What kind of meditation does Waking Up teach?

Waking Up explores several methods of meditation in detail—from mindfulness and Zen to advanced practices such as Dzogchen-Mahamudra, Advaita Vedanta, and more. But the main focus is Vipassana, where you’re taught to cultivate a quality of mind called “mindfulness,” which is simply a state of clear, non-judgemental, and undistracted attention, moment by moment, to the contents of consciousness.
