Meditation is often confused with Concentration or contemplation.

Meditation is not narrowing of mind or concentrating on one point, mantra or deiti image.

concentration only makes the Mind Powerful.

RIGHT meditation is going beyond the Mind. Going beyond the mind which is always chattering, always thinking, always seeking some thing new.

meditation means we are living life as it comes, we are either aware of our actions or we are total in our actions..

many times we are in meditative state but we dont know it.
e.g we are seeing a Sunset and we lost all our tensions, seeking in that moment and are totally watching that sunset.
we feel relaxed, silent, blissful...
and this relaxation, silence and bliss is not because of sunset its because we were meditative while watching sunset.
accidentally our MIND has stopped and we were out Mind control.

just imagine 24 hrs we keep on thinking and thinking.
is there any moment when we dont think.
our mind keeps us busy all the mind.
moments when we are silent, we are not thinking are the moments of Meditation.

so any thing can become a meditation.
any thing which makes u silent, free from thoughts can kick start your meditation.
it could be painting, gardening, playing with children.

meditation is a knack of being in the moment. living moment to moment
with out drifting into past and future.

we need mind to make money in this world, then we can think, plan , analyze or in short use Mind.
but once our office work is done we can be meditative

There are loads of opinions on all things, including metaphysical and spiritual. I personally avoid concepts of 'right' or 'wrong'. Whatever works for folk is all that matters.

meditation can never be wrong.
but many times people do follow some practices which is not Meditation.

e.g Concentration is NOT meditation
contemplation or Prayer is not meditation.

meditation is not narrowing down of Mind but it is going beyond the Mind- towards the self
