Insight Meditation for Beginners: Developing a Calm & Clear Mind with Matthew Daniell


  • Omega Institute for Holistic Studies 150 Lake Drive Rhinebeck, NY, 12572 United States (map)

Learn to calm your mind using the simple yet profound practice of Insight meditation with NSIMC guiding teacher Matthew Daniell.

Insight meditation, also known as Vipassana meditation, is a simple technique that originated in the Buddha's teachings more than 2,500 years ago. Its practice teaches us to calm and steady our mind by grounding our attention in the present moment. When our mind is calm, it is fit to look into itself and all of life with more openness and clarity. This clarity leads to insight, which frees us from our own reactive patterns.

Through discussion and periods of silent meditation, we will learn sitting and walking meditation methods, how to pay attention to our breath and body, and how the power of present-moment awareness can touch and transform our hearts and minds.

This retreat is paced to support beginners; it is appropriate for anyone interested in Insight meditation.
