Maintaining a regular practice is key to strengthening mindfulness. The Buddha often stressed the importance of the Sangha, the group of people who practice together, for the practice to bear fruit.
For this purpose our meditation center meets online and in presence per practice, discuss, learn and listen to the Dharma.

Vipassana is a meditation technique in the Theravada Buddhist tradition.
Suffering emerges with meditation
Many people who start meditating find that the symptoms they wanted to heal actually 'get worse' and they regret thinking that meditation doesn't work or isn't for them. Instead, it's just the opposite. With practice the suffering of being, which we hide with continuous distractions, begins to emerge and show itself, we become aware of it. The aim is not to get rid of these sensations, but to make friends with them, one of the hardest things in the world but also the bravest road and with fantastic prizes.
We spend our lives running away from what we don't like and holding on to what we like. But in reality this is a recipe that ultimately makes us unhappy because, willy-nilly, we have no control over external events. What we love, by its nature not permanent (like everything), is born, lives and dies and leaves us, while what we hate sometimes parks itself in our lives and remains stationary for too long.
The key to peace
Here she is nature of suffering, but here is also the 'cure'. We must and can teach our mind that you can live with everything and that indeed this is the key to peace, to well-being.
Vipassana, insight (clear vision of reality as it really is and not as a mental construction) develop wisdom, not an intellectual wisdom, but a wisdom intuitive that the mind cannot understand at the cognitive level. Books on Buddhism are an invaluable resource but they cannot be a substitute for practical meditation on the pillow and in daily life.
