Vipassana For Psychiatrists


Vipassana For Psychiatrists
In psychoanalysis the subject reports his free-associations as they occur and is helped to understand his mental mechanisms. A student of Vipassana also finds himself free associating during meditation. However, psychoanalysis and Vipassana differ in their attitudes towards and interpretations of the material of free-association. In Vipassana, the emphasis is on maintaining a continuum of awareness of somatic sensations and inculcating a neutral attitude of indifference and non-indulgence, upekkha, in the ideational material. In psychoanalysis, the ideation material is welcome. In Vipassana the interpretation is mainly phenomeno-logical in terms of the transitory nature, anicca, illusory nature (creating the illusion of "I" etc.), and binding nature dukkha, of emotive processes of clinging raga, aversion dosa and ignorance moha. In psychoanalysis, the interpretation is semantic and helps to decode the messages from the system unconscious, revealing the universal struggle between various forces.

Goenka. Vipassana Meditation discourse on Day 1.


This is something I thought would never see the light of day. If your familiar with a 10 day Vipassana course then you will remember these video tapes of Goenka. If you haven't done a 10 day sit then these videos may seem a little out of context but still helpful. The uploader(nachitolit) has promised the other 9 days soon. Wow! Glad I'm not transferring 10 VHS tapes to AVI. Metta!
