What Is Meditation?

[BjarkeT]

Hi  

would it be okay if somebody could explain what meditation is? Most videos i have seen on meditation has been about what you do when you meditate but I haven't really found anything on what meditation it self is. Is it some kind of deep relaxation of body and mind or is it contemplation is it being in a state of not thinking?(i am sorry if i am rude but it doesn't seem so difficult to be in that state if you are bored) or just awareness or something different? 

One definition google came up with was that its: "the action or practice of meditating" but it doesn't really explain what the word meditation it self is 

i am just a bit confused would mean a lot if somebody could clarify what it is (maybe with examples )

kind regards
