What is meditation?

Today a group of friends invited me for a morning of Vipassana meditation.

While I was sitting, the question arose: what is meditation?. This is a question that cannot be answered when you are NOT meditating, as then it would be just an intellectual answer.

Happenings have a beginning and an end, they are related to "actions taking place".  But it seems there is something besides "happenings".....
