The main purpose of mindful meditation is to achieve a calm, intentional awareness of one’s internal state and external surroundings. This condition can last from a couple of seconds to several hours, depending on the amount of time allotted for meditative practice, as well as individual focus.
Mindful meditation provides an opportunity to create mental clarity, and various techniques exist to achieve this state. With some practice sessions, one can attain the calmness and clarity that mindfulness meditation offers, as well as associated benefits like increased presence in daily life and transcendence from pain.
