Mindfulness meditation, anapanasati,
and related techniques, are intended to train attention for the sake of
provoking insight. A wider, more flexible attention span makes it
easier to be aware of a situation, easier to be objective in emotionally
or morally difficult situations, and easier to achieve a state of
responsive, creative awareness or "flow".
Research from Harvard medical school also shows that during meditation,
physiological signals show that there is a decrease in respiration and
increase in heart rate and blood oxygen saturation levels.
