Nevada Convert Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 This is bizarre. How harmless does meditation seem, but a big study proves it can have quite troubling negative effects on people. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/10503307.2021.1933646 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The San Diegan Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 This statement in the bottom of the abstract says it all: Quote Participants reporting MRAE were equally glad to have practiced meditation as those not reporting MRAE. Additional correlates of MRAE were identified in exploratory analyses. In other words, correlation does not equal causality. The 1/3 who reported some adverse effects (e.g., anxiety) really have no clue themselves that the mediation was responsible (which is probably why they were happy to have practiced as as those who did not report any adverse effects).
