I suspect that nuns meditate for the same reason others do. Meditation helps strengthen awareness. Meditation helps us to see that we are not the mind, not the emotions, not the body. Meditation brings a sense of calm. Meditation helps us to see that fulfilling the desires of the mind will not bring a lasting sense of contentment. And finally, meditation brings one closer to a sense of godliness, of the divine.
