Agreed. Probably confusing for some because the article didn't name any specific practices that would very much be considered "meditation" when stripped of cult

Agreed. Probably confusing for some because the article didn't name any specific practices that would very much be considered "meditation" when stripped of cultural baggage. Modern Catholicism still greatly encourages such activities as eucharistic adoration (a silent reflection) and rosary devotions (a form of mantra), and the monks of old would have devoted enormous amounts of time to these as well as fulfilling the daily office; but modern secular culture does not find these things nearly as palatable as the Buddhist-influenced mindfulness practices so they tend to get left out of articles like this.
