About us
Welcome to everyone! Whether you are completely new to mindfulness or have been practicing Vipassana for a while, you are warmly invited to join the Rochester Vipassana Meditation Meetup.
Our group explores deep mindfulness practices rooted in ancient traditions, enriched by insights from Spiral Dynamics to help us navigate evolving values with clarity and compassion. During our sessions, we will learn and practice together using guided meditations from YouTube, focusing on two foundational techniques:
Anapana: The practice of mindful breathing. By simply observing our natural respiration, we develop concentration and calm the wandering mind.
Vipassana: Insight meditation. Building on a focused mind, we observe physical sensations throughout the body to deeply understand the true, changing nature of reality, which fosters deep psychological flexibility.
Join us to meditate, share experiences, and support each other’s journey toward greater awareness and inner peace. Open minds and hearts are always welcome!
