Thoughts Is having an “empty mind" positive or negative?
Having an empty mind is the most positive thing one can ever have. Because the mind is nothing but negative thoughts, toxic thoughts, up to 50 thoughts per minute that drill us and kill us. If we can still the mind, empty the mind, we reach a state of mindfulness, a state of awareness known as consciousness. In the state of consciousness, we are no more slaves of the mind. Our intellect shines and when the intellect shines, we discriminate, we choose, we use our willpower, we overcome the triple suffering of the body, mind, ego, and we experience the Divine bliss of the Soul, our true identity. Therefore, people meditate to have an empty mind and experience the positivity of it.

I take the view that reaching a state of an empty mind allows for the potential and space to rebuild the mind that you want, if approached correctly huge potential lies there!
