In The Power Of Now it explains how to focus on the Now. This feels very similar to meditation? (self.meditation)

As per title, focusing on Now feels very similar to mindful meditation where you focus on current sensations to stay in the now. Is there a difference I'm missing?

Other than terminology, no.

For some people the term meditation has religious overtones that does not sit well with them so psychologists will often teach the practise without using the term to avoid negative reactions from people who have other faiths.
