My Experience: Vipassana Meditation 10 Silent Retreat

In the beginning of November I set out to attend a Vipassana Meditation 10 day Silent Retreat. While there, spending many many daily hours attempting to put the techniques we were taught into practice, I had a constant 'narrator' in my brain trying to memorise all the important parts of my experience, so I could share with you after. The call to make this video was so big that only after putting all the ideas into paper, I gained some peace of mind and emptied out my brain. We are not allowed to write or be on social media or event speak during this retreat. A lot of time was spent in my head and some time was spent trying to sense my body, just like the techniques teaches. Anyway, the video is a bit long but hopefully you will enjoy it and find it useful. 

I would love to hear from you! Have you been to one? What was your experience? Are you thinking of going to one? Does this video help making your decision?
