meditation

I have never been into meditation. I'm wondering what the purpose is for. Is the goal to clear all thoughts from you're mind? If you do how long are you suppose to stay that way? I don't see myself being able to quiet my mind. It's scary in there, lol. What are the benifits fron doing meditation. I just finished doing my last round of chemo.(pray it's the last time.)
wondering if meditation would help. My fear or it coming back doesn't help, I know. It's hard to not live in the whole cancer state of mind. Surronding yourself in white light isn't meditation, right? sorry for all the questions.

peace,

Thank you Unluckyraven for taking the time to explain it to me. Also I never thought about the white light as being a barrier., defiantly something to think about. I also would like to apologize for the attitude about the "free reading" post. You have a lot of insight for being so young. When I was you’re age (forever ago) I wasn't even close to figuring out who I was or what I was all about. I'm going to try some of the techniques you posted about, in the above mentioned thread. Thanks.
