Informal Ask Me Anything about Vipassana Meditation

Hi everyone, recently I completed serving at a 10-day Vipassana course after having done a few courses myself over the past decade. Some of you expressed curiosity when I mentioned about it. So to satisfy your burning questions, I decided to create this AMA activity.
I provide the space and unlimited tea/coffee. You are invited to bring snacks and nibbles :)
If you’ve never heard of Vipassana, it’s a meditation technique taught over 10 days:
In silence - no tech, no speaking, no eye contact with others.
Non-sectarian, nothing to do at all with organised religion.
It’s actually very scientific (not woo-woo or “zweverig”)
Grounded in the body sensations
Personally, it’s helped me to untie mental knots and has improved my physical health, relationships and work.
I’m creating this activity now, not with the intention of “recruiting” you. I just want to share, for those who are interested or curious, my direct personal experience.
DOs:
- Be curious and open about your own view
- Respect the confidentiality of each other’s personal sharing
- Be practical / concrete / straightforward about what you want to know
DON’Ts:
- Ask me to teach you the technique - you can best learn this with the right guidance in the 10-day course
- Compare with or condemn any other technique/religion/belief
- Turn this meeting into a philosophical discussion
CONFIRM by sending me a DM with your Whatsapp number and Protected content you want addressed (so I can prepare).
