COULD YOU BE TOTALLY SILENT?
I LOVE to talk ! but I am seriously considering this meditation course. They are all over the world and you can go for a number of days and spend your time meditating and spending the time in silence. No phones, no talking, no communitcating, it is ran as a charity on donation basis only. Why on earth would I want to spend a week in silence? As hard as it's going to be I think it would be the most amazing way to reconnect to myself and go within without any distractions from my external environment. Has anyone tried this and what were your experiences?
what you seek can be found in the sounds, in the noise, in the busy thoughts and also as the busy ness. The silence will point you a little.. but there is a more direct way i would suggest, then go to the silent retreat and meet it again there. eveyone seeks this.
Oh yes I totally agree it’s why I don’t meditate but try to constantly integrate and find presence but I do find the phone a huge distraction and I would love the chance to get away from it for a bit complete cleanse
I have several friends who have completed the course, and all of them loved it and said it was life-altering.
Do it :) you will need to confront likely emotions and memories from the past... Then transmute that energy into Power you can use, if you choose. I teach Reiki meditation and yoga, and it has changed my life!
Oh surely there can’t be any more emotions to transmute 😂😂
It's always and forever!
I think it's a great idea and opportunity for quantum healing & growth. I am interested in spending a week like this during 2018. I appreciate the inspiration & info. Gonna look further into it & either attend or implement something similar on my own.
Much Love & Reiki Blessings.
am still trying to find more details as the website doesn't work too well here is their facebook https://www.dipa.dhamma.org/courses/code-of-discipline/
they have several locations over europe and the world I believe
Thank you :)
My only experience with silent retreats is one that I did with a friend last autumn. We went to a cabin on a secluded island and spent three days there. During one period of 24 hours we didn’t communicate at all with each other or the outside world. Already that short period of staying totally silent made me realized many things about myself and about my subconscious.
Another friend of mine went to a 10-day silent retreat in Thailand. He told me they were not allowed to make eye-contact or talk and they could not write or make notes. No literature or music was allowed. It sounded pretty violent for the mind actually in my ears and I don’t think one needs to put oneself in a situation like that. He had for example been unable to decide wheather or not a thought he had was from a dream or from reality and kept looping on that for quite some time.
I believe that silent retreats are very good if you do it with the right knowledge and intentions behind the experience.
Yeah I think it’s similAr to these ones lol I just feel drAwn to the experience and maybe to do a phone social media internet cleanse most of all
I’m sure it is a good experience, you should go for it! Doing a phone/internet/social media cleanse is a very good idea :)
Thanks for the info
