1. VIPASSANA MEDITATION

2. INTRODUCTION Vipassana is a Pali term and it means insight, to see things as they really are. It is a scientific technique to explore the laws of nature (called Dhamma), within the framework of one's own mind and body. Also known as ‘Insight Awareness’ or ‘Mindfulness Meditation’.

3. The technique of Vipassana is a simple, practical way to achieve real peace of mind to lead a happy, useful life. Vipassana means “to see things as they really are”, to see things in their true perspective.

4. HISTORY It was rediscovered by Gautam Buddha more than 2500 years ago and was taught by him as a universal remedy for universal ills i.e., an art of living. Vipassana is a very ancient meditation technique of India, laudatory references to which are found even in the Rig-Veda. In 1969, Mr. S N Goenka of Myanmar came to India to teach vipassana meditation. In 50 years he has introduced vipassana to thousands of people world wide.

5. Goenka , 1980, says that the direct experience of a mental-physical phenomenon within one’s own self, this technique of self observation, is what is called Vipassana meditation. Vipassana is to observe things as they really are, not just as they seem to be. Vipassana is a technique of self-examination, a scientific method of self-observation that results in total purification of the mind and the highest happiness of full liberation.

6. It is a logical process of mental purification through self-observation. In this meditation the mind is a tool to get closer to the reality. Vipassana will lead to liberation

7. THE MEDITATION CONSISTS OF THREE SUB-UNITS: 1- Anapanasati (Mindfulness of breathing) 2- Vipassana (Insight meditation) 3- Metta Bhavana (Universal love and compassion)

8. 1-ANAPANASATI: In Buddhist meditation, it means 'mindfulness of breathing' ("sati" means mindfulness; " ānāpāna " refers to inhalation and exhalation), Anapanasati has been used as a basis for developing meditative concentration. It has a quietening effect for bodily and mental unrest. Anapanasati is most commonly practiced with attention centered on the breath, without any effort to change the breathing. The practice of focusing one's attention helps in improving thinking capacity, retention power and aids in brain development.

9. 2- VIPASSANA: Move your attention systematically from head to feet and from feet to head, observing in order each and every part of the body by feeling all the sensations that you come across. Observe objectively; that is, remain equanimous with all the sensations that you experience, whether pleasant, unpleasant or neutral, by appreciating their impermanent nature. Keep your attention moving. Never stay for more than a few minutes at any one place. Do not allow the practice to become mechanical. Work in different ways according to the type of sensations you experience. Areas of the body having different gross sensations should be observed separately by moving the attention part by part. Symmetrical parts, such as both arms or both legs, having similar subtle sensations, may be observed together simultaneously. If you experience subtle sensations throughout the physical structure, you may at times sweep the entire body and then again work part by part. At the end of the hour relax, letting any mental or physical agitation subside. Then focus your attention for a few minutes on subtle sensations in the body, and fill your mind and body with thoughts and feelings of goodwill for all beings.

10. Awareness and equanimity are the two main aspects of Vipassana meditation which help us to deal with all types of situations in life effectively. Vipassana meditation purifies the mind by developing positive qualities like wisdom, peace and harmony. 3-METTA BHAVANA (MAITRY BHAVANA): It is universal love and compassion for all the beings. Loving kindness is unconditional love which means just well-wishing, wishing the goodness, the wellness of ourselves and of other beings and not expecting anything in return

12. TECHNIQUE/PROCEDURE PREPARATION: It should be a quite place, it should not be recreation/attractive place causing the mind to be unsettle or easily bothered It should not be far or close to a village or a community It should be full of shades of trees. Air should be easily ventilated, not too dry or humid.

13. There should be no reptiles or pests. Accomodation facilities and things for living should be enough available such as meals, medicines, etc., There should be a meditation master who is a good moral conduct who has sufficient knowledge of Bhuddist scriptures and experience of vipassana meditation and is sophisticated and able to advice right method of meditation and balance the faculties of meditator.

14. 2. PRELIMINARY STEPS: Sit in any comfortable posture, close the eyes focus on breathing. Observe how air is going in and out of the body. Slowly start observing other aspects of the body, various thought will cope up in your head and distract you, but don’t let them stop you. Gently focus each time your thought tend to wander.

15. As you go on like this, your focus will become sharp and you will build a strong base for vipassana. It is very much important for a person to observe only on breathing pattern before starting of vipassana meditation.

16. DISCIPLINE FOR 10 DAYS MEDITATION COURSE The Six precepts. Not to kill. Not to tell lies.(Refrain from bad speech) Not to cheat or steal. Not to take intoxicants No sexual misconduct. No outside contact (outside world) , no mobile ,walkie talkies, pager, laptop, computers, books, Walkman or news paper. This is a very serious and intensive course.

17. NOT ALL WILL BENEFIT !! Just like a physical training in a Gym, everybody’s life is not going to change, it depends on your efforts, determination and seriousness to change yourself. Say a 1000 children go to school ,How many will come first in class? just one or two, How many will have some interest in studies? just a handful.

18. BENEFITS It helps the people to make love one another, making them feel unity and to feel compassion towards each other and also to make them a greatness and appreciation when they see other joy full. To bring about a better standard of human behaviour

21. RESEARCH’S A study of the effect of Vipassana meditation on Psychological Well Being of employees and impact of demographic factors on meditation outcome Objectives of the study: There is an effect of Vipassana Meditation on employees’ Psychological Well Being.

22. CONCLUSION The result on PWB was in consonance with the research objective and validated the use of VM as an intervention. As validated in this research and in agreement with available literature, experience in meditation strengthens and enhances psychological well being. The results suggest that meditation experience significantly contributes to PWB and in turn to meaning in life. Since maintaining a sustained positive work ethic and harmonious atmosphere at work is predicated on the PWB of employees, practicing VM may foster overall business growth.Furthermore , it can be concluded that businesses that wish to improve employee team work, reduce work place conflicts, and employee goal congruence may adopt VM as an intervention strategy.
