Editorial: Deepening consciousness: what phenomenology, yogic, and Buddhist meditation can contribute from a psychological perspective.

This editorial argues that phenomenology, yogic practices, and Buddhist meditation offer valuable perspectives for deepening the psychological understanding of consciousness. It suggests that these contemplative and philosophical traditions provide methods and insights that can enrich empirical research on consciousness, moving beyond purely cognitive or neuroscientific approaches. The piece calls for integrating these first-person, experiential approaches with third-person scientific methods to achieve a more comprehensive study of conscious experience.
