Aam Aadmi Party national convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will attend a 10-day Vipassana meditation course next week, officials said on Saturday. He goes for this 10-day Vipassana course every year.
Kejriwal will leave for the course to an undisclosed location on December 19, a day after the winter session of the Delhi Assembly is concluded as per the schedule. Vipassana is an ancient Indian meditation technique in which practitioners abstain from any communication, either by talking or via gestures, for an extended period to restore their mental well-being.
The chief minister has been practicing Vipassana for a long and has been to several places, including Bengaluru and Jaipur, in the past years to practice the ancient meditation system.
All Abouat Vipassana Meditation Retreat
Vipassana meditation is an ancient technique that aims to cultivate mindfulness and insight into the nature of reality. The word "Vipassana" means "insight" in the Pali language, and it involves observing the breath and bodily sensations to develop a deep awareness of the present moment.
A Vipassana meditation retreat typically involves a structured program where participants commit to practicing this meditation technique intensively for a period of time, often ranging from 10 days to several weeks. These retreats are conducted in silence, with participants refraining from communicating with others, reading, writing, or any form of entertainment.
The retreats are held in designated meditation centers, providing a supportive environment for individuals to focus solely on their meditation practice. Participants follow a schedule that includes long hours of meditation, usually starting early in the morning and continuing until the evening, interspersed with short breaks and periods of rest.
