Vipassana otherwise known as insight meditation is an ancient Buddhist form of meditation which focuses on cultivating awareness.

The importance of this type of meditation is grossly ignored. This type of meditation should be taught worldwide through schools. This branch of meditation does not encourage the pupil to focus on one area to block out all other stimuli. Instead, Vipassana teaches us how to be where we are and see life for what it is.Vipassana opens our eyes to things as they are.

Though we may believe that we are here in life experiencing it; that is an illusion. We humans actually spend most of our human experiences in our heads.

We fail to see things, people and situations as they are; we seem them as we are.

Vipassana allows us to end this dreadful affliction of living solely in our minds. We get a break from ourselves as we come out to play with life as it is. Vipassana literally translates to seeing in a special way. When you’re really present, trust me you will know it.

You step into a fairy tale like the world where you begin to really notice and appreciate just how intricate and radiantly genius nature is. You become alive with the gift of life, you begin to see people as they really are and perhaps most importantly you get to see yourself as you really are.

Vipassana affords us the opportunity to see past the illusions of life; you see past the illusions of money, time, your personality, people’s personalities and tap into the infinite realm of the absolute.

When you tap into the true nature of things your life becomes easier and your problems become less of a burden because you start to realize the true nature of things and the true nature of yourself. You separate yourself from the illusion of separation where you realize that everything comes from one source and therefore everything is connected.

You begin to realize that everything is connected through a manipulation of energy and that the physical world is a mere reflection of the inner world. You learn not to take physical world problems too seriously because you know to deal with them, you know that it starts in the mind and that is what you must control.

Not only is life easier, but practising Vipassana affords its pupils peace of mind. When you tap into who you really are and what reality really is, you begin to realize that all your needs are set to be made with effortless ease.

There is nothing you need to worry about, life is inherently designed to support you and Vipassana meditation is your gateway into the Universal intelligence designed to support you. To practice Vipassana meditation, it may take years to attain a full awareness.

All you need to do is a focus, focus on your surroundings, focus on your thoughts, focus on your bodily sensations and let the truth come to you. Abandon all the thoughts, theories and concepts that you may have learnt before and become an empty vessel listening and watching for true wisdom.
