Tara Brach

With a tender attention, we rest with breath, sensations, and sound—gently returning when the mind drifts. As we offer loving phrases like “May I feel happy” and “May I be free,” we nourish a deep sense of well-being and connection, embracing this life with compassion and an open heart.

Retreat Meditation and Instruction: Vipassana - Path of Practice (2018-10-07) - Vipassana, also known as insight meditation, is training in bringing a clear mindful attention to our moment to moment experience. We begin by relaxing through the body and then resting attention with the breath – or some other sensory anchor – and allowing the mind to settle. Then we open to whatever is predominant or calling our attention – sensations, emotions, sounds – meeting each arising experience with a clear, kind attention. The gift of this process is discovering balance in the midst of the changing flow, and gaining deep insight into the nature of reality.
