It's at least not as wide varied as "One type of exercise is lying perfectly still in bed" and "Another is sprinting and lifting weights". To me, that's the range of definitions that meditation has. I have heard that meditation should be thinking of nothing, I have heard that meditation should be reflection on the past, I have heard that meditation should be free-form thinking, or focused on the present. This range is, to me, roughly equivalent to "meditation is basically anything, usually (but not always) involving some quite though process".
