He asserts that individuals must cultivate sensitivity and awareness to their inner state to identify and address the root of their emotional triggers.

“The only way that I know is you need to become more sensitive for everything that goes on in your body, in your surrounding, in everything. This is where for me awareness does play a role”

The primary goal of mindfulness practice is to build awareness of one's present-moment mental state rather than to achieve instant happiness.

“This is not mindfulness training is not about having unbridled joy and peace instantly. We are not doing this with any end goal other than being more aware of what is happening to us moment by moment.”
