Tara Brach: Meditation: Vipassana – The Practice of Seeing Clearly

Tara Brach's most recent Dharma talks (Dharma Seed)

(Insight Meditation Community of Washington DC) 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.
