Vipassana Meditation: Finding Stillness in a Noisy World
Skulle du kunna tänka dig att lämna ifrån dig mobilen och datorn och sätta dig och meditera, helt stilla, i timslånga intervaller, i 10 dagar? (Would you be willing to give up your phone and computer and meditate, completely still, for hours on end, for 10 days?)
Imagine spending ten days without your phone, computer, or even a book. Could you handle the silence? In this episode of 'Yoga Radio Sessions - Yogapodden', psychologist Gabriel Richert takes the plunge into Vipassana meditation, a practice that demands complete stillness and silence. Joined by yoga teacher Christian Wigardt, they discuss the profound impact this form of meditation has had on their lives.
Richert shares his journey to a ten-day retreat in Ödeshög, where he faced the ultimate challenge of sitting still and quiet for hours on end. Wigardt explains how he incorporates Vipassana into his yoga sessions, highlighting the deep connection between meditation and physical practice. They explore the benefits of disconnecting from our tech-saturated world and the importance of mindfulness.
If you've ever wondered how to integrate meditation into your life or are curious about the silent retreats you've heard about, this episode offers a candid look into the transformative power of Vipassana. So, grab a seat (maybe even a white plastic chair) and prepare to meet yourself in stillness.
