The Discovery of Awareness and Its Impact—
A Qualitative Study
Institution: The Baumann Foundation
This study explored the first-person accounts of individuals involved in several contemporary awareness teachings regarding the nature and qualities of awareness, the relationship of awareness and its recognition to the alleviation of human suffering, and the impact that the discovery of awareness has across multiple life domains. Purposive sampling was employed and individuals selected who were either senior students of or teachers within several contemporary awareness traditions (n = 28). In consultation with several teachers, a semi-structured interview protocol was developed. Interviews, which took approximately 90 minutes to complete, were then transcribed and thematic analyses subsequently carried out by two independent reviewers.
