This talk provides a review of those mind conditioners, also called cetasikas, that cooperate to shape each moment of self experience that is not afflicted by dukkha–distress and confusion.  The talk also provides a description of how these wholesome factors integrate with the Universal Mind Conditioners and the Particular Mind Conditioners to provide a well-integrated personality and provide a basis for further developing the mind towards full Awakening.  The archives of this site also provide a recording: “Guided Universal Wholesome Mind Conditioners Meditation”.
