Meditation lowers stress and anxiety. It has been known to improve overall health, both physically and mentally. And so, it's overall benefits makes this a potentially potent healing mechanism. Typically, stress or being fatigued may lower your threshold for seizures (i.e., more likely to have them). Therefore any activity that may help you to de-stress and maintain your energy level could possibly prevent seizures. Some have found that smoking cannabis helps to relax and therefore reduce numbers of seizures.
With that said, each individual has their own unique triggers and preventative methods for seizures (even depending on what type of seizures you have e.g., petite or grand or whatnot). Perhaps it's finding out what leads to seizures (as Primordial Abyss points to) and figuring out what activities are most helpful in your unique case.
I use meditation when I have an episode of hemiplegic migraine that's kind of like stroke symptoms and occasional hallucination. Meditation works so beautifully. Usually the culprit is allergies + stress & being tired or worried usually does the trick... so meditation helped to ground & remind self 'it's OK'. Seizures is something more severe, but I think there are cases out there where people managed to find best way to prevent episodes. Hope all goes well
