Thank you ! great episode

i attended vipassana meditation , i was there for two days i think but i couldnt continue as i got suicidal thoughts as i was battling love failure, i will try again some other time..although the guides insisted me to continue as it is expected in the initial days, but i couldnt

if you listen at 22:59/23:00 you could hear the electric energy passed to mic and you could hear the sound of it

Soo.. not 100 hrs straight?

You guys ate lucky you didn’t have a psychotic break down , ego death so abruptly like that has side effects . 🤪 Thats why we need to ground big time as we go through this shift of consciousness we are going through now, it took me years to integrate my awakening back in 2008. But I am 71 years old now, you young ones maybe are born up graded 🙏

Hinduism is the way of life it's the ultimate truth 😎✨

I did Mr. Goenka's 10 day course. I guess having done TM in the distant past for 3 years solid, this Vipassana was not so hard. I did it to see if an old man could have a spiritual experience. Yes. I found this technique impossible to do back at home. Too BORING ! Same as why I stopped TM: BORING. Both techniques work fine, just not much understanding was imparted. Now with more understanding, including that understanding is not it, I've found other techniques that take as little as 25 minutes maximum. See Emerson Non-duality on YT. www.youtube.com/@EmersonNonDuality/videos All the best.

I did it in June. Lots of physical pain sitting so much. Effects on the mind were incredible. Such ability to concentrate. I’ll be back

Never thought that I would listen to this video completely most probably skip and watch or watch another one but watched till the end somewhat similar to your retreat but it only took 40Min. Good job guys and thanks I am really motivated for this Vipasana. I have a question, did you ever listened some sound while you meditate if yes how long did it took to stop??

Guys your content is amazing. This channel will grow far!

Brilliant and honest again. Cant believe this video only has so few views. Keep going with your great conversations.

Hey Bros, thanks so much for sharing your valuable experience! I myself did a lighter version of this, five days with three times meditating a day and not speaking. I can relate to everything you mentioned! My question to you: how do you sit and how do you handle your legs when they tingle and it becomes unbearable to keep sitting ? I still struggle with this… Thanks 🙏🏻 and namaste from Amsterdam

I love that i am brutally honest with myself even when the truth about whatever i am thinking on can be crippling. I think that taking responsibility for shifting a negative mindset to positive and cultivating self love is one of life’s most important endeavors. Thanks for the conversation gentleman. Much appreciated!

Gonnaji is spelled as; Goo-Yen-kaa. Thank you for sharing your experiences. Very inspiring. 🎉

Anyone can practice Meditation. But this can be safely practised only with a genuine Enlightened Master. As one steps into the unknown. Or else one can get disillusioned and got wrong understanding about that vastness that exist inside us. Only very very few Enlightened Masters live on this earth today. Only very few has attained the peak of human consciousness.

With you until you got to the burning legs. I have been in meditation centers which don't force physical suffering of the sort where the body is already damaged beyond repair, and such suffering can result in amputation. It seems that spiritual teachings always go a step too far, and then they destroy. Extremism is an addiction. This process is already extreme. We are in a body for good reason. Nobody brought you here except yourself, from the spiritual vibration. The black and white-ness crosses a line. For example: writersforensicsblog.wordpress.com/2009/10/20/guru-on-hot-seat-sweat-lodges-and-heat-stroke/ Please pull yourselves back. Not every soul is the Buddha who died from food poisoning, knowing the food was bad but who, having committed to eating all food gifted to him - crossed the "stupid" line. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/096777200501300208 Becoming a guru to others involves huge responsibility.

There is only Oneness. 🤍🙏🏻🤍

Great video! Best video about vispassana on You tube!

Amazing video. One of the best I’ve seen on the experience as so clear and relatable.

"You never keep what you want even if you get it." - Wow. What a powerful realization.

Mike & Nick... THANK YOU for this awesome video. Very inspiring! I did my SIXTH ten-day Vipassana course at Fishkill, NY, this past June. My experience: 1st time was brutal. I wanted to leave. BUT, the BENEFITS I got afterwards, OMG.... and SO, I returned for Course #2 the following year. EVEN BETTER!! (the results!) The MORE you put into it, the MORE RESULTS you will get. (Frankly, I was a pretty horrible student my 1st course!) ANYWAY, I want to say that it was my SIXTH course this past Summer that made me TRULY understand what I was doing, and I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT! (first time). I can NOW sit and meditate for 2 hours without moving and LIKE it!! (it's a MIRACLE, bc I am one of those ppl that always had 500,000 thoughts going thru my head in like an Hour, much less a Day!) ....THANK YOU for sharing your experience! You guys will motivate alot of people to TRY it! Yay!!!! --- Cynthia currently in Staten Island

Great video. Loved hearing about the journey

Amazing. Thanks a lot

Do they have these meditation retreats in Canada?

Thank you for creating such outstanding content! I’ll spread the word-much appreciated! Besides the major cudos you guys properly deserve, I’m writing because I’ve developed a theory and framework suggesting that breath awareness (Ānāpāna) represents an advanced stage of meditation. This model posits that the most effective tactile input for anchoring awareness comes from neutral, high-impact sensations. During waking hours, the brain processes two primary sources of data for awareness: 1. The Five Senses, which provide real-time input from the external and internal world. 2. The Default Mode Network (DMN), which governs internal unconscious mental activity, including self-talk and mental imagery tied to the past or future. The brain operates like a computer, continuously processing data. To remain rooted in the present moment, one must engage the three most dominant senses simultaneously: Look, Feel, Listen. These action-oriented terms encourage active engagement, unlike passive labels such as "sights," "sensations," and "sounds." In each moment, conscious effort is required to activate all three modalities concurrently. Breath awareness is considered an advanced meditation technique because it offers minimal conscious data from the senses, which allows the DMN to dominate. This aligns with the principle of highest impact. For example, it’s easier to notice the sensation of someone pinching you than the subtle brush of a shirt against your skin. “Got a headache? Let me stomp on your foot, and you’ll forget all about it.” This principle also demonstrates why high-impact tactile activities-such as massage, acupuncture, exercise, martial arts, and even sex-naturally cultivate presence. These activities generate strong, immediate sensations for minutes at a time that anchor awareness to the present moment. For this reason, focusing on high-impact sensations like the pressure of your feet on the ground or your bum against a seat is more accessible than focusing on the subtle sensation of the breath. These sensations are also easier to maintain awareness of while speaking or listening to someone. This discussion is crucial because breath awareness is the most widely taught and practiced form of meditation. However, because it is often practiced with eyes closed and relies on subtle sensory input, it often results in an "all-or-nothing" endeavor, potentially alienating many practitioners. Here’s how this framework works: imagine awareness requires 100MB of data per moment. Sensory data and DMN activity compete to fill this bandwidth. If, for instance, you’re walking to your car without consciously looking ahead, you are actively hearing birds, but are not feeling the sensations of your feet as you walk, you might be processing only 10MB of sensory data. The remaining 90MB is filled by the DMN, flooding awareness with unconscious mental activity tied to the past or future. In this state, you’re essentially on autopilot, disconnected from the present moment. It’s like driving to a destination and realizing you have no memory of the journey-you weren’t truly there. This means that in order to form a memory of experiences, you must be consciously aware of what is happening. Awareness acts as the bridge between the present moment and the encoding of memories, ensuring that what occurs is fully registered and integrated into your mind. Astonishingly, a widely-cited study found that people spend nearly 50% of their waking moments in "Lala Land." Vision, as the dominant sensory modality, plays a critical role in anchoring awareness. Up to 80% of conscious data processing in the brain is attributed to visual input, with nearly half of the brain’s real estate dedicated to it. Wide-angle viewing-taking in the broader visual field-enhances the intake of sensory data, grounding awareness more effectively when not in a hyper-focused task. This is why meditation is best done with eyes opened. I’ve written a book detailing this framework because many individuals suffering from chronic emotional and psychological conditions are not benefiting from traditional breath-awareness practices. This is something I’ve experienced firsthand, and I’ve conducted a small study that supports this observation. If you bros or anyone here is interested, please feel free to email me, and I’ll gladly send you a free digital copy. To the Power of Now! Keep up the great work!

Maybe modern drugs also could give that experience. Buddha also tried all sorts of meditations and he noticed that all meditations were not giving permanent peace, once meditation is over he became back to where he was. Then some random trick made him enlightened. it was like a glitch in the matrix. Glitch has fixed now so have to seek new methods.

What a delightful chat, gentlemen!

This is amazingly described. My spiritual journey/kundalini awakening has definitely forced me to get a taste of what you are describing but hearing you guys talk about this in such great detail intrigues me to give the whole thing a go to get even deeper. Would love to find one near me if possible.

That was really interesting. Well done.

Doing this since 20years...u guys take a short driver lesson...lol...nice❤

1:48 Gautama was born about 2,500 years ago. 500 years before the birth of Jesus.

Really love this type of conversations<33

It’s nice to see the humility in this podcast. I can see you guys doing plant and earth medicine experience reports and darkness retreats🕳️🐇

Step above it. Except everything as you deem it is. You change what is, by being indifferent to a new reality, not the one you observe. You must not wish it is different, but see it as being different already. Not easy, but doable with practice.

This dosent sound at all to normal Vipassana meditation retreats... I`ve been to many and usually it is few hours of sitting meditation but then it is also walking meditation, karma meditation and upon that monks come to talk to you.. Where was this?

even if you start sitting still one day a week without any distraction this will have a long-term changing effect on your life

pre sure thinking causes aging lol

i’ve heard many don’t even make it thru the whole vipassana lol .. wholeness & balanced vibrations to you, yours & ours brothers

Vipassana practices and enlightenment, is what all religions are pointing too but unfortunately lost there practices and also is full of dogma. Vipassana, Zen practices is in all religions if you look deeply and they are pointing to the same thing.

Did it in Bodhgaya India a few years ago. Best thing i ever did, highly recommended!

Great job boys, it’s amazing to hear about this as it is.

Meditation is intended to be done without food and water breaks. 10 hours a day, isn’t 100 hrs of straight meditation. 🙏

As I recall, Gautam Siddhart went to lots of gurus & learnt lot of things before he sat under a tree.

Let me clear this ... What u doing was not medication

These 40 minutes taught me for about spirituality than any book ❤

Siddharyha was not a guy from a wealthy family, he was a prince.

it’s hilarious how you find Buddha’s journey to enlightenment so amusing when sitting through even three minimal days of Vipassana seems like a Herculean task for you. The level of dedication Gautama displayed it is to be revered upon .. Funny how you even feel qualified to talk about him, let alone make fun of him. (And no, I’m not a follower of Buddha or any religion, but I do find your attitude quite funny-not in a humorous way, though.) And its funny how you find your teacher’s accent funny. Ever stopped to think how your own accent might sound downright hilarious to others? Your mouth is simply trained to pronounce words in a certain way, and yet you’ve somehow convinced yourself that your way is the correct way. That, my friend, is genuinely funny to me. Maybe it’s time to sign up for a few more Vipassana sessions-not just to survive them but to gain a little clarity. Who knows, you might actually understand what you’re saying one day! :) (Oh, this one’s for the guy in the black T-shirt-whatever your name is. The other guy, at least, seems to show a bit more gratitude for the free wealth of knowledge you wanted that Goranka so generously shared.)

Gautama was a prince whom his father had grown him up with A luxurious life so that he couldnt taste suffering but when he saw people suffering and old age an death that what spark his spiritual journey
