Vipassana meditation (insight or mindfulness practice) unites the
stillness of concentration with the immediacy of moment to moment
experience. As we learn to calm the body and mind, intuitive
wisdom arises. This allows us to open to the truth of each
moment’s experience within and around us. In this way, we
increase our ability to meet life’s ups and downs with ease and
presence.


 


Metta (loving-kindness) meditation practice calls forth the
beautiful spiritual emotions within our heart: loving-kindness,
compassion, empathetic joy and equanimity. Mindfulness of these
qualities strengthens and brings them into fruition. This process
guides our thoughts, attitudes and behaviors into the direction
of awakening to our full potential.
