Although there is a suggestion to find a Sufi teacher in the answer
https://islam.stackexchange.com/a/39348/51761 , I am looking for if Islam (Quran and Hadiths etc) suggests or mentions any ways to meditate, mindfulnes, gratitude, spirituality, concentration, feeling connected with God or universe, etc. other than just prayers and chants.
P.S. I am a spiritually inclined person. What does Islam suggests about me?
Update: @Muhammad Haneef's answer says there is not as such any thing as meditation in Islam. But if a Muslim practices some other sort of meditation (such as nowadays mindfulness meditation used in mainstream therapeutic psychology) does Islam forbids that practice? Or if a Muslim learns Yoga or some other sort of meditation, does the religion restricts him or her for doing so? Would it be seen as trying to modify or add on over the Quran? or these will be seen as just some permissible secular techniques?
