The Buddha distinguishes three kinds of seclusion:

  1. Physical Seclusion ('Kāyaviveka')
  2. Mental Seclusion ('Cittaviveka') = Samādhi
  3. Seclusion from all Aquisitions/Attachments ('Upadhiviveka') = Realization of Nibbāna

We have to develop them gradually, deepening them step by little step, based on each other. We can start with bodily seclusion, by at least occasionally retiring into an empty room for an hour, without any gedgets, mobile, internet, social media or interaction with anyone.
