Those are all (or at least mostly) pretty great, especially since you can trigger them as an immediate action. Cast them up to six times at the start of the day, and the 24-hour duration lets you have any/all of those excellent abilities available immediately when you want to use them. They're also a very nice pick for spontaneous casters, because each of them is sorta three spells in one. Only Visualization of the Body is on the Magus list, though.
Three points:
1. you can only have one meditative spell in effect at once, and can only cast them when prepping spells. (You have to ready it the day before, and then cast it the next day while prepping.)

2. Visualisation of the mind gives a bonus on skill checks, Visualization of the Mind gives you a bonus on ability checks and skill checks. (Which means body doesn't give +5 init, which is....probably reasonable, from a 2nd level spell)

3. Spontaneous casters cannot benefit from meditative spells.
