* I MADE AN ERROR! THE GRE EXPERIMENT WAS NOT CONDUCTED BY DAVIDSON. It was conducted by researchers at UC Santa Barbara!! 

Episode Summary:In this episode I talk about the magic of meditation, how to (attempt) to define it, why many of us attempt to skip it when we engage in Occultism or Witchcraft, and the work of Richard Davidson & Daniel Goleman. Together they have experimented and written about the benefits of meditation. Join me as I fall down a meditation rabbit-hole!
