My first retreat!Have a look

[sandip250382]

Friends, you will be exciting to know that I have just attended 10 days Vipasanna meditation. I just made my decision on the morning of the commence journey in spite of many personal and family problems. Well. It was indeed a thrilling experience for me. First 3 days, I felt great practicing anpana. Sleep seems to get disturbed from 4th day when Vipassana was first introduced. On 6th and 7th days condition was worse for me. I felt totally insane and depressed (I cried sometime as strange pain emanating from inside) and I have not slept for even a single minute on those 2 days. Very forcibly, I resisted the temptation of escaping from the prison (it seems like that way that time). From 9th day onwards, I felt great serenity within. In short, though it was not very pleasurable for me, yet I learned many lessons of life from this stay apart from the wonderful Anapana and Vipassana. Glad to know feedbacks from all. Happy Metta to all.

What an intense experience Sandip. Now you can take what you have learned and continue to practice at home and deepen your knowledge of yourself.

In the Dhamma,
