Meditation and Bhagavad Gita:

Meditation has been discussed in detail in the Bhagavad Gita. A complete chapter is dedicated to the Dhyana Yoga. How to meditate according to the Bhagavad Gita is prescribed in Chapter-5, Sloka 27-28 where the Lord says:-

स्पर्शान् कृत्वा बहिर्बाह्यांश्चक्षुश्चैवान्तरे भ्रुवो:
प्राणापानौ समौ कृत्वा नासाभ्यन्तरचारिणौ ।।२७।।
यतेन्द्रियमनोबुद्धिर्मुनिर्मोक्षपरायण:
विमतेच्छाभयक्रोधो य: सदा मुक्त एव स: ।।२८।।

Shutting out all external sense objects, keeping the eyes and vision concentrated between the two eyebrows, suspending the inward and outward breaths within the nostrils, and thus controlling the mind, senses, and intelligence, the transcendentalist aiming at liberation becomes free from desire, fear, and anger. One who is always in this state is certainly liberated. {Source: Krishnakosh}

In a scientific study, findings of research conducted on Mindfulness Meditation suggest possible effects of mindfulness meditation on specific markers of inflammation, cell-mediated immunity, and biological aging.

In remedial Astrology, practice of mantra-meditation is recommended as a strong antidote to stress and anxiety especially during the dashas of malefic planets such as Saturn, Rahu & Ketu. In general, irrespective of the dashas, one should spare atleast 5-10 minutes a day to practice mantra-mediation.
