Different religious or philosophical paths have different attitudes and ideas about what meditation is/does. My own experience of meditation is buddhist and meditation is used as a way of developing particular mental states that buddhism sees as desirable such as wisdom, compassion etc.

I don't think most buddhists would see a lot of value in one minute of meditation and nothing else but I'm sure George would have been very pleased if you learnt a meditation and tried to make it part of your life. The benefits are wonderful. I will certainly be including him and his family the next time I do a metta bhavana (loving kindness meditation). I owe him a lot for the pleasure his music gave me over the years. May you be well.
