I'm wide awake.
I'm going on a Vippassana. I have no idea when, but sometime in my life I'm going to do it. I know they hold them in the United States, but I want to do a real, actual one in India. Basically it's a 10 day meditation retreat. You don't talk, show any emotion, or facial expressions for ten days. The first three are the hardest, you sit in silence, meditate and concentrate on your breathing. It's nearly impossible to have a clear mind the first time you do this, so your mind will wander for about the first three days of this experience. Then, after that, you are ready to go into a deep state of meditation, and the teacher will tell you different things to get you to reach that state. It is suppose to be amazing. I think I really need this to cleanse my mind. Nobody has any idea all the things that go through my head, and the things I can't stop thinking about.
My Buddhism GSI did this a few years ago and said it was incredible. I'm 100 percent serious about doing this. Today was the last day of that class, which is kind of upsetting. It was one of the few classes here that I've really enjoyed. I've never had a teacher so passionate about what he was teaching. Eh, enough about this, nobody really wants to hear about it. Ya'll just think I'm crazy for wanting to go on a meditation retreat. Aw, well.
I can't wait until the fall when everyone is back here. :)
