Vipassana Meditation: An Ancient Buddhist Practice

About this episode

This episode explores the foundations of Vipassana meditation, an ancient practice used by the Buddha to attain enlightenment.

As part of our Winter Meditation Series, this episode explores the foundations of Vipassana meditation, an ancient practice the Buddha used to attain enlightenment. Vipassana invites us to slow down and observe what's here, just as it is. Sensations, breath, thoughts, and emotions are met with mindfulness and pure witnessing. In this episode, I first share a brief overview of what Vipassana meditation is and how it's traditionally practiced. Then, you'll be guided through a simple Vipassana meditation you can return to throughout the season. This practice is ideal if you're seeking more presence, clarity, and calm throughout your days.
