Sati Meditation incorporates rhythmic bodily movements to cultivate awareness of the body and the mind. This ultimately leads to direct and profound understandings of the origin of and the liberation from suffering in human experiences. Sati Meditation is a form of vipassana (insight) meditation introduced by Luangpor Teean Jittasubho (1911~1988) of Thailand. This unique form of meditation is especially suitable for today!|s society because experienced practitioners can practice the meditation in their daily life.
