Abstract

This is a response to John Rowan’s (2019a) paper ‘Do transpersonal psychologists know what they are talking about?’. Two different meditation practices can lead to two different altered states of consciousness, samadhi and satori, the latter being associated with psychotherapeutic insights. Rowan’s article is about samadhi so this paper concentrates on satori, comparing and contrasting the two, which are often confused with each other, in particular their galvanic skin response (GSR) correlates are different. Some personal experiences of satori are described.
