Hi. I am doing a solo meditation retreat assisted by modafinil.

The technique is fire kasina.

The aim is 8 - 20 hours a day.

So far today I have done 2 hours. Its 13:37 here.

Day #1

It's been 8 hours. (Of practice)

I am gonna spend the rest of the day just meditating of my eye lids on the bed. Instead of on my chair with a candle like I did for 8 hours .

Nice, eight hours is a sizable amount. Keep it up.

Bravo!!!!!!❤️

All my support and love to you brother. Go for it!

This is the quality content I look for in the spirituality subforum. Thanks for doing the real work and inspiring others.

Be disciplined in the retreat and remember the biggest hindrance: distractions. Otherwise, relax into the practice and let it be as a river from heaven flows through the world. Concentration and Relaxation united make for perfect meditation.

People with narcolepsy take modafinil every day. It's a well tested chemical with a low profile risk.

So it's not something to be seriously afraid of but just reasonably cautious not to overdo it and leave months after the retreat of no use.

Actually, not a doctor, but if you're taking antipsychotics, it might be worth checking for possible contraindications and other considerations. Also, as beneficial as retreats can be, intensive meditation can sometimes be destabilizing. Something to take into account.
