Is it your belief that meditation just causes the mind to be numb?

Question by Sara on "Meditation":

In another question, someone suggested that meditation just made your mind numb and empty, and then it was in danger of being filled with wrong thoughts. I don't know if they meant it became the Devil's Playground after that or not. I've never felt that way in meditation, and I wonder if this is a popular Christian belief, that prayer is good but meditation is not. If you aren't asking God for anything other than His blessed company and help in becoming a more pure and moral being, doesn't the line between prayer and meditation dissolve?
