Which ancient traditions, and is the ancient tradition any functional part of whatever "sensible" thing you have in mind? More sensible than shitting on the sidewalk or less sensible than shitting on the sidewalk (honest question, lol)? In what way does this particular form of meditation help scientists understand experiential states (and which states)?
I think that you'll find christianity to be just as ala carte as any "ancient tradition", btw..and that doesn't really salvage christianity for me so it's not going to salvage some ancient tradition. But, opinions and positions vary, obvs.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
