Vipassana Meditation Timer
Vipassana - meaning "clear seeing" - is one of the oldest Buddhist meditation techniques. It involves systematically observing body sensations with equanimity to develop insight into the impermanent nature of experience. Standard Vipassana sits are typically 30 or 60 minutes. Use Timefully's segment feature to include an initial Anapana (breath awareness) warm-up before transitioning to full Vipassana observation.
