That's an interesting idea. What kind of thing are you thinking?
I think we---Fred and I---have typically used the comments as a space to be more descriptive, but I don't think that's a very strong case for it being that way. I'd love to hear more about what you're thinking.

Something like:
10 WoW! Beyond anything i could have imagined
 9  One of the best
 8  Better than usual
 7  Better
 6  Good
 5  Not bad, worth the effort
 4  Marginally worth the effort, maybe not                         
 3  Annoying, better not to have done it
 2  Troubling
 1  Disturbing
Why meditation would be troubling or disturbing I do not know.  Mine are usually 5,6, ot 7.                                          I

Thanks for the scale--that's really cool! One idea that comes up is to let people define their own scales within the site itself. That way the system could have a personal meaning.
What do you think?

Yes, mine was just off the top of my head.  It occurs to me also that few meditations if any will be disturbing. Maybe something morel like like:
5 Great
4 Pretty good
3 About average
2 pretty distracted
1 Very distracted
