Beware the new age mysticism. Meditation in itself is okay; Kundalini, new ageism, Taoism and the spritualities associated with meditation border on brainwashing.
Focused breathing and calming the mind are healthy, but beware of the overwhelming excess of spiritual disinformation that goes with researching meditation. If someone gives you spiritual information about the subject be incredibly reluctant to believe it.
By opening your mind to different meditative practices you open yourself up to religion disguised as fact, science and spirituality. I'm hardcore into researching religion and have found new ageism and meditative preachers are just about the most deceptive group there is. Don't take my word for it, don't take anyone's word for it. Be careful.
