Answer to Question 1

EEG patterns show that the person meditating is not in a sleep state.

Answer to Question 2

Early investigators also showed other physiological indicators of relaxation such as lowered blood lactate levels indicating reduced skeletal muscle metabolism (Wallace et al., 1971), higher skin resistance indicating less anxiety (Wallace, 1970), decreased heart rate (Wallace, 1970), and increased alpha wave activity (Wallace et al., 1971).
