The Nature of Non-Reactivity
Adopting a posture of non-reactivity allows individuals to observe their thoughts without being controlled by them. This awareness fosters a deeper understanding of one's true self, separate from the mind's incessant chatter. By embracing this approach, practitioners can discover a profound sense of being that transcends their typical thought patterns and emotional reactions. Ultimately, this leads to greater self-awareness and the capacity to exist without the constraints of the constantly active mind.
