10-day Silent Meditation Retreat

I am so excited (and a little bit scared too)! I am getting ready for my second 10-day silent meditation retreat. I am leaving tomorrow and will be returning on February 10.

The meditation technique is called Vipassana, which means to see things as they really are, and is one of India’s most ancient techniques.

I am not going to India though. There are centers all over the world now and I chose the one in Texas because of the perfect timing with my husband’s ski trip with the guys in Europe (the warmer weather in Texas is a big plus too!).

The first time I was initiated to Vipassana was 4 years ago and I remember being amazed by the experience. It wasn’t easy. Like you can imagine, it requires hard and serious work.

During my stay, there will be no reading, journaling, or talking, not even connecting with the eyes. I will be essentially alone with myself. So, there won’t be any new post to my blog next week and the next one will be on February 12. Stay tuned! I’ll be telling you everything about my 10-day silent meditation.

Until then,
Lots of Fun and Joy for you!
