Most Cosmic rays have energies between 107 and 1010 electron volts but one has been detected with an energy 3X 1020 ev. This is about the same energy as decent tennis serve (about 50J) and about 50 000 000 X greater than what the large hadron collider in Europe will be able to achieve when they finally get it going.
Because cosmic rays are atomic nuclei - protons (hydrogen nuclei), alpha particles (helium nuclei) and heavier nuclei made from protons and neutrons - their overall electric charge would be positive.
Since E=MC2 the energy of the universe should equal the mass of the universe times the speed of light squared, which would be very large. It is thought, however that due to the nature of energy (positive and negative balancing each other out?) in the universe the total sum would be quite small and that 1gm of matter may contain enough energy to produce a universe.
So is the energy of the universe very large or very small?
The ultra-high energy cosmic ray has the most energy discovered, so far.

No, you cannot stop a cosmic ray shower. You can block cosmic rays using various materials, but you cannot prevent them from entering Earth's atmosphere.
I think you ment what is cosmic energy. Cosmic energy is a very powerful substance. It is usually found in stars.
Not unlike wind, the human eye can't see cosmic rays directly, but their effects can be made quite visible, using various techniques. In cloud or bubble chambers, the cosmic ray collides with sufficient energy to leave a visible trail, albeit somewhat briefly, but the path of the cosmic ray becomes easily apparent. In spark chambers a technique using charged plates can cause sparks to jump between plates when the path of a cosmic ray creates an ionization channel along its path. Other techniques involve materials which will generate light when a cosmic ray strikes its surface, which can trigger electronics to amplify or make audible. The word 'quantum' may be somewhat redundant in this context; remembering that a cosmic ray is actually made of of particles, be they protons or atomic nuclei traveling at high speed - they are really matter and not electromagnetic radiation as the name might suggest. Since matter does exist in discrete physical units or quanta, loosely one might say that all matter is quantized.

Yes, if you know how to meditate and reach a certain stage of meditation, you will gather lots of cosmic energy. Also, when you sleep, your body will gather cosmic energy but you are not able to get as much as when you actually meditate. Cosmic rays enter through your head and into your body. You might want to do more research on it to learn more.

Cosmic ray: A ray of radiation of extraterrestrial origin, consisting of one or more charged particles such as protons, alpha particles, and larger atomic nuclei. Cosmic rays entering the atmosphere collide with atoms, producing secondary radiation, such as pions, muons, electrons, and gamma rays. Cosmic rays (and secondary radiation) can be easily seen in a cloud chamber.(American Heritage Dictionary, 2005)

The only possible form is via electromagnetic radiation, in the visible, infrared and ultraviolet sections of the spectrum. Cosmic ray particles also reach us but they can hardly be classified as energy
