Welcome to your journey into calm & insight.
"There is a case where a meditator has developed tranquillity in tandem with insight. As they develop tranquillity in tandem with insight, the path is born. They follow that path, developing it, pursuing it. As they follow that path, developing it & pursuing it, their fetters are abandoned, their obsessions are destroyed." Yuganaddha Sutta Venerable Ananda AN 4.170 ref : Access to Insight
MIDL (Mindfulness in Daily Life) provides a systematic way of practising traditional Buddhist Insight Meditation (satipatthana vipassana) in your daily life. MIDL takes advantage of the disturbances and overstimulation that are part of living a normal life and uses them as a foundation for both calm and insight. When vipassana-insight & samatha-calm are developed in tandem through intentional letting go, much of the dukkha (suffering) experienced by insight meditators due to disenchantment ceases, due to the mind having a place of safety to return to, within the calm-abiding of mindfulness of body. In this Insight Meditation Course, you will learn to find the middle way in your insight practice, by neither suppressing nor avoiding any experience but rather softening your relationship toward it.
