It’s a common question... even among seasoned practitioners. While the two are deeply connected, understanding their unique qualities and purposes can transform how you approach your personal practice or how you guide others. In this episode of the Mindfulness Exercises Podcast, we explore the key distinctions between mindfulness and meditation, drawing from their ancient roots, scientific research, and modern applications. You’ll gain clarity on how each practice works, when and how to use them, and which approaches may best support your mental well-being, emotional regulation, and spiritual growth. Whether you're a mindfulness teacher, therapist, coach, or curious practitioner, this episode will deepen your understanding and support more intentional choices in your practice. What You’ll Discover in This Episode: ✔ The historical and cultural roots of both mindfulness and meditation ✔ How mindfulness differs from meditation in structure, intention, and setting ✔ The role of formal and informal practice in mindfulness ✔ A breakdown of various meditation styles—including loving-kindness, TM, visualization, and body scan ✔ What the science says: unique benefits of different meditation practices ✔ Common myths and misconceptions that hold people back ✔ How to choose the right practice for your goals, lifestyle, and personality Mindfulness and meditation are not one-size-fits-all. When we understand their differences, we can choose the tools that best support us—and those we serve—with greater clarity, intention, and depth. 🌿 Tune in to gain clarity, deepen your practice, and better guide others in mindfulness and meditation.
