Warning on meditation
Meditation is experiential
Meditation is not an intellectual exercise. Understanding why or how it works is not necessary to gain from meditation. Such an exercise is rather impediment to your progress on the path of meditation. Meditation is a experiential process. You have to experience it. The only way you gain anything from it is to practice it.
Just do it
There are so many meditation techniques. Most of them achieve the same thing. Each technique appeals to people of various temperaments and beliefs. Progress on some technique may be faster based on your current faith & belief set. Some may suit people with faith in god. Some suit people without any faith in god.
Survey couple of them and pick one which appeals to you. Then just dive in. Just do it.

Very well said. Meditation has helped me immensly. I would like to add that instead of going through meditation sporodically it should be made a part of daily routine. I do not know how far trying to meditate helps but I definately know that once the person begins to believe in the process while trying, the result will be exponentially positive.
