*VIPASSANA: (’seeing things in their depth, the way they really are’ ) is one of the ancients meditation of India.It was discovered by Siddharta Goutama the Buddha, the Enlightened, 2.500 years ago. In Hindi at the time of the Buddha, ‘’passana’’ meant ‘to look, to see with open eyes, in the usual way’. On the other hand, ‘Vipassana’  means to look at things as they are in reality, not simply as they seem to be. For about 500 years humans forgot about its existence, it was with Goenkka J. that Vipassana was definitely back in India and Birmania and then spreaded around the world as the greatest simplest technique of meditation. Vipassana meditation is the way to change oneself through self-observation. When this truth is finally experienced, it will be easy to not react blindly, not to create more negativity, and consequently to gradually eliminate the old negativities in a natural way. Practicing Vipassana you will train and gym your mind to be extremely sharp, calm and attentive. ​You will be able to focus and recognize all the sensations of the body, the sattle and the grand ones, with the awareness of EQUITY and IMPERMANENCY. Training your mind to NOT REACT anymore, you will finally get rid of all the negativity and all the cravings based in the roots of your innerself, not in the surface, but deep in you! Bringing this mindfulness in every day life, you should be able to live in the harmony of peace, compassion, tolerance and pure love, for you and everybody around you. Vipassana is a universal way that can be practiced by anyone.
'You must be the change you wish to see in the world’ -Mahatma Gandhi
