Know Thyself: A Snippet of Wisdom From My Vipassana Journey | #621

After my last episode, where I shared my experience of returning to a 10-day Vipassana retreat for the second time, I felt drawn to share something different. This comes from episode #267, when I first discovered Vipassana meditation. I shared the teaching behind it: why we react the way we do to life's difficulties, why the usual ways we try to find relief don't fully work, and what really does.This explanation is based on the teachings of S.N. Goenka, the teacher who established these non-commercial Vipassana meditation centres around the world. I felt this piece deserved to stand on its own, so here it is, exactly as I shared it back then.If you want the fuller story, my own personal experience of that first retreat, you will find it in episode #267:https://personaldevelopmentmasterypodcast.com/267Send us a textSupport the showSubscribe to our weekly email: https://personaldevelopmentmasterypodcast.com/email---A personal development podcast for midlife professionals, offering mindset tips and practical tools for personal growth, self mastery, personal mastery, and purposeful living.
