Mindfulness & Meditation

The practice of mindfulness, a core teaching in Buddhism, originates from vipassana meditation, which is thought to be one of the oldest Buddhist meditation techniques.

The primary aim of mindfulness is gaining insight into the nature of reality and achieving liberation through self-inquiry & collective understanding. Vipassana is a meditation technique of self-observation (breath, body, mind) without attachment.

Meditation is for those willing to engage in a consistent spiritual practice. Benefits can include ease of mind, integration of mind-body-soul, clarity & understanding, stress reduction, relaxation, and collective liberation. Each individual is unique, each experience is unique.
