The liberated heart, at ease with itself.
You are home.
This human life brings inevitable discomfort, anguish and sorrow.
However, in each moment you have a choice:
Give in to distraction, despair and never-ending desires
or
Look within, seeking understanding and release from emotional pain.

Insight (Vipassana) Meditation is clear awareness of exactly what is happening, as it happens.
It is a gradual process of investigation into the flow of experience, revealing the true nature of reality.
Mindfulness of our body, feelings and thoughts is the foundation of Insight meditation practice.
Cultivating an open, compassionate attitude toward whatever is arising, we see
the inherent impermanence, unsatisfactoriness, and selflessness of all phenomena.
The goal is self-knowledge, freedom from internal struggle, liberation.
