Hey Bianca, I’m glad you enjoyed the article! Although Vipassana can be a difficult experience and at times I really wanted to break out, however, what I’ve learned is that, self work is hard work but it’s also the greatest work I’ll ever do. I encourage you to try it out and please share your experience with us! Peace.

Thank you for sharing this Marly.
I’ve been thinking about doing this for about a year now, and always imagined myself re=emerging with the same sentiment: “It was some crazy, psychedelic, third dimension, Twilight Zone, intergalactic, mind altering sh** yo!” hahaha!
Then I got worrisome and thought I’d have a mental breakdown after my thoughts led me to confront things I’d rather not. But your article has re-inspired me to give it a try next year.

Thanks Mrs. Jones!! I hope you found the information useful. I highly recommend you check out the California retreat.

Thanks Mom. Hmm… remember when you clowned me the whole way there and the whole way back?! That was my second favorite part. LOL. I’m only able to go on this journey because of your love and support.

Jessica… GO!

Hi Marly
I have to admit, I was pretty nervous after dropping you off that day, and also sceptical. Ten days without talking! not my daughter. I waited by the phone, ready to pick you up. You made it through!!! I’m so proud. I’m learning a lot from you and hope to embark in a similar journey soon.
Love you
MOM

Marly,
All I can say is OMG. I am just at awe with this piece. OMG. I commend you for the desire and even the courage to want to embark on such a journey, the journey with silent, solitude, and self. As you know, I am a Christian meditator and have produced over 23 Christ-centered meditation Cds to help people learn to be still. In fact, I have written a free eCourse titled 18 Weeks to Greater Peace, Joy, and Intimacy with God and I talk about Sacred Silence, Solitude, and Meditation. I have never done a 10-day silent meditation retreat but I will be searching for one in this area and encouraging all my subscribers and people who visit my website to attend one as well. I want to share your article with my subscribers too. Thank you for writing this article, I believe it will help many people. Can you send me more information? Also, please visit my website at http://www.thechristianmeditator.com and sign up for my eCourse. Thank you again. Your article made my day! Blessings!

hi,

Thanks for sharing your experience with us. I too like to do vipassana meditation. Sometimes I sit with music and sometimes without. See while being in vipassana, we don’t need any resource but sometimes my mind is making more noise then I prefer to meditate with a cd called “Beyond Boundaries of Gurumaa”. There is another cd called ‘Odyssey of Love’, on mysticamusic, it’s a record label.

There are other music cds as well which are helpful for various kind of meditation techniques, like to do dynamic, passive, urja, om, mantra meditation, chakra meditation and many more.

Here I am sharing this link you can explore it yourself, and I promise you it’ll enhance your will to sit longer during meditation.
