Hey! Sorry I'm typing through my phone. Your first interpretation is right. I had one incredible day of fluency after about a week of meditation. Probably 15+ hours in total. It was just so effortless, words flowed out of my mouth like water. I had to actually step back and consider the experience because it was so out of the ordinary. Alas, I couldn't keep it up because I have a super busy work schedule and some personal relationships problems put me in a bad place. My layman's interpretation is that meditation has been proven to increase gray matter and brain imaging studies show stutterers have a small Brocas area (gray matter). Maybe meditation helps to grow this area, which I understand is responsible for helping to process language.
