Mahasati is a form of vipassana or insight meditation which is suitable for invoice meditators and also advanced practitioners. It is done with open eyes in seated, walking, lying down and standing postures. It involves making gentle, rhythmic movements with one's body (hands or feet) for developing continuous mindfulness.
This is a pre-recorded course with 30+ hours of Mahasati practice guided by Nithya Shanti. The practice is designed to bring mindfulness into our daily life. The aim is to be mindful of the activity of the body and mind throughout the day and even at night during sleep. The practice is simple to learn but takes commitment, dedication and persistence to master.
There are over 40 practice sessions in this course with over 30 hours of Mahasati practice designed to introduce you to this inspiring practice. Nithya Shanti, a former Buddhist monk, introduces the practice and guides practitioners through a beautiful journey of awareness and awakening.
If you are interested in starting your Mahasati journey, this is the right course for you.
