Abstract

ABSTRACT: A new spiritual understanding commonly known as the Three Principles proposes that mindfulness/flow/mental health is people's most natural state and can be realized and sustained by everyone via insights gained through understanding three spiritual principles—Universal Mind, Consciousness, and Thought. We test this proposition for people exposed to the intervention grounded in these principles. The results appear to support our prediction that insight regarding "thought recognition" and/or "innate health via a clear mind" gained through understanding these spiritual principles will show a significant positive relationship with mindful attention, mindful acceptance, flow experience, and mental health.
