“Whilst I feel for the people who have had these experiences and can empathise with them, I am on the second episode now and I am worried there is a serious lack of science so far. Perhaps Whilloby is a scientist, though it doesn’t say so, only that she runs a not for profit and is an “expert”. Most of what she has to say seems to be based of the collation of peoples experiences rather than a rigorous scientific study. I might be wrong, but it is not made clear. We only hear from other distant “experts” third hand who “widely agree”. All a bit wishy washy and based on hearsay. But maybe it will improve.
Quick side note: I do not meditate and have no skin in this game. Not trying to undermine the sources in this podcast, just commenting on how the podcast has been put together.”
