Depends how you do it. But I can tell you three things it does for me:
Allows me to detach from myself and sort of Alt-F4 a lot of those background processes that are churning up my anxiety and wasting my emotional energy.
Lets me bank some calm that I can withdraw later in emergencies.
Helps me practice shutting out distractions to focus on a single stimulus, eg. when someone is talking or when I need to watch something over a period of time.
