Mindfulness (Vipassana) Meditation (10:16)

2-part audio talk titled, “The Basic Elements of Meditation Practice”
This two-part series offers a clear and fresh understanding of practices that cultivate mindful awareness. The first class examines our attitude towards practice and gives guidance on posture, establishing an anchor for attention, and learning to concentrate and collect the mind – “coming back.” The second class focuses on the practice of mindfulness – “being here,” and the component qualities of clear recognition and an allowing non-judgmental presence.

Getting Started is Easy!
1. Take a few minutes to review the first section of the FAQ Guide, and then begin by practicing the guided audio Breath Meditation.
2. Continue practicing this short meditation daily for four days, and then the Mindfulness (Vipassana) Meditation for the next ten days.
3. During these first two weeks, at your own convenience, listen to the 2-part audio talk “The Basic Elements of Meditation Practice.” Also refer to the FAQ Guide as questions come up to help you deepen your understanding of the art of meditation.
4. Moving forward, you can use the Mindfulness Meditation as your “root” practice, but feel free to draw on the Breath Meditation and a range of related guided meditations available at www.tarabrach.com/guided-meditations.
5. I’ll email you some reminders every few days and some extra resources to help you on your path.
