Empowerment of Mindfulness and Analytical Thinking for Awakening and Enlightenment

Abstract

Empowerment of mindfulness can be achieved through practicing mindfulness, being conscious and self-aware by always being present in the everyday’s lives and not letting negative and impulsive emotions such as greed, frustration, outrage and lust heightened by sensationalized news to overwhelm and affect the mind and analytical thinking. It is important to practice mindfulness in order to regain consciousness and self-awareness as a reminder to refrain from letting emotion from taking over and start applying analytical thinking into everyday’s lives. Analytical thinking is the way to objectively evaluate information in order to tackle problems that occur around us in today’s society. Therefore, practicing mindfulness and applying analytical thinking will help people to realize everything is impermanent: arise, sustain, and vanish. Truly realizing the body and mind will lead to awakening and enlightenment
