Is mindfulness a type of meditation?

Mindfulness meditation is a type of meditation, but mindfulness as a quality is broader than any single practice. When you set aside time to focus on the present, often using the breath as an anchor, that is mindfulness meditation. Mindfulness the skill, present-moment awareness, can also be practised informally throughout the day without any formal session. So mindfulness lives both inside meditation and out in ordinary life. StillMind offers guided mindfulness sessions and encourages carrying that awareness beyond them.
