The word "meditation" is very popular in Western culture. The main source of its popularity is based on the yoga practices and philosophy. In Taoism, meditation doesn't follow the same purpose like yoga. Furthermore, there are no postures (asanas), nor inner concentration or fusional feelings.

Basically, Taoist meditation is more like a sort of wisdom achieved by close observation of the things and phenomena in the world surrounding us. Such wisdom should help us go alongside with things and not against them, and is surely related to the nondoing concept and practice.

I see this post is ancient, but Taoist meditation is of huge interest to me, so here goes. I have done quite a bit of reading on the subject and would be more than happy to share my sources and discuss the topic.

I have no doubt that Lao Tzu practiced meditation to come up with the classic Tao Te Ching.
