My meditation method is Vipassana but really I don't see a big difference between the different methods. When thoughts arise I just notice them but without judging them. They are niether good nor bad, they are just thoughts. I don't try to follow them and I don't try to push them away, I just notice them and once I notice them without judging they tend to fade away.
The most valuable meditation lesson I've ever had is to "expect nothing" just sit and meditate without prejudging what the result will be.
I followed Buddhism without meditating at all for long time and the Buddhist ethics did help me a lot but it wasn't until I had been meditating for a while that my mind was able to rest and I became a calm person, not just in meditation but in eveything else too.
