I don't do the meditation exactly, but I recently trekked to Mt Everest base camp and stayed in Nepal for few days. I get mentally overwhelmed with the natural beauty and that sort of creates effect similar to meditation.

After coming back, I feel much calmer. Very few negative thoughts occur in my mind and I noticed that I don't get worked up that easily. I somehow learned to not get angry at the slightest provocation.

Not sure if this helps you, but thought I would put it out there.

This happens to me in any encompassing natural situation, or even after watching a well-made nature documentary. It feels as though the troubles of my daily life do not matter as much as the beauty I have witnessed-- it feels like I'm privy to another world that seems external, but feels internal, like the creations of nature are actually a part of me.
