ABSTRACT
Nondual awareness is seen in the waking state as a single setting in which various phenomena take place. It also causes several layers of the self-creation process to become tranquil. Although these reductions are sometimes negligible in comparison to those found with a focus 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 includes modifying the experience of emotions. This involves the capacity to modify an emotion’s duration or intensity rather than its whole transformation. Emotional regulation abilities include the capacity to recognise, 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.
