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?

Sounds like vipassana meditation.

We basically have 2 kinds of meditation.

In the first (concentration) we pick a piece of the now and hold our attention upon that.

In the second (vipassana) we do that to the whole now, without choosing any particular part.
