In the last month or so, I've been interested in the measurement aspects of the "its" dimension, for meditation and forms of integral practice - as such, I've been looking for these type of studies and programs.

This is particularly pertinent to ways and means of measuring skills, as what is needed for a Skillful Means project is a coherent manner to provide confirmation/disconfirmation, at the individual level, for the efficacy of various practices.

I came across this wonderful study, by Jean Kristeller, who combines meditation in a program for overeaters.

Also, here's a link to the paper (WARNING:  This is a PDF file). 

Lots of information for researchers in reference section as well.

A post from Personal Level that breathes clarity.  Go take a look, it's a treat.
