Sati Meditation is characterized as "dynamic" in contrast to the more conventional techniques of "static" meditation. Sati meditation incorporates rhythmic bodily movements as a way to stimulate and develop mindfulness/awareness. This practice is regarded as a way through which the body and the mind are harmonized. This harmony is the first step to "seeing" thought and is the foundation of the path towards enlightenment.

Luangpor Teean often told practitioners that it is very important in meditation not to suppress thought. Otherwise, though we might find some happiness, we will be unable to see the nature of thought. Thought is the root of greed, anger, and delusion -- the three defilements of a human being. In order to overcome greed, anger, and delusion, Luangpor Teean suggested that we cannot simply restrain them by keeping precepts or an established discipline, nor can we suppress them by maintaining calmness through some form of (non-vipassana) meditation based on concentration. Though these activities are useful to some extent, we need to go to the root of the defilements. He taught that we should let thought flow freely and let awareness see (vipassana) thought and break through the chain of thought and go against the stream of thought. In order to do that, we should properly set up the mind and strengthen mindfulness/awareness through rhythmic bodily movements, one movement at a time. If one persists in this practice, wisdom will arise in an orderly process, level by level. These levels in Sati Meditation are a series of experiences by which the mind progresses step by step towards the end of suffering. Luangpor Teean discovered these experiences which now serve as guideposts for the practitioners of Sati Meditation.

Buddhist Association of the United States (BAUS) located in Carmel, New York, has been sponsoring Luangpor Teean’s Sati Meditation since 1989. This form of meditation was introduced to BAUS by Dr. Tavivat Puntarigvivat. While working on his Ph.D. degree in the U.S., Tavivat was also dedicated in presenting Sati Meditation to the general public. In 1992, he initiated the program of inviting Sati Meditation masters from Thailand to the BAUS. So far, the BAUS has invited Reverend Khamkhian, Reverend Thong, Reverend Dha, Reverend Maha-Direk and Achan Khemananda. Most of them have already been invited to the monastery twice. They stay in the monastery for a period of about 3 to 4 months to lead meditation retreats.
