Mindfulness meditation focuses on being present in the moment and cultivating awareness of sensations, thoughts, and emotions. Vipassana or insight meditation aims to go beyond by delving into insight and understanding the nature of reality. With this method, you practice self-observation by focusing on your inner self in a nonjudgmental way. Like other forms of meditation, Vipassana is beneficial for both your mind and body. Body scanning is one of the most effective ways to begin an insight meditation practice, the purpose being to tune into the body to reconnect with the physical self, noticing any sensations and feelings without judgement. Using Vipassana to achieve total body relaxation is known to: decrease blood pressure, ease chronic pain and muscle tension, increase energy and mental health as the relaxation triggers a favourable parasympathetic response in the nervous system. With a little practise, this method helps you to tune in more easily to your body's signals and demands so you can understand and work with the body, thus benefiting and improving your mind-body health and balance.
