Using Qigong exercises to relax the body and focus the mind, this meditation helps participants notice whatever body sensations, thoughts, perceptions and emotions arise from moment to moment. Vipassana meditation involves fluid attention to what is actually occurring, both internally and externally, without trying to change, judge or analyze it. A practitioner aims to observe consciously whatever happens, neither grasping nor rejecting any particular stimulus or experience, thereby freeing themselves from habitual responses.
