Lengo linaweza kuwa utulivu wa nafsi, ambao unasaidia pia afya ya mwili, au uchimbaji wa jambo fulani, au utafutaji wa jibu la swali lililojitokeza, au uamuzi kuhusu maisha au mengineyo ya namna hiyo.
Tafakuri za makusudi lilitumika toka zamani katika dini mbalimbali hata kwa kufumba macho, kukariri maneno fulani, kutumia tasbihi za aina mbalimbali, n.k.
Kwa namna ya pekee, tafakuri inazingatiwa katika monasteri.
