Advanced Techniques: Insight (Vipassana) Meditation

Delve into the ancient roots of the Vipassana tree, its branches reaching high into the sky of deep self-observation. This form of meditation is like the art of seeing beneath the surface of a lake, down into its clear depths. The goal of Vipassana is to perceive the ever-changing dance of reality, to understand the impermanence of all phenomena as leaves that flutter to the ground in autumn. The techniques of Vipassana are the shovels and trowels we use to dig beneath the surface of consciousness, to unearth the gems of insight that lie buried in the soil of our experience.
