Paradigm of Mindfulness – Ways to become clear headed and equipoised

Not only in Zen Buddhism but also in Vedic texts a lot of attention has been given to acquiring a calm and tranquil mind. Either by learning from nature itself or putting emphasis on analyzing and understanding its inherent dynamic mechanism rather than getting too worked up with strenuous intellectual gymnastics.

The mind's primary functions of thinking, feeling and willing can be implemented in a proactive, positive manner in order to elevate one’s individual’s state of consciousness rather than to simply strain one’s empiric perception in the process of acquiring positive knowledge.
