- A simple and effective guided Vipassana (insight) meditation designed predominantly for beginners with plenty of guidance. Starts with Anapana (breath awareness) to establish awareness, followed by a guided part-by-part body scan focussing on the changing nature of the physical sensations within the body.
Practice everyday, preferably once in the morning and once in the evening, to experience observable and lasting changes in your life. Enjoy!

October 31, 2023 one of the best guided meditations - such a soothing voice to support this journey. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this wonderful quiet and quieting meditation. I just recently discovered Vipassana meditation and found this type to be so soothing like no other type I have tried. It makes me feel so at ease and strengthens my inside to make the day ahead a good day. Danke!
It does doesn’t it? Keep trying and see where it takes you, it’s a wonderful path 🙏🏼
great one!
this was excellent. my body is constantly tense, this was almost like a pain pill
Thank you Alison! When you learn to connect with your body and the sensations you experience, it is a natural pain pill - better than any actual pill ever could be 🙏🏼

Day 12: ✔it was very relaxing and came out of a very stressful day with so much ease after the practice
Day 13: ✔it was anxious and painful and couldn't complete. Many unpleasant thoughts and didn't know how to 'unfollow'them. I can hardly see any progress with my practice but am glad that am consistent.
Day 14: Done ✔️. Heavily distracted, still managed to put together and sit for 20 mins. No experience with the meditation yet. I either don't know what to expect from meditation or I probably way behind to experience meditation yet!
Day 15: ✔️

Day 23: ✔
Day 24: ✔
Day 25: ❌, it was very painful though I tried thrice to sit and practice. For some strange reasons, I was not able to sit more than 4 mins. Hence I didn't do.

What a great ambition and goal, looking forward to hearing more about your results! Please keep us updated 🙂 and don’t worry, your experience so far is completely normal. Some days are up, some are down. You just stay on the path, it is about what you learn about yourself on it.
@@canyouzen Your reply means a lot😍!! Thank you for this wonderful channel! Would appreciate if I get reply on the experiences that I post at the the end of 48 days!

I always feel that I am controlling my breath
Hi there - I recommend you read my post on this here 🙂: canyouzen.com/how-to-breathe-naturally-during-meditation/
@@canyouzen Thank you for your response.I am not sure I understand. I recognize I am controlling my breath, I accept that I am controlling my breath. I observe myself controlling my breath. I observe my frustration that I am controlling my breath. Now how do I let go and not control it?
@@scribecasey I did a 10 day course and this drove me crazy! Also asking for advice, the response wasn't touching the problem.
Here's my answer, speaking from a modern western therapeutic perspective:
Yes, you are indeed controlling your breath.
Our breath is a direct connection to our subconscious and our feelings. Years of being exposed to life and all its circumstances leads to us (consciously/ subconsciously) controlling breath. We learn very early as children that slowing your metabolism by reducing respiration (less O2) will lessen the intensity of the emotion felt currently. Many chronic muscle pains or cramps are such learned and conditioned reactions of us in order to keep going ... And they occur in "emotional centers" (chest, belly throat, pelvis) ... As we are taught emotions are to be kept behind a mask, to not seem weak.
Letting your vegetative nervous system take back control over your breath while being conscious is an emotionally challenging thing! Because many of the emotional buffers and hard shells will be broken by the power of "natural breath" and it's likely to be overwhelmed with feelings. Thats something i would have loved to be part of the teachings... I'll leave you with an excercise i found helpful:
Take a deep breath, then breathe all the way out. Hold for as long as you can. And a bit longer. The strong urge to breathe, this reflex or impulse, that's the vegetative nervous system chiming in, the source off the mysterious "natural breath". You can play with this.
Breathing out is just the relaxation of the solar plexus, just letting go basically. I often find myself controlling the air going out. It's just an initial letting go, the rest happens by itself.
Do you control your heart beating? It's all taking care of itself
Thank you. Please can you explain why I feel I was dozzing off in between the meditation. Is it ok ?
Hey Meena - a totally normal and very common reaction to meditation! Happens to a lot of people - just need to keep trying, increase your efforts. The tiredness will pass away at some stage. As a basic first check, ensure that you are getting enough sleep at night! Hope this helps 🙏

Without 10 days residential retreat this type of shortcuts don't help. Technique is very pure and extremely demanding whether it's physical or mental. For betterment of people we must develop in technique nd share the contact details of the center.
Thank you for your wise words. You are right - without a 10 day course, it is difficult to progress far in Vipassana. Many viewers who watch this would have already completed a course, and are here for motivation. For beginners, let this be a stepping stone to a much deeper and committed practice. I believe that every minute spent in meditation assists one on the path, no matter what path a student eventually decides to take.
@@canyouzenDear CYZ,
True every one is free to take the meditation as they want. But if master of the technique has warned each and every time that this technique should be taught in proper way, like Sheel, samadhi and panna (pragya).
And if I want to leave on people to choose then I can share Mini anapan meditation of 10 minutes. If I say that I know much of this technique and I can teach then the root of the start is started with ego. And I know how to spread it in better way.
One person asked Mr SN goenka that how to become a teacher of Vipassana?
Answer: First become a good pupil of the vipassana then organization has the proper process for the teacher's appointments.
@Can You Zen For someone who for health reasons cannot attend 10 days this is very helpful. Thank you, and know that I have been practicing this for a year twice daily for 20 min, and this has changed my life. I think you should know the impact you've had, and I am grateful 🙏
It’s Purification of Mind! Perhaps read William Hart’s book - The Art Of Living, and then do SN Goenka ten day retreat. Dig deep. Who I am now being, is the possibility of Awakening for myself and other survivors of brain injury and aging: Gold Mind Meditation Project.
Thank you for gifted guidance, Vipassana (Can You Zen).
Namaskar!
I can't focus on sensations through the session. My attention diverts to thoughts... Will it change with practice?
Hi Ritu - that's completely normal for everyone - you will have both 'good' days and 'difficult' days but your overall trajectory will be positive. Just concentrate on being aware of what is happening in your present reality - lack of focus, notice this and be ok with it...distractions arising, notice and be ok with this. Also try to apply mindfulness in your daily life, you will notice a big change 🙂wishing you well 🙏
But this is not Vipassana
Then what is Vipasana?
Shud be silent. Annoying hearing voice ….how can u concentrate …I wish teachers would be quiet once meditation starts
You can try the more advanced sit, it has longer silent periods!
