I am looking for resources related to meditation. I've made the same call before but this time I am aiming at checking the evidence more thoroughly.
I am particularly interested in 1. Decent studies in general 2. Information relating to the dangers of meditation 3. Resources that outline the differences between the different types of meditation
(no need to send me the wiki page on meditation research but if you are particularly impressed in a study there, that could be useful to me)
Here is a self-link to my meditation blog; this post has links to other posts:

The blog is a mixture of personal experience, unscientific references, and cherry-picked peer-reviewed research. I specifically talk about the dangers of meditation, with included citations, but unfortunately it's all mixed in with other stuff. Here is one place to start:
