"Meditation is exclusively a mind-based process. And true meditation aims at transcending the mind. Normally the mind indulges in the opposites - likes and dislikes. The likes attract you and the dislikes repel you. And these attractions and repulsions both make you restless, agitated or tense. To transcend the mind means to bring about progressive reduction in these forces of attraction and repulsion and finally attain a situation where you are no more victimized by the thoughts and feelings your mind produces." - Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha

I happened to come across similar instructions in a book by Osho , which I am reading now.
I've heard of Osho and several people here on Gaia have mentioned those books, but I've not read any yet. My list of books to read is so long that unless I become a speed reader I'll have to live to be 500 in order to read them all. :-)
