It's for everybody. And there is a form for everybody. Meditation is just one form. I like more active mindfulness. Zentangle (Zentangle.com) is designed to be a mindful practice. I consider it "active". I used to teach it. It was largely responsible for taking me out of my last depression.
Jon kabat zin has a book on depression and mindfulness but is a few years old and uses meditation as the primary form. Real challenge form me. Since then the center he started studies more active forms including hearing presentations about Zentangle. (They have studied art but not Zentangle.) But there is an ios app called buddify that I can actually do. They also have the mp3s on their site.
Btw, you can practice mindfulness anywhere. Example, next time you are driving a car pay attention to everything sensory from when you blink to the pedals to your feet to the feel of the road to the sounds outside your window. Really pay attention. That is mindfulness!
