Abstract

Nondual awareness is observed in the waking state as a singular setting in which various phenomena take place. It also induces tranquility in several layers of the self-creation process. While these reductions are sometimes negligible compared to those found when focusing on suppressing all self-related contents, they are nonetheless linked to a decrease in the typically excessive and self-evaluative manifestations of resilience and emotional control. Rather than reducing or repressing feelings, emotion regulation involves modifying the experience of emotions. This includes the capacity to adjust an emotion’s duration or intensity rather than its complete transformation. Emotional regulation abilities encompass the capacity to recognize, comprehend, and accept emotional experiences; to restrain impulsive actions when upset; and to flexibly regulate emotional experiences as necessary. This study aims to investigate the relationship of non-dual awareness in developing emotional control and resilience. The relationship between non-dual awareness and affective states was investigated using the Nondual Awareness Dimensional Assessment (NADA) and Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS). According to the findings, non-dual consciousness and positive affect have a positive but moderate correlation, r=o.4 and p value=0.0007 and r=0.5 and p value=0 for NADA trait and state respectively. While non-dual awareness and negative affect, although a weak relationship, have a negative correlation. r=-0.10 and p value= 0.2 and r=-0.05 and p value= 0.003 for NADA state and trait respectively. Overall, there is only a certain percentage that demonstrate the direct relationship between the two and further research is to be conducted to look at the potential outcomes to improve emotional regulation, resilience and well-being that can be used in mindfulness-based therapies. Moreover, it helps assert that non-dual perspectives could have broader social and political repercussions because they promote empathy, compassion, and a sense of connectedness, which could lead to more cooperative and collaborative social structures.
