Noting / Labeling Vipassana Insight Meditation Dharma Talk

A short 12-minute Dharma talk that covers the radically simple but incredibly engaging form of insight/vipassana meditation called "Noting" Meditation. This style of meditation has been around since the time of the Buddha but has only recently in the last century regained popularity.

I feel interested in "the dark side" as I took a Goenka Vipassana course and the noting was a big part of the initial practice.

Hello Silas! I love your unique investigative attitude, your're one of my favourite teachers on Insight Timer. That was an amazing explanation, I'm definitely eager to know more and of course I'd like to participate in another course from you!

Hello Silas. I would be interested in a 30 instruction on insight meditation. Thanks.🙏🏽

I would appreciate a 30 day course if you can take the time!

Love the in depth teaching and interested in a 30 day class

Nicely presented concise and useful .Thank you.

Thank you Sila. I’m interested in studying vipassana meditation in order to improve my practice and share my experience with others as a meditation teacher. Do you have any course or could guide me in this journey?

Thank you Silas. Very clearly spoken and I was able to easily listen on a meditative way. Please do put together a course on the path, the light and dark experiences, etc.

Thank you for the Instruction and book suggestion! I would very much be interested in a course on this! 🤗

First time I have heard of the noting technique. I’m looking forward to practicing. I’d be interested in a class too.

I really enjoyed this talk. Explained the technique very well. I look forward to more. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you. I will explore this practice further. Excited to dive deep. Blessed Be.

Thanks. Really enjoyed this talk. Will attempt to incorporate the noting/labelling in my daily practice and also look forward to the 30 day course that you mentioned.

Well presented. Metta!

Thank you. I enjoyed the talk and tried the meditation. If you will have a 30
day course on Insight meditation, I would enroll.

Thank you. I am looking forward to do the 30 days 🙏

Thank you
I would definitely do a 30 day course 🌻

Wonderful dharma! The way that you described noting helped it click for me like never before. I’d absolutely participate in a full 30-day Path of Insight series. I have limited access to a sangha so having Insight Timer act as a virtual one is so beneficial for me. Thank you for this talk.

Thank you for this very clear and well paced talk about noting and labeling. I’ve had a practice for many years and I found your instruction helpful.
I would be very interested in a 30 day course with you.

Thank you Silas. I have practiced noting for for periods of my practice over the years. I also include an intention of trusting my inner-self to note for me when my mind strays, distracts, takes over etc (which is most of the time). I have found that in doing this and placing that trust internally that I can be more mindful during times of stress or shock despite my mind discombobulating and that it has also been helpful if I misplace or forget something, I can call upon my internal self (that I have entrusted to note everything) to prompt me to ‘note’ where i left it - this is not necessarily a remembering mind process through backward cascading but usually a feeling or sensory or perhaps dream prompt. Not sure if I have described that very well.
I’d be interested in the 30 day course you mentioned.
