What is Vipassana?

Vipassana, also known as Insight Meditation, is one of the oldest meditation techniques originating from ancient India.

It is a form of mindfulness meditation focusing on gaining insight into the nature of reality. The practice involves:

  • Observing the sensations and experiences within the body and mind.
  • Allowing the practitioner to gain deep insights into the impermanent, interconnected.
  • Constantly changing nature of existence.

The technique has its roots in the teachings of Gautama Buddha, who is credited with rediscovering and popularizing it over 2,500 years ago. Vipassana is an essential part of the Buddhist tradition and is often taught within meditation retreats, known as Vipassana retreats.
