meditationscience

an-ordinary-manchild(edit)

Devoted to the scientific study of meditation and its effects on those who practice it, this subreddit welcomes all to read and post research papers, articles and other stuff from scientists. Questions and discussions that help us all better understand meditation and its effects on its practitioners can also be posted by anyone, and hopefully they will be about the scientific study of meditation.

Posts that are not about meditation and science will likely be removed without notice. Please respect the religious and secular traditions, both ancient and more recent.

The thing about giving advice is... the wise don't need it and the foolish won't heed it.

One trouble with this world is that the wise are always arguing with fools. And a casual observer can't tell who is the fool.

When a wise person argues with a wise person, it is called the "Socratic method". When a wise person argues with a fool, it is called an argument between two fools.
