How does Vipassana help us

💐 How does Vipassana help us to stop tying new knots and to open up the old ones, eradicating all the accumulations of the past? 

Ans : A meditator should sit correctly nisinno hoti pallankam abhujitva ujum kayam panidhaya cross-legged and erect. 

Then he sits with adhitthana (determination), no movement of the body of any kind. 

Now at the grossest physical level, all the bodily and vocal actions are suspended so there can be no new physical kamma (kayika-kamma) or vocal kamma (vacika-kamma).   

Now one is in a position to try to stop mental kamma formations (mano-kamma). 

For this, one has to become very alert, very attentive, fully awake and aware, all the time maintaining true understanding, true wisdom. 

🌷 Aware of what? 

Anicca vata sankhara, uppadavaya-dhammino-the truth of impermanence; the arising and passing of every compounded phenomenon within the framework of one's physical structure.
