Dear practicioners at Dhammawheel,
We're a group of psychologists at Åbo Akademi University (Finland), University of Turku (Finland), and Stanford University (CA, USA), and we're conducting a study about the experiential features of meditative states and their relation to different aspects of well-being. We'd love to hear about your meditation experiences.
We're interested in all kinds of experiences. The survey takes about 30-60 minutes to complete, depending on how elaborate your answers are. You remain completely anonymous throughout the study. You can participate via the link below:

Your participation is much appreciated!
Kindly,
Hilla (masters student, University of Turku)

Along similar lines, the longest ago you could have last done psychedelics is 1+ year ago, which cannot reflect youthful excess of many years ago (and in my case totally unrelated to meditation practice of more recent years). I fear filling this survey in will give a misleading picture of my practice.

Hi,
Thanks for pointing this out! You’re absolutely right. This was a coding mistake and has now been fixed. We absolutely don’t mean to imply that drug use is somehow customary. It’s just important for us to know if the answerer has used psychedelics recently because it may affect the answers in some way. Thanks for letting us know.
Sincerely,
Hilla
