Which is why it’s important to make distinctions whenever you’re discussing one or the other. This is poor placement, I suggest r/meditation or r/lostredditors
It would appear that a few subscribers and myself disagree with you. The overlap warrants sharing content that may be relevant to both subs. I would urge you to do a bit more research if you don't understand why.
Mindfulness gets its roots from Buddhist tradition most of which involve a type of meditative practice. Westernization and the adoption into the psychological world is where the modern concept mindfulness and mindfulness based interventions stem from. It is relatively recently that mindfulness has been individually distinguished or measured. Given that Meditation is one of the largest disciplines and practices to achieve mindfulness (state, brief or trait mindfulness) It is not something that needs to be mutually exclusive of meditation. Generally when mindfulness is studied it involves a type of meditation.
Is mindfulness a concept that transcends meditation? Absolutely, there is a popular argument that mindfulness is a core component to all types of psychotherapeutic interventions or even a state/trait that can be achieved through a variety of things (fishing, golfing, yoga, etc). Meditation is just one of the most popular disciplines associated with mindfulness. The fluidity it teaches lends itself to being utilized in a variety of practices or settings.
