To me mediation should be done without thought, and no I don't just mean close your eyes and think of nothing. I am more saying that something as simple as painting, being in nature and just observing things as they come,
or even eating your favorite food can be a meditation. Sitting down and doing nothing is hard for most people who are just starting to put intent into meditating.
Anything that causes you to go in a deep rhythmic state without worry of anything else in the world is a meditation. One of my favorite forms of meditation is to focus on my breathing, taking full inhalations and exhalations until it eventually fades from my mind and I go off some place outside of my body completely. You should try it sometime.
Just remember when you are breathing to inhale through your nose and watch your belly fill up like a balloon. When you exhale it can be through your nose or mouth, and your belly should suck in to release all of the air you inhaled before.

You are right! meditation means thinking nothing at all, even not that you are thinking nothing. Just sit in the correct position (asana) and breathe, feel your inner things.

It is not as complicated as some make it out to be. A lot can be learned from just our inner self.

@daltono thinking about meditation reminds me of the Feb 13th midnight. Here in India Mahashivratri was celebrated on 13th Feb night (6pm to 6am) at Isha yoga center. Whole celebration was streamed live on T.V channels, but the most important part of the celebration was the mid-night meditation. check out this footage, this is one of the rare videos where Sadhguru goes into deep meditative state, unlike ever seen before on video, https://steemit.com/sadhguru/@benatbanglr/sadhguru-at-maha-shivaratri-2018
