This practice is a form of "point of focus" meditation with focus on the breath, traditionally known as anapanasati. There are many reasons why this practice is so powerful, but the main aim is discipline of focus. To become more deeply acquainted with your mind and the tricks that it uses to pull you off course if left unchecked, and to improve your ability to remain focused where you want to be even when you are not meditating.
Regularly returning your focus to your breath trains the brain to focus more easily and to be more obedient, rather than wandering around unchecked like a puppy that got off its leash and is eagerly exploring every scent and sound. It can be compared to the effects of weight lifting on your muscles! It is scientifically proven to make your brain stronger and more capable.
To get the full benefits out of meditation, it is recommended to engage in this type of meditation daily. 5 minutes a day of focused meditation is far greater than a full hour sitting once a week. The key is consistency. Showing your mind that this is something you come back to regularly. That it is important. This will help the benefit of mental focus and obedience (to your higher mind) to spill out into your regular day outside of meditation.
"The practice of focusing one's attention changes the brain in ways to improve that ability over time; the brain grows in response to meditation. Meditation can be thought of as mental training, similar to learning to ride a bike or play a piano.
Meditators experienced in focused attention meditation (anapanasati is a type of focused attention meditation) showed a decrease in habitual responding a 20-minute Stroop test, which, as suggested by Richard Davidson and colleagues, may illustrate a lessening of emotionally reactive and automatic responding behavior.[15] It has been scientifically demonstrated that ānāpānasati enhances connectivity in the brain."
