...council did propose that the labs handling the testing be very strictly accredited by an independent agency. It recommended that the odds of an error be calculated and presented to juries more conservatively than is now done.

Their own method, they said, is a hybrid of several traditions. But, they said, the goal of any sort of meditation is to lose yourself, to become so detached from your everyday existence that your thoughts simply drift through your head without your becoming preoccupied by them.
