Vipassana Meditation: A Cure Tool (II)

By Elkin Arriero


The existing master of Vipassana, is Mr. S. N. Goenka was born and grew in Burma, a land that fortunately was in a position to learn the art of his master Sayagyi U Ba Khin, a senior government official in his time. In 1969, Goenka moved to India and started teaching Vipassana meditation. Since that time he has taught this art and has improved the lives of masses of people of all races and communities of East and West. In 1982, his followers began to help publicize the Vipassana method somewhere else on the planet in a few Western countries, particularly in the U. S..

Vipassana Meditation Practical Exercise for Noobs

Attempt to psychologically visualise your stomach (not your eyes), the target of the exercising is to be conscious of the movements produced by your belly every time you breathe and exhale air. If from the start you are not sure how the movement is, then place both hands on your stomach and feel it lowers and raises every time you breathe. After a short while you will notice the downward movement of exhalation. You might be able to mentally visualize the movement of the gut at the exact same time it is happening. In this exercise you'll learn to learn how they actually happen up and down movements in your abdomen. Don't consider the shape of your abdomen, what you actually need to understand is the bodily feeling of pressure that causes movement of the abdomen.

For noobs this is a very effective method to develop the faculties of attention, concentration and contemplative vision. As the movement moves on practice will be clearer. The facility to know as they happen each physical and psychological processes, in every one of the 5 sense organs can only be got through the development of inner speculation. Given that you are an amateur and your concentration and attention are still feeble, you may have difficulty staying mentally centered while manufacturing every move, then remember this is a process of learning and as you practice the strategy you will monitor every day.

Continue these exercises with full consciousness of the movements of rising and falling of your abdomen. Not verbalise the action of "up and down", just be conscious of the movements. Nor breath to rush the movement is more marked, this causes fatigue and interferes with a bit of practice.

Keep in your brain these 2 movements, which are always present in our lives, but we aren't always aware of them.
