Buddhist ways.

Okay, now I've been looking into Buddhist routines (Meditation and such) and I've seen that it isn't all bull.. Whenever I meditated, I legitimately felt more without stress than before. And this got me thinking, are the Buddhist routines actually effective? Could it be that one belief in the world isn't total B.S and could actually have some effectiveness behind it? I mean, I know the whole "Buddha rising to the heavens" thing is a bit far from the truth, but the teachings seem to be rather effective. It promotes finding inner peace with one's self and peace with the world around you, I dig that (but I would never go full Buddhist).

So, I'm asking all you atheists out there, do you think Buddhist techniques are effective in the way they claim they are?
