What is Insight Meditation?

Insight Meditation is a meditation practice with foundations in Vipassana - a Buddhist form of meditation and way of seeing the world that can lead to more self-awareness and inner peace. Vipassana emphasizes mindfulness, observation, and moment-to-moment awareness and helps us respond to the world with less reactivity or stress and more equanimity. Though Insight Meditation’s roots are in Buddhism, one doesn’t need to be a Buddhist to practice. Anyone can learn and anyone can benefit. It is a simple practice to learn, but profound in its impact!

“The insight aspect of meditation serves to deconstruct the problems we may create out of misunderstanding and misperception. Insight helps us see and understand our selves, life and the world realistically. It’s more than just a technique; it’s a path to seeing things as they truly are, leading to genuine wisdom and liberation.” - Malcolm Huxter
