"Be still, and know that I AM God." Silent Meditation: improves heart rate variability (HRV)�→ which regulates the brain�→ which balances the autonomic nervous system�→ lowering stress�→ supporting relief from anxiety + depression Vipassana goes to the depth level of the mind where the mental defilements reside at the root level. Training you not to react to craving things that you want or aversion to the things you don't want. Less reaction. More presence.�and ultimate freedom. I sit twice a week for an hour in my online community as well as live in person every Sunday here in Phoenix. Visit: #dhamma.org for a 10 day course in your neck of the woods. Vipassana is nonsectarian, no dogma or intellectual ideas, no rights or rituals, just sitting with the reality AS IT IS (not as you'd like it to be) = TRUTH.
