The benefit is cognitive defusion. That means you gain the ability to observe your thoughts instead of identifying yourself with them.

This gives you more control (because you also learn to accept whatever comes up) and as a result more happiness.

Check this video with a step by step guide how to meditate I did. It's pretty easy and everyone with a bit of patience can benefit from doing it.
