Is Mindfulness the Relaxation of Meaning?

Mindfulness, particularly the body-scanning methods popular among Vipassana retreats, are effectively, a way of reducing the emotional and intellectual excesses of meaning. 

By repetitive attention something that would be processed at a level of meaning dissolves into parts that lack that meaning and you start experiencing something that seems to lack connection to the meanings you had previously.

However, this may be a consequence of the thorough de-meaning-ization of your regular experience.
