"You’ve been hating yourself your whole life to fit in, it’s time to start loving yourself fully to stand out." - Mimi Morrall
What does it feel like to spend 10 days in (kind-of) isolation, in an ashram-like environment, fully present with yourself, in silence, sitting 11 hours a day in meditation? No where to run, nothing to do, no distractions available (like phone, journals, books, religious objects, exercise, people to chat with etc.), no daily obligations, no responsibilities other than to observe the sensations of the body.
Welcome to a 10 days Vipassana meditation course (yes, this episodes tells you all about it).
I am honored to be able to bring to you Mimi’s very honest, raw & vulnerable experience of Vipassana with some beautiful lessons that you can immediately integrate into your daily to bring more presence, acceptance & peace to your being.
Mimi Morrall is an amazing connector & creator, a student of astrology & a fellow podcaster with a fascinating podcasting platform called THE IINSIDE OUT, bringing you some real spicy, activating, taboo topics with depth (& death). She also got me naked on my personal Vipassana experience (& a lot of other juice around that), so if you're curious what kind of (golden) shiet was coming up for me, hop onto her podcast (links below).
Key ASSplorations of this conversation:
what is Vipassana meditation & course, what is the point & how do you know if this is for you;
the beauty of the mundane & the sacredness of simplicity;
how to be with what is, even when it’s uncomfortable (a state of equanimity, non-reactivity, no judgement, the impermanence of life);
running away & going into denial VS staying present, allowing the experience to move through you;
being met with confrontation & conflict + approaching it from a place of safety within;
labeling/overly identifying ourselves with certain emotions or experiences;
the mystical connection between the mind & the body (experiencing extreme body sensations, pains, anxiety, body image/body shame, heat in the body that are connected to emotions flowing through);
being enslaved + controlled by our cravings & desires VS presence & gratitude for what we have.Stalk Mimi: https://www.instagram.com/mimimorrall/
