Vipassana meditation
Vipassana means “seeing things as they really are” and is one of India’s most ancient meditation technique.
Vipassana meditation is a way of transforming oneself through self-observation. Vipassana is the art of being mindful of oneself. We become enlightened to our reactions to the states of hurt and pleasure. But in opposition to reacting with like or dislike, we become feeling to these agitations of the mind. This systemization makes us reach the obscure parts of our consciousness where being and mental thought, chemicals and sensations, meet each other. At the end, we turn aware of the patterns through which our deepest usances are formed.
This awareness unties us from these habits and we become proficient of our minds. It helps us realize the source of all reflections and feelings and makes one ‘wise’ in the true meaning of the word.
Vipassana assists one to attain the feeling of mindfulness - the state where we see things for how really are. Vipassana is the realizing that, by direct intuition, of the reality of three characteristics of being - mortality, pain and non-self, in all things - including our carnal and intellectual processes. The realization focuses more directly and on a more intuitional level level rather than a cerebral understanding.
