Pretending it is anything more than a way to order your thoughts and slow your heart rate; which reading and journaling both do with about the same scientifically measured effectiveness, is the woowoo part.

It's not a tie to a spiritual world, or doesn't raise nor lower your vibration or frequency or whatever nonsense is pushed by which ever nonsense 'sect' decides to use it to back their nonsense.

It's useful in creating a relaxed environment for your body to not overreact and start it's maintenance functions. And can be useful as a practice to control your thoughts into more useful patterns.

Gotcha, so your point is not that meditation is woowoo; your point is that expecting meditation to connect you to the spirit realm is woowoo.

Just so we're clear, this is called transcendental meditation and I'm pretty sure it was created and started by an Indian man in India.

Edit: ooh, didn't like that one did ya? You've earned your tag.
