The Seven Factors of Awakening
Last Updated on October 31, 2026 by Matthew Sockolov
Today we cover the Seven Factors of Awakening, also known as the Seven Factors of Enlightenment. These are seven qualities we cultivate that lead to “true knowing and release.”
We cover each of these seven factors, when to cultivate them, and how they are interrelated. This is a teaching that can serve us in both formal meditation practice and in daily life.
