With all due respect to the participators in this current conversation, as a side note concerning the topic of meditation, I can relate to what contactee Enrique Villanueva said about it in his Jar Mag. interview by Paola Harris:
PH:
When you say raise the vibration, does that mean that people have to be, at that particular moment, on a certain vibratory level for them to communicate? And does that mean always using meditation to get to that level?
EV: No, not always meditation, because you can have the attitude of meditation even when you are awake. If you have been practicing meditation for a long time, you can be in a state of meditation even when you are talking to people, buying in the stores. So I think the goal is to try to get that level of balance, of inner balance between your physical, your mental and your spiritual.

As a long time meditator and one who experienced a spontaneous Kundalini back in the 90’s, I can relate very well to what Enrique is saying here because I experience the same thing too.
Non-meditator's would not understand what Enrique is really saying but I understand it perfectly. I can be in that state and be completely awake and lucid. This is the way I am when I take time out everyday for my "meditation" session.
