What is it?

Hmm in simple way, Mindfulness is about focusing on the present moment, like fully experiencing your morning coffee. Meditation is a practice, often involving techniques like focused breathing, to cultivate mindfulness.Okay, here's an example:

Imagine you're eating a piece of chocolate 🍫 . Mindfulness is being completely aware of its texture, smell, taste, and the moment it melts in your mouth, without any distraction or judgment.

While Meditation is sitting down daily for ten minutes and focusing on your breath to train your mind to stay in that state of present moment awareness.

I took was confused about the two methods but then read that following book.

Mindfulness for Beginners By John Kabat-Zinn

Mindfulness: In the moment

Meditation: Pause. 

Meditation is a moment for you to pause, breathe, clear your mind, and calm your soul. 

Mindfulness is being present in the moment. It brings you back to where you are if you are stuck in thoughts of the past or the future. I have a trick I use: I close my eyes, put my hands on my knees, and ask myself, "Where are my hands?" It instantly puts my mind in the present moment. I am not in the past. I am not in the future. I am HERE, and this is what I have to work with RIGHT NOW. 

Then there is "mindfulness meditation". Google says it is a practice of focused awareness on the present moment, cultivating a non-judgmental observation of thoughts, feelings and sensations. I call this "letting the feelings flow in and out". 

I hope this makes sense!
