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.
The ultra-high energy cosmic ray has the most energy discovered, so far.
No, it is not possible to stop cosmic ray showers. They are high-energy particles from outer space that constantly bombard Earth's atmosphere. However, Earth's atmosphere acts as a shield, absorbing and deflecting most of the cosmic rays before they reach the surface.

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.
Cosmic rays are high-energy particles that can penetrate through the human body, potentially causing damage to cells and DNA. Prolonged exposure to cosmic rays can increase the risk of cancer and other health issues. However, Earth's atmosphere provides some protection against cosmic rays, and the risk for most people on the ground is relatively low.

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 rays have shorter wavelength than gamma rays
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 "Oh-My-God Particle" is significant because it is the highest-energy cosmic ray ever detected, with an energy equivalent to a baseball traveling at 60 miles per hour. It was referenced in the XKCD webcomic to highlight the incredible power and mystery of cosmic rays in our universe.
