The Difference Between Transcendental Meditation and Mindfulness 

Daniel Skedelj The notion that all meditations are the same is widespread, but in fact untrue. Different meditations often involve different practices or techniques, and produce different outcomes. Practicing Mindfulness, for example, generally includes paying attention to your breath and observing your thoughts. The TM technique, on the other hand, includes using a mantra, and doesn't involve any focused attention. Some of what makes the TM technique special is how easy and enjoyable it is to practice, how effective it has been proven to be, and the standardized but individualized learning process, which is taught one-on-one by certified teachers.

Transcendental Meditation That's a gross mischaracterization of other forms of meditation: lumping them all as "mindfulness" and spewing a falsehood that other forms of meditation claim to be "difficult."

Trinoculus Films You are right, you can't lump all meditations together as mindfulness. The point we are trying to make is that you can't lump all meditations together as "meditation" either, since they vary so much in practices, intentions, and results.
