Meditation is the calming and quieting of the mind. Sometimes, people meditate for relaxation purposes, and other times, people meditate to focus their minds and achieve a specific goal. There is nothing paranormal or supernatural about meditation. It is simply a name for a thought process.
Many people who practice psi meditate in some way. Some use classic eastern meditation techniques. Others use self-hypnosis. Still others use prayer as an avenue to meditation. There is really no difference in these techniques when it comes to the state which is produced in the mind.
There are theories of psi that discuss the idea that psi abilities are natural abilities that are present in everybody. Most people don"t recognize the psi input either because they ignore the impulses or there is too much activity in their minds for them to hear the subtle psi thoughts. Since meditation is considered a way to calm the mind, it provides an additional opportunity to hear the subtle psi perceptions. That is, if you remove some of the static in your thoughts using meditation, you are more likely to perceive the psi stimuli that is constantly in the background.
Using hypnosis or guided meditation can help to modify behaviours (like smoking, nail biting, or other behaviors). Meditation can provide more restful relaxation which may help enhance our abilities during your waking hours. Concerning spiritual abilities, that would depend on what you consider spiritual. It has been demonstrated that the hypnotic state enhances psi abilities and the success on psi experiments (Schechter, 1984). That being the case, meditation or hypnosis or prayer may enhance your abilities to experience paranormal phenomena.
