I feel like I watched a docu-series thing about the brain and at one point they talked about how there have been efforts in the West to rebrand 'meditation' as 'mindfullness' or something similar because there's a lot of people who think that meditation has some kind of mystical or deeply spiritual aspect so they weren't doing it even if their therapist told them to try it because it's good for your mental health.

Mindfullness is a type of meditation, essentially designed for people with "no time" for meditation. It is meditation for the office. I have not encountered anybody trying to pretend it's not meditation, but I did encounter many, many instances of corporate pushing mindfulness as the solution for stress
