All meditation techniques have at least one thing in common: they all ask the meditator to become more watchful, more self aware. All techniques ask the meditator to notice one element or another of their inner world: their breathing, their thoughts, their feelings, their physical sensations.
The best way to discover more about meditation is to find a technique which feels right to you, and go ahead and try it!
Some people will say they all have similarities because they all have a god and worship something.
But in my understanding, formed after fifteen years of meditation, the notions of god and worship do not enter. Meditation is about *awareness* of what is, in the present moment. It is not about an abstract concept or a label. And the word "worship" is tricky. Who is doing the worship, and what are you worshipping?
A meditator, regardless of tradition, simply watches what is happening, as thoughts, feelings, and sensations pass through the body mind. Over time, a sensitivity develops, and one may glimpse the presence of the divine, a tremendous godliness all over existence. But this glimpse is a *direct* experience, not a belief or a notion.
