Using the sensations of body and breath as an anchor for awareness in the Vipassana practice. Using the felt sense of the breath and body to help the body to settle, soften, and stabilize. Thus, lending those same qualities to the heart and mind.
We enter meditation with a sense of faith, that there’s something beneficial that can be derived just by coming into the present moment. Witnessing, aware of, not in it, not rejecting it – a firmness of presence builds up. The initiation is faith, the consummation is wisdom.
