Over the last twenty years, a great amount of research has been conducted in the field of “Contemplative Science” (CS), considered a crossroads between contemplative spiritual traditions and neuroscience. This is a relatively heterogeneous discipline that includes quite different techniques (mindfulness, compassion, body-mind techniques, etc.), distinct approaches from secular to religious traditions (Buddhism, Vedanta, shamanism, monotheistic religions, etc.), and different sets of terminology that frequently require clarification. One of the more challenging features of CS is its methodology, given the difficulty involved in assessing its introspection dimension. The consequence of all these aspects is that CS has become one of the newest and most interesting fields of research in psychology.
