Welcome to psych.SE.  Can you provide some background on why you think there should be a connection between meditation and priming, and what efforts you have made yourself to find information on the topic?

I was wondering because my understanding of meditation - obviously, there are many types - is to become more aware of your thoughts. The way I’m reading the book, meditation appears to be an attempt by System 2 to change - or perhaps more quickly come to the aid of - System 1.
