“Real wisdom is recognizing and accepting that every experience is impermanent. With this insight you will not be overwhelmed by ups and downs. And when you are able to maintain an inner balance, you can choose to act in ways that will create happiness for you and for others. Living each moment happily with an equanimous mind, you will surely progress toward the ultimate goal of liberation from all suffering.”

– S. N. Goenka

In EP 003 of Inspired & Empowered I shared the following Zen saying:

“You should sit in meditation for 20min a day. Unless you’re too busy. Then you should sit one hour.”

I get it now.

It only took doing a 10-day meditation course where I sat for 10hours a day in meditation.

Don’t freak out.

It wasn’t torture. Albeit it felt very uncomfortable for the most part, but by Day 4 sitting for 1hour without making any major shifts in my posture was not only possible, but quite doable.

I couldn’t wait to share my experience with you because I’m going to tell you right now, I want YOU to experience Vipassana Meditation for yourself and enroll in a 10-day course NOW. I’m not kidding.

If you’re wondering what you gift yourself this year, I can’t think of anything better than doing this course. It is no doubt one of the best things I have ever done and I am so incredibly grateful for the opportunity and the tool I now have to practice with for the rest of my life.

Sharing my experience may influence you, but only YOU can make the choice and take the steps needed to enroll. Don’t wait years as I did. Other meditation techniques will “feel good” on the surface, but Vipassana will show you how to go deep and see reality in a whole new, beautiful, way.

The TEDTalk below is also a beautiful testimony of the power of Vipassana.

“Buddha was asked: “What have you gained from meditation?”

 

He replied: Nothing! However let me tell you what I lost: anger, anxiety, depression, insecurity, fear of old age & death.”
