yeppers! There is lots of different kinds. Just like the meditation described above, Vipassana is taught free at retreats around the world.
It is a process of observing how you feel (physically, emotionally, etc.) in each part of your body.
Just breathing and observing your breath, the rise and fall of your stomach, or even counting your breaths does fine.
Thoughts popping up is part of the process.
You will catch yourself, later, having gotten lost in your thoughts for (sometimes ages!) some time. Then you, non-judgementally (this takes practice!) you return to the breath.
This is what meditation IS. It is a process of observing what you do - your body and mind - and not clinging to what you like and pushing away what you dislike but just observing and letting what is, be.
They call it "monkey mind" and meditation is an opportunity to just observe it. You don't need to escape it and it doesn't ruin meditation. It IS meditation.
