The major goal of the present study was to investigate the effect of Vipassana practices
on older persons’ perspectives and experiences of effective ageing. We conducted indepth
interviews with 15 participants aged [45 to 55 years] who had engaged in
Vipassana activities. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed using thematic
analysis to uncover common themes and insights. The findings show that Vipassana
is linked to better emotional health, better stress management, and a more optimistic
attitude on ageing. Participants felt that Vipassana activities improve their sense of
purpose and life pleasure, emphasizing their potential significance in good ageing.
These findings indicate that incorporating Vipassana into daily activities may promote
healthy ageing processes. These findings imply that incorporating Vipassana into
everyday routines may enhance healthy ageing processes and provide useful strategies
for promoting successful ageing in older populations
