Why in the world is this being downvoted?

ScienceDaily is a highly reputable source, AFAIK.

EDIT: Thanks, downvoting weirdos. May I ask why you're even subbed here?

lmao.

Because it's bullshit from a quack chiropractor.

I guess lemmy doesn't believe in meditation huh, wild. It's amazing.

[–] JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social 2 points 2 days ago

Funny. The very paper itself is proposing that belief isn't needed, because we have measurables. Or you can look at the real-world, impressive work of Mark Epstein, who does a great job coming at meditation (and Buddhism) from both an insider and an outsider's perspective. (he's a trained and licensed psychiatrist)

So maybe it's really more of an anti-belief thing here?
