Going to a week long silent meditation retreat
    #20350523 -

In a rural area, in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, silent meditation and teaching. Camping the whole time in a tent.

Vegetarian meals only, no alcohol or weed, no cellphone.

I am thinking this will be a really positive thing for me. Its always been on my bucket list, and this is just what I need to restart my spiritual life.

I was sponsored to participate by an anonymous donor. Normally it would have been like 450 bucks but for me its free.

I am excited and grateful.

Just wanted to share. I will write a bit about the experience after.

Thanks!

I am going to be taking powerful nootropics and meditating for several hours each day, also doing yoga, attending Dharma teaching sessions, reading buddhist literature and writing in a journal.

I am curious to see how much spiritual and meditative progress I can make in one full week.

Its going to be really interesting!

I am curious about the combination of nootropics and meditation, as both  have been shown to induce beneficial changes in the structure and function of the brain.

I hypothesize that a combination of nootropics and meditation could have a synergistic beneficial effect.

Specifically I will be taking phenylpiracetam and citicoline.

Hi guys !

I am at Buddhist retreat so I am not supposed to be using my phone but I am cheating :cool:

Hope you guys are all doing well!

I am loving this retreat ! Beautiful place, gorgeous Weather, delicious and healthy vegetarian meals, the Lama is super cool great vibes and a good teacher .

We are camping outside all week but we have all amenities , hot showers etc.

Right now I am sitting in the tea hut sipping organic rooibos and catching up with the shroomery while my phone charges .

Each day starts at 6 AM with a puja - a Buddhist ceremony .

Then breakfast , then at 8:30 am we have the morning teaching from the Lama. He is really great !

We learn about Buddhism, dharma , meditation and compassion and wisdom.

Then I do yoga in the sun , then lunch . At 3 pm we have afternoon teaching , then at 6:30 dinner.

All the rest of the time we do sitting meditation , walking meditation , yoga, reading spiritual books and journaling . :levitate:

It's only day 2 and honestly I feel amazing . I feel happy, calm , clear , healthy and optimistic .

I am looking forward to my private interview with the Lama.

I have been processing a lot of stuff and feeling so much better.

I bet by the end of the week I will be blissed out :bliss:

And my whole retreat was paid for by an anonymous sponsor !

I am so grateful !

After this retreat My wife , my best friend and I are going to be doing an ayahuasca ceremony with an authentic Peruvian shaman !

I am so stoked !

That will be the last thing on my bucket list . In the past few months I have done :

1. First Nations sweat lodge
2. Baptism
3. Crazy road trip to the top of a mountain resort in BC with friends , where I did MXE under a full moon and had the time of my life, and me and my best friend baptized each other (my second baptism  - "once in the flesh and once in the Holy Spirit")
4. Meditation retreat
5. My second ayahuasca ceremony (upcoming)

I am so happy and grateful I was able to do all of this in a short time . I owe It all to my wife , the greatest , most beautiful and amazing woman In the world :heart:



Love and dharma blessings to one and all!

:om:

Actually my wife just came out to drop off some valerian root, Bali Kratom and a phone charger , so I got to squeeze her boobs and kiss her tummy :wink:

That was nice.

Really I would recommend the retreat experience to Anyone.

I will definitely be doing more of these.

Maybe next time I will follow all the rules :lol:

Sounds cool, keep us updated. Just be careful compartmentalizing retreats and other experiences, I think the idea is to bring theses states of beings in all aspects of life.

I agree!

I intend to use this retreat as a launching pad, to firmly establish myself in a sadhana which I can then carry on as a daily practice for the rest of my life.

My intention  going forward is to do yoga for an hour a day and meditate for an hour a day, every day.

I really must say I am benefiting enormously from this retreat.

My mood and emotions are dramatically more positive already.

Just being outside in nature, sunlight and fresh air 24/7 is amazing .

I am learning a lot from the Lamas teachings and also cleansing my body by eating super healthy vegetarian sugar free meals and abstaining from alcohol and marijuana .

It feels so good to be part of a sangha , to have a guru and a sadhana.

Fortunately there is a dharma centre my wife an I attend each week to learn from a lama , practice
Meditation and commune with the sangha .

Buddhism is truly an amazing lifestyle , so rich In functional wisdom, practical discipline and grounded compassion.

This particular lama is an inspiring individual who I see as a great role model.

Each day is divided between puja (ceremony), teaching, sitting mediation and walkin meditation and yoga , as well as unique exercises the lama walks us through.

It is only day 3 and so much emotional burden has already been lifted from me.

I feel happy, healthy, calm, clear and optimistic about the future.

I feel this will be an excellent way to prepare for my upcoming ayahuasca ceremony.

Some day I plan to spend a few weeks in meditation retreat at an ashram or monastery , an another time in a forest.

But this is a perfect first retreat. I am so happy and grateful I was able to attend.

This really is just what I needed.
