138. How to Survive a 10 Day Retreat


Listen Later

The road to achieving great mental and physical health can be difficult when our heads are filled with noise!

In that journey, having the focus to maintain hard work and dedication is of utmost importance, but that’s what most of us fall short of. It can only get easier when we develop discipline and start “seeing things the way they really are” – the very definition of Vipassana!

Vipassana meditation is a technique taught at 10-day residential courses. Participants go on retreat in order to learn basics of the method, and immerse themselves in practice in order to experience its benefits.

This is a great method that fosters mental and physical health, but is no means a “magic bullet”. It requires hard work and dedication, and participants are known to drop out of the course. People second guess the program, underestimate the value of it, or overestimate themselves believing they can easily master the course on their own without the difficult challenges.

This begs the question, why go through with it at all? Why bother finishing the program?

A few benefits of the Vipassana Meditation course:

It teaches discipline (which most people lack) needed for achieving great mental and physical health – no books, no cellphones or gadgets, just pure meditation.

You get to eat clean food – plant-based diet is served twice a day in the camp. It’s a great way to kill cravings and manage food instability (like your snacking tendencies).

It’s completely FREE – 1000s of meditation centers across the globe offer the same program, free of charge, to anyone and everyone. These programs continue through the donations of people who finished the course and experienced the extremely powerful benefits.

It took time to build bad habits and it’s also going to take time to replace them with good ones. It’s going to be a challenge but it’s definitely worth it, and highly achievable with meditation retreats.

You can take whichever course you want but when your health is on the line, why not take the proven and effective route that comes free of charge?

What are other benefits of meditation courses? How do you SURVIVE in such unfamiliar environments and methods? How does this work together with my other health and wellness programs?

Check out this episode to learn more about tips and techniques to survive in a 10-day Meditation retreat, and the benefits you come out with!
