I have recently been asked what the difference between self hypnosis and meditation is. The best answer I could come up with is that meditation aims to empty the mind whereas self hypnosis aims to add suggestions.

I know the definition is not really that important, and I am aware that they are very similar, but it has got me thinking! Anyone have any comments on this?
