Meditation can be many things, it's really up to the person what they do while they meditate.
The best explanation I have is ignoring your thoughts. You aren't sleeping, your mind is blank. Meditation feels like (to me at least) the feeling right before you fall asleep.
Imagine you're playing with bubbles, these bubbles are your thoughts. Generally, your mind tries to capture the bubbles, exploding them and seeing what was inside. When you meditate, the bubbles just kind of whizz by without looking inside.
It's a good way to explore what we are as humans, and it's sobering in it's power to tap into things we otherwise wouldn't experience.
