Abstract
Reflective practices are an important aspect of qualitative research. They allow the researcher to assess their feelings, attitudes and potential biases to their subject matter, which often includes interviews with participants. However, reflective practices are not typically associated with the more quantitative aspects of social science. This paper, through personal illustration, aims to show how reflective practices can lead to open and inquisitive questioning for those who work with empirically derived data. As a cognitive psychologist, I reflect here on my experience of meditation, and my recognition of different modes of thinking, and conclude by aspiring to find a balance between the rational and the intuitive.
