Seeing the Void: Experiencing Emptiness and Awareness with the Headless Way Technique
ConclusionsOur findings provide preliminary evidence that the Headless Way exercises can effectively induce experiences of emptiness and awareness in participants without prior experience. The findings suggest that such experiences can be elicited outside of a traditional meditation context, including in non-meditators. Furthermore, the experience of not being person-like and of perceptual absences may be precursors and more general forms of recognizing awareness itself and the void-like nature of the mind.PreregistrationThis study is not preregistered.
