Re: Druidic meditation
What do you mean? There really isn't any specific meditation technique unique to Druids. Or if there is, I've never heard of it. Specific meditations are easily found on some of the Druid groups sites (and on personal blogs), but they are generally centered around specific rites, rituals, themes, ideas, beliefs, or holidays, etc.

Re: Druidic meditation
This actually is useful and I will consider this. I just wanted to be sure on how to do it, as I imagine Druid meditation would be different than Jewish meditation or Buddhist meditation. I figured Druidic meditation would have something to do with nature, as they respect and revere and talk about nature more than the other religions. I wondered if trees played a part in it, or a certain plant could help and enhance meditation, like crystals do.

I find this one rather enjoyable, even though I first learned meditation just through vipassana and zen techniques. As Aeran said, OBOD also has some guided meditation albums for sale, though I've only done the samples that they've offered up on DruidCast. I also made some beads based on Erynn Rowan Laurie's "A Circle of Stones" book and will occasionally do that meditation, though it involves the recitation of various passages from the Lebor Gabala and is a bit more complex.

Re: Druidic meditation
From what I've gathered in my research so far, Druids generally don't practice the clear mind or Buddhist approach to meditation, I forget the term but it is more an active form in which there is guided meditation (errant thoughts are ok, but are focused and tracked down back to the neutral state instead of just 'banished' - so much closer to a Zen meditation approach), different poses to align with the powers of the earth and above, I've also seen walking meditation a part of it as well. There are also a set of color meditations that I've found as well that seems to be closer to what you have in mind.
I'm not sure about 'druid specific' herbs and crystals for meditation..but I've dabbled a little into it with my own path.
