This is a very special episode because it's about a practice that changed my life and helped shape who I am today. Vipassana Meditation is a 10-day intensive course of self-observation in hopes to witness reality as it really is, and in doing so, release impurities of the mind and heart.

I talk about the origin, technique, my personal experiences over four courses, and even answer some Q&A at the end. Believe it or not (this episode is long), I still thought of things I wish I had added later on, and I probably will continue to feel that way, as I recorded this just one week after being released, and so much of the process integrates itself as time goes on.

In this episode I mention the book “The Body Keeps the Score.” I would also like to add “The Untethered Soul” — neither of which are actually about Vipassana but perfectly depict what you are learning through an alternative, yet similar lens.

This is the official Vipassana website where you can look at the description, time-table, precepts, Code of Discipline and other things mentioned in this episode; as well as find centers and courses near you:

Here is the FB Live I recorded after that first sit in Myanmar, as mentioned in the episode:
