Is Vipassana meditation safe?
I'm interested in doing a training day Vipassana-10 during a retreat (Those managed by SN Goenka) in the near future. I searched for months on the internet about retirement and there seems to be a lot of comments positive people who have attended. If theres been more positive than negative comments, I am little worried about what was written on a certain site Web (vipassana-cult.com - I think). Although I am fairly confident it is not a cult, people have been reported to have experienced hallucinations and various psychological problems after witnessing one of the courses. What I want to know is vipassana is suitable for everyone? There evidence vipassana as links with psychological problems? I'm fairly new to meditation. The technique I use is actually just the observation respiration. That said, however, represses emotions, I would like to try Vipassana (which does not suppress emotions) - provided it is safe.
It depends on your teacher. If he (or she) is duly qualified, then you should be fine. If in doubt, ask your teacher about his lineage, including his guru and paramguru. If he can not answer that question to your satisfaction, performance.
