Vipassana Meditation

The Technique 

Vipassana, which means to see things as they really are, is one of India's most ancient techniques of meditation. It was rediscovered by Gotama Buddha more than 2500 years ago and was taught by him as a universal remedy for universal ills, i.e., an Art Of Living.
This non-sectarian technique aims for the total eradication of mental impurities and the resultant highest happiness of full liberation. Healing, not merely the curing of diseases, but the essential healing of human suffering, is its purpose.

Vipassana is a way of self-transformation through self-observation. It focuses on the deep interconnection between mind and body, which can be experienced directly by disciplined attention to the physical sensations that form the life of the body, and that continuously interconnect and condition the life of the mind. It is this observation-based, self-exploratory journey to the common root of mind and body that dissolves mental impurity, resulting in a balanced mind full of love and compassion.

The scientific laws that operate one's thoughts, feelings, judgments and sensations become clear. Through direct experience, the nature of how one grows or regresses, how one produces suffering or frees oneself from suffering is understood. Life becomes characterized by increased awareness, non-delusion, self-control and peace.

I now cannot imagine taking a yoga class without the inclusion of scents and oils! It enhanced the class on several levels. First & foremost, their therapeutic & restorative properties naturally enhanced my breathing. Additionally, because the oils had such a pleasant calming effect, I transitioned through yoga poses with relative ease & grace.
Essentially, the world's greatest secret is right under your nose! Pardon pun :)Everyone should come to Robin's class for a happier, healthier life.
