Consciousness is the key. Does consciousness go out into form and identify with movement? Or does consciousness go inwards to formlessness and rest in the stillness of Being?
So meditation is both an experience and not an experience. It depends where we are coming from.

Of course there is experience during meditation, but can meditation really be referring to a kind of experience and/or a state of mind? I don't see how it could be, because the experience is changing, and mind states to come and go. It seems to me that is has no dependent qualities at all, just as 'being' implies 'existent' in the most overall sense.
