First long retreat

3 posts in this topic

Hi

This May I completed my second vipassana course which was quite a frustrating experience. Yet two weeks after I have booked a 30 day Adveita Vedanta course on the other site of the globe. 

How was your first longer retreat and can you offer some pieces of advice you'd give yourself before undertaking this journey?

 

Cheers,

Daniel

Hi! Could you elaborate your second vipassana experience? What was so frustrating about it?

Basically I had a very, very hard timing focusing and staying concentrated. Started at day 6 afternoon and went on until the course had finished. Had an interview with the assistant teacher who told me that was a good sign. Sankharas manifested in restlessness and monkey mind. That definitely helped me reframe the experience.
