| | | Vipassana silent meditation retreat |
| | | The main practice of Vipassana consists of mentally scanning one by one each body part and feeling the sensations in each of these body parts. Practitioners are instructed to move their attention down from the top of the head to the tips of the toes and then in the opposite direction in a repetitive pattern, paying attention to somatic sensations. |
| | | |
| | | The instruction for the subject is to keep his/her attention moving and to observe, objectively and with equanimity, the sensations he/she experiences. Given the explicit focus on soma to sensory sensations, this particular tradition of Vipassana is a good example of meditation practice where focused attention and open monitoring are combined. |
