10-day silent meditation retreat experience 🧘‍♀️

Transcript

so I just spent the last 10 days meditating in absolute silence for 12 hours a day can you tell I'm in a bit of a post-grad crisis imagine no talking no eye contact no phone no writing no physical exercise sitting with your thoughts all day every day my first three days were especially hard it felt like I couldn't sit still I kept fighting I wasn't used to sitting cross-legged for hours I was thinking of a million different things and I nearly fell asleep in every 4 AM meditation session on day three I wanted to scream I wanted to sing I just wanted to hear my own voice slowly ever so slowly it got easier got better at the meditation technique and my focus on my breath improved it was all worth it because day nine was one of the most transformative days of my life I don't know how to describe it but I could feel the sensations in every single inch of my body I could feel all these little vibrations everywhere I just felt so light I was able to sit for over an hour without moving a single muscle these difficult things came up from my past that I was able to work through with strength I can't wait to tell you what I learned
