Insight Meditation is a direct and simple form of practice that allows one to move towards a more peaceful and awakened state of mind. This practice helps to free the mind and emotions from reactivity, fear and stress, leading to steadiness, wisdom and compassion in everyday life and relationships.
The day focuses on a series of short meditations with detailed instructions followed by a time for questions and reflections. We begin with a correct posture for meditation – chairs and cushions are available or bring your own. We then move to establishing the breath as the primary object of meditation. Hearing and walking meditation are also presented in detail. Brief presentations of the key principles of Insight Meditation are included at different points throughout the day.
To register call 254-7077 or email vtimc@sover.net. There is a $15 registration fee for the day to cover expenses. In this tradition, a Dana or generosity offering is made to the teacher at the end of the retreat out of gratitude for the teachings.
