My first 10 day Vipassana Meditation Retreat experience.

My first 10 day Vipassana Meditation Retreat experience.

Ten days meditating, 4:30am – 9:30pm. No distractions, No communication, no technology, no writing, no yoga, no luxuries or comforts. Just you, nature, and the mind.

Finding stillness and teaching the mind new ways to handle memories, beliefs, pain, and expectations was definitely a challenge. I went into this challenge without even thinking about it. “10 days of silence, that sounds like a fun, difficult, and interesting experience, I’m up for it!” I thought. A test of determination and willpower it most certainly was!

As someone’s whose faith feels more like an erratic, changing, vast and dynamic ocean; amidst a storm. I can sense how supportive and centring it must be to have a mind that doesn’t question their beliefs or faith. How strong and supported one must always feel!
