Practice is the act of doing something regularly or repeatedly to improve your skill at doing it. We’re always practising something. This moment is practice for the next.
With Insight Meditation, we’re practising being on good terms with every aspect of our lives. And it's not just something we do on the meditation cushion.

Buddhist teachers often talk about attachment as the root of our suffering. We’re supposed to practise detachment. But maybe ‘attachment’ is the wrong word to use here because in modern psychology, attachment relationships are seen as being healthy. Maybe the words ‘clinging’ or ‘reactivity’ are more helpful words for describing a habit that causes us endless stress and misery.
