Meditation has been around for thousands of years. The Buddha helped to formalize the mindfulness practice. Meditation has been a part of every main religion. However the practice of meditation is really a secular practice. One does not need to join a religion or cult to practice it. In reality meditation is an exploration of our mind. It is exploring the true nature of reality. How do we create what we believe? What is its truth? What is our relationship to it? There is no woo woo about this!
