Ajahn Brahm conducts an intermediate/ advanced meditation class for approximately one hour. Ajahn Brahm explains that all the different meditation methods, i.e. anapanasati (breath), vipasanna (insight) and metta (loving kindness) are about learning to let go of as much as you possibly can. When we let go, we feel light and peaceful, and that is when our meditation starts and continues to develop.
