In DBT, meditation is only one route to mindfulness. Another is to do tasks mindfully, focusing only on that one thing and letting distressful thoughts pass. Taking a shower and focusing only on the feeling of water and soap. Walking and focusing only on the sights and sounds and feel of your feet on the ground. It's a technique to relieve the grip of emotional distress in DBT.
