Meditation Two-Step (027)

There are two basic meditation techniques that are taught, Shamata (calming the mind) and Vipassana (Insight Meditation). The second step in the meditation two-step is insight meditation, learning to look directly at the mind itself, not something many westerners have done much of. This audio-blog describes the various techniques, starting with the standard Shamata mediation and progressing to Vipassana and what is called Recognition, being recognition of the true nature of the mind.
