I don't know, this post feels a bit... 'woo' to me. Are there any peer-reviewed studies of the effects of meditation that you think are particularly enlightening? (sorry, I couldn't help myself there)
Seriously, though, I've meditated before but it was difficult to determine whether any perceived benefits were really placebo or not.
Indeed. Compare to this earlier post about meditation.
In my opinion, the description of meditation in that post has very little in common with the ways that meditation would be described in the context of seeking enlightenment. (No disrespect to the author.)
