What is MIDL Insight Meditation?
MIDL is a systematic way of practicing traditional Buddhist insight meditation (satipatthana vipassana) within your daily life, in a way that gradually teaches your mind to let go.
MIDL is an acronym for Mindfulness in Daily Life. It's about finding a middle balance, or ‘Middle Way’ (MIDL Way), as the Buddha (SN 56:11) taught in the Noble Eightfold Path. The aim is to cultivate harmony through developed skill in calm, wisdom, and morality, within the context of your daily life.
As an MIDL meditator you will learn to find the middle way by neither suppressing nor avoiding any experience, but rather softening/relaxing your relationship towards it to gently let it go.
How is MIDL Insight Meditation practiced?
MIDL meditators use the development of relaxation and calm during mindfulness of breathing as a foundation for insight.
They take an interest in anything that hinders their ability to experience relaxation and calm during mindfulness of breathing to gain insight into their "by-itself-nature" (anatta).
This process rewards the mind with the pleasure of letting go and teaches it to incline towards this pleasure in daily life. By practicing Insight Meditation in this way, attraction and aversion are weakened, and the cycle of self-created suffering in daily life is ended.
