Meditation is a state of consciousness that can be understood only on a direct, intuitive level.
Ordinary experiences are limited by time, space, and the laws of casuality, but the meditative state transcends all boundaries. Meditation is a natural state of consciousness that isn't learned, any more than one learns to sleep. When the mind becomes one-pointed and steady, it will naturally go beyond the normal mundane awareness into the state referred to as Meditation. Please sit down comfortably, spine erect, head straight. Hands on the top of the knees or in the lap, wherever comfortable.
