Meditation in the U.S. started in the late nineteen sixties and became more popular in the seventies. It was part of the hippy movement or at least that movement embraced it. One of the icons of that time in music The Beatles got into meditation and some of the eastern music from India was integrated into a few of their songs and this helped bring attention to meditation. The member George Harrison probably was its biggest proponent from the rock/pop band. John Lennon was the other Beatle that was more interested in this form of contemplation. The singer, guitarist, and songwriter Cat Stevens also got into a religion that espoused meditation as a big part of its tradition. That was Islam.
