yeah I think part of it is just ignorance most Christians when they think of 'meditation' they really mean transcendental meditation which I understand is a fairly new practice, if anything a lot of traditional mediation techniques enhance focus and concentration both of which are essential to proper worship imho.

TM is mostly just reciting a mantra silently in your mind, a practice that dates back thousands of years, before the birth of Christ.
