Guided Meditations

Welcome to the practice

This is where you can pause, breathe, and let go - one moment at a time. The guided meditations are designed to help you reconnect with your body, release emotional tension, and return to presence.

You don’t need any prior experience or knowledge, you are welcome as you are.

What Do I Actually Do in the Meditation?

Contrary to how it might feel at first, Vipassana is actually an act of doing less. You slowly learn to let go and allow the reality of this very moment to be as it is, instead of resisting it - like we all are so used to do. For now, you can follow the guidance given on the meditations, and it will become clearer with time what it is that we are actually "doing". You may also present your questions to Kjell Erik for clarification.

What is Vipassana Meditation?

The meditation technique we mainly work with is called Vipassana. It is rooted in early Buddhist teachings, especially the Satipatthana Sutta, and developed as a core practice within the Theravada tradition, emphasizing direct insight into the true nature of reality. The word itself translates to "insight-meditation" and the quality of mind it cultivates is clear, non-judgmental, undistracted attention to the content of consciousness, both the pleasant and unpleasant. Often loosely worded as "mindfulness" today.

Vipassana meditation is about being present in this moment, specific to this particular method is to be with the physical sensations of our body. Paying close attention to and recognizing what is already there in the body, without pushing away the unpleasant or grasping at the pleasant. Through this practice, we begin to observe the impermanence of everything that arises within consciousness: sensations, thoughts, emotions, and even identity itself. It is the quiet art of resting in presence itself, where eventually, inner peace becomes effortless, and the ordinary reveals itself as stunningly beautiful.
