for the slow, click the arrow at the bottom of the page.

this this about a lady who records frequently her experience with a 10 day meditation retreat.  it is utterly fascinating to me.

if you don't know what a vip retreat is, it's spending 10 days in silence, can't talk to anyone, with i think 30 mins a day of lectures from the main teacher.

some go mad if they are in silence for long periods of time, and people have snapped going to these retreats.  that may sound scary, but it can lead to immense transformation of self-awareness.  i read that one person got stuck out of their body and couldn't move, and had to have the teacher use a technique to ground the person to their physical body.  if you experience that, you can become a teacher, or something along those lines.

Lol, I thought she did a good job expressing herself when she was going through the hard time meditating and she started saying she hated herself. Sitting in silence for 10 days diffidently has to bring stuff to the surface.

Thanks for the post :smile::ooo:

Her questions at the end of the retreat are very appropriate, and when the answers come, more questions will arise.
