Without pushing forward, without having a goal, experience the motion and flow of walking. Allow citta to pick up the embodied signal in movement – and come home.

Inspiration from Inky (the octopus). Let go of the past, future and present. Six sense doors. Relativity of sight. Resting in not knowing. Robots and dark matter.

2016-04-13 Meditation - Vipassana - Practice of Seeing Clearly 18:38
Tara Brach	Download Listen
Vipassana, also known as insight meditation, is training in bringing a clear mindful attention to our moment to moment experience. We begin by relaxing through the body and then resting attention with the breath - or some other sensory anchor - and allowing the mind to settle. Then we open to whatever is predominant or calling our attention - sensations, emotions, sounds - meeting each arising experience with a clear, kind attention. The gift of this process is discovering balance in the midst of the changing flow, and gaining deep insight into the nature of reality.
