New age meditation???

[Qwer]

I've just seen a few things on google about new age meditation, but they didn't explain it real well. I think meditation has stated the same for years but people have changed it With all the knew info they have today. I'm pretty sure it involves alot of visualizing or something like that. But it sounds interesting and I would like to give it a go. Does anyone know about it? What it is? How to do it? And what the differences between meditation and new age meditation?

I haven't heard of New Age meditation before. The following is a quote from the Wikipedia article on meditation: New Age meditations are often influenced by Eastern philosophy, mysticism, Yoga, Hinduism and Buddhism, yet may contain some degree of Western influence. In the West, meditation found its mainstream roots through the social revolution of the 1960s and 1970s, when many of the youth of the day rebelled against traditional belief systems as a reaction against what some perceived as the failure of Christianity to provide spiritual and ethical guidance. New Age meditation as practised by the early hippies is regarded for its techniques of blanking out the mind and releasing oneself from conscious thinking. This is often aided by repetitive chanting of a mantra, or focusing on an object. I'm not sure what the difference between meditation and New Age meditation is, but this was the only information I could find about it.

I beleive it just refers to the new age of meditation/spiritualness The difference would be that it is a religion-less/tradition-less practise of meditation Dont quote me though
