It has been said prayer is talking to God, and meditation is listening to Him. Of course, I'm not referring to Yoga or anything like that. Simply studying scripture, or, as you put it, opening your heart to God.
I remember a great song I was taught in my youth group many years ago, but have never found the source. If anyone knows, please share...

Often I find myself "meditating" over music. Simply being amazed that God can create so much. I see music as a link to the heart of God, expressing the emotions and feelings that He meant for us.
But it can be misused. This is sad to me, that people will use music to foster an emotion in church. While I'm sure God can use anything, I don't think He wants us to "trick" people to the altar.
