If I meditate does that mean that I don't exist?

If I meditate, I am not really thinking, as I am relaxing, and since I am not thinking when I meditate, and when I am completely relaxed, does that mean I don't exist?

No, you still exist.

If not thinking equaled not existing the World would be empty

Ummmm, except for all the great minds here at ATS! lol

"Cogito, ergo sum" or "I think, therefore I am" is a bit of Descartes philosophy. The mere fact that you're questioning your existance now in regards to your existance in a meditative state, pretty much confirms you exist.

I think, therefore I am => I don't think, therefore I'm not!

But, if the negation isn't correct, then can the original be correct?
What is the proof that we exist?

Perhaps existence is fleshed out through meditation

Also, many people don't think when they watch television. Does that mean they don't exist?

What is relaxing? Emptying your mind requires a definite cognitive effort. Focusing on nothing requires all your energy...I think.
