What is the difference between meditation and mindfulness?

Greetings

So I don't have an official definition, but what I was told is and I'm happy to share is

• Meditation is about focusing on a single point e.g. breathing or by portraying visualisations to install calmness or confidence
• Mindfulness is about learning how to be in the present moment. That is - feeling our sense see, hear, taste e.g. mindful eating, mindful walking, breathing. I'll re-iterate - its about using the tools around you be in the moment.

I would say there is a debated grey area, that is, in the example above you'll note I mentioned "breatthing". Take that as you will, but, I believe the above is the general rule.
