Yes.. Meditation is Common for all humans.. any person can meditate or at some point of time in life every person meditates unknowingly in day to day life.
Saint Teresa of Avila defined Christian meditation as follows:
"By meditation I mean prolonged reasoning with the understanding, in this way. We begin by thinking of the favor which God bestowed upon us by giving us His only Son; and we do not stop there but proceed to consider the mysteries of His whole glorious life."[12]
Gospel of Matthew, c. 1700.Quoting the Gospel of Matthew[11:27]:
"No one knows the Father but only the Son and anyone whom the Son wants to reveal him" and I Corinthians[2:12]: "But we have received the Spirit who is from God so that we may realize what God has freely given us",
theologian Hans von Balthasar explained the context of Christian meditation as follows:
"The dimensions of Christian meditation develop from God's having completed his self-revelation in two directions: Speaking out of his own, and speaking as a man, through his Son, disclosing the depths of man.... And this meditation can take place only where the revealing man, God's Son, Jesus Christ, reveals God as his Father: in the Holy Spirit of God, so we may join in probing God's depths, which only God's Spirit probes."[13]

How did landowners explain that owing slaves was all right?
Landowners during the time of slavery often justified owning slaves by citing economic benefits, social norms, and religious beliefs. They argued that slavery was necessary for maintaining their economic prosperity by providing cheap labor. Additionally, they believed that it was a social norm that had been practiced for generations and accepted by society. Some landowners also used religious justifications, citing passages from the Bible that seemed to support slavery.
How is christian meditation different from Buddhist meditation?
It is different because it is Buddhist meditation not christian I Know it seems stupid but its true. In most meditation techniques, there are two components - concentration and equanimity. The concentration element always has an object of focus. Buddhist mindfulness meditation practitioners focus on the breath. Christians focus on Christian prayers, thoughts of Jesus, images of Jesus, etc. The object of focus is generally what differs from culture to culture. The similarity is that the practitioner becomes increasingly absorbed in the object of focus, relaxing into it and merging into it. Meditation is about absorption. When thoughts come up, the practitioner often takes note that thoughts and emotions are occurring, without judgment. The thoughts are allowed to be like clouds moving through the sky. Afterward, the attention goes back to the object of focus. This is the equanimity element of meditation. Different cultures have different objects of focus and different ways of centering themselves to prepare for meditation. Some Christians claim that their approach is more special because they focus on something while "eastern" approaches require you to focus on nothing. This is a false claim. There is typically an object of focus in most traditions. There is no best way to meditate. You just have to find what you are compatible with. If you're Christian, I would recommend using Christian symbolism and objects of focus such as a line of a prayer, the concept of Grace, a visualization of Jesus, etc. For more info, you can Google "object of focus meditation tips". If you're Christian, you can Google "Christian meditation" or "contemplative Christianity".
