AWARENESS ITSELF IS WHOLESOME

See this content in the original post

Yogi: The mind is noticing more neutral and wholesome experiences – even when it is watching hindrances, it can be quite relaxed and detached. Is this right or is it just delusion?

Sayadaw: The mind is not deluded to recognize the wholesome. When we’re being mindful, we’re acknowledging both the wholesome and the unwholesome.

Remember also that when you’re aware of the unwholesome, the recognition itself is wholesome. The awareness of any experience is the highest wholesome mind that we can bring to any moment of experience because it has wisdom.

Don’t forget that awareness itself is wholesome.
