What is MIDL Insight Meditation?
MIDL (Mindfulness in Daily Life) is a free systematic insight meditation course designed for meditators wishing to practice traditional Buddhist Insight Meditation (satipatthana vipassana) within your daily life, that gradually teaches your mind to let go in all aspects of life giving rise to frictionlessness and complete harmony.
MIDL is an acronym for Mindfulness in Daily Life. The MIDL Insight Meditator seeks to rest in the middle balance, or ‘Middle Way’ (MIDL Way), as the Buddha (SN 56:11) taught in the Noble Eightfold Path. The aim is to cultivate complete harmony of heart & mind through developed skill in calm, insight, and morality, within the context of daily life.
As an MIDL Insight Meditator you will learn to find the middle way by neither suppressing nor avoiding any experience, but rather by observing and softening/relaxing your relationship towards whatever you are experiencing to gently let it go.
How is MIDL Insight Meditation practiced?
MIDL Insight Meditators use the development of samatha relaxation and calm during mindfulness of breathing as a foundation for vipassana insight into the hindrances to relaxation & calm.
By taking an interest in anything that hinders their ability to experience relaxation and calm during mindfulness of breathing, they develop insight into the anicca (impermanent) and anatta (autonomous) nature of their mind and body, thereby training their heart & mind to let go.
This process of calm and insight yoked together, rewards the mind with the enjoyment of letting go, and teaches it to incline towards this enjoyment in daily life. By practicing traditional Buddhist Insight Meditation in this way, attraction and aversion are weakened in daily life, and any cycles of self-created suffering come to an end.
