People confuse the term meditation and mindfulness. Maybe like development vs programming.
Mindfulness is what has been spreading, but usually it is intoduced as meditation.
I didn't downvote but I can't imagine someone vomiting by simple guided mindfulness exercise. Telling someone to "focus on your breathing" or "if you find your distracted by thoughts, just be aware of those thoughts, and return to your breathing" doesn't strike me as very invasive.
