Gerunds are verbs with the -ing ending that are used as NOUNs.
For example:

When a verb ends in -ing, it may be a gerund or a present participle. It is important to understand that they are not the same.
When we use a verb in -ing form more like a noun, it is usually a gerund:
Fishing is fun.
When we use a verb in -ing form more like a verb or an adjective, it is usually a present participle:
Anthony is fishing.
I have a boring teacher.
Gerunds are sometimes called "verbal nouns".

gerund is a noun from a verb + ing form.
you will know that if the verb+ing is put in the front/back (as subject or object), and no be behind it, from example :
meditating is strengthening the thinking.
meditating and thinking are gerunds
strengthening is verb (continous form)
