Operational Definition: The “Achilles Heel” of Meditation

摘要

Meditation is a practice that can produce a quantic phenomenon, often allowing a change of consciousness not totally predictable. Coming from ancestral traditions, meditation is an increasingly accepted intervention in the academic community; however, studies still need an adequate operational description that will allow its complete reproducibility. This article presents this aspect that needs to be revisited: the basic methodological care that enables the study and the use of meditation in health.
