The point of meditation isn't that you'll ever "get beyond" experiencing your experience. This might be hard to get your head around, but... The point is that by fully experiencing and not resisting your experience, the volume turns down on it after a while. "Oh, my back hurts. Hunh, my nose itches." It's not about NOT having thoughts like that, it's about acknowledging them and letting them go.
I don't know how much good meditation will do you in eight minute bites, but eight minutes is certainly more than zero minutes!
