Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 січ 2016
- Little slow at the start. Just getting back into talking :) Wanted to capture this moment coming out of the course.
Here's the link to the exact course I took. If you have any questions about it or my experience please ask and I'll be happy to answer them. www.dhamma.org/
This is so awesome, meditation is amazing. Glad you shared your experience. Seeing the change in your talking during the course of this video is AMAZING!!!
You exude Presence. :) It is so charming to see. The spaces between your words speak more than the words themselves. Now you know how to find peace within. You need never lose that. Thank you for sharing your joy, my friend. :)
I can feel the smile in your eyes from the first five seconds- made me smile
You know he’s gone deep :)
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us!
I didn't ever watch your videos before, so I don't know what you used to talk like, but you seem really clear-thinking, and really comfortable with silence. Most of us don't pause as much in mid speech, and fill any gap with words or "um". It's really calming to listen to you talk - maybe because you are calm and at ease as well. I've been considering Vipassana for a while, and I'm going to go sign up now. Thanks again for taking the time to share with us and open up. It's always nice to put a face/personal story to an experience that is otherwise full of the "unknown".
I'm excited for this journey!
Thank you for this video my friend! I can’t wait to attend. God bless in your spiritual endeavor!
Thanks! You are so peaceful, calm and collected. Excited to try this. Keep on! 🙏
Please do a follow up video and tell us how it has impacted your life
This is how I look when I come out of my meditation lol good for you! you did the right thing for yourself. bless. thank you for this video
I have to say Vipassana changed my life. It was so tough at times. I too at points thought I could not get through this. But I stuck at it and I am so glad I did. I did mine in Cambodia and the person that went in was not the person that came out. I think we all have issues deep inside of us and Vipassana helped me to identify some of them and taught me how to breath again. I would like to see more people do this as the world would be a better place if we all knew how to breath.
May all beings be happy. :)
:) I feel the same. A different person when I came out but still the same. More understanding, calm and patient. I would like to see more people do this too. Much benefit from it for everyone in my opinion. Thanks for commenting :)
Great video, thanks for sharing. Starting to plan for my vipassana retreat in Thailand or somewhere as well. Very excited about its potential to deal with depression, anxiety and other mental illnesses.
Om Sabbe Satta Bhavantu Sukhi Tatta! May all beings be happy! Thank you for this excellant and Compassionate teaching. Homage to the Buddha,Dharma,& Sangha! Bodhi Swaha!
I'm going to that one tomorrow bud. Thanks for your video! You look Zen bud! I'm happy that it gave you so much!
I remember watching your review right before my first sit 6 months ago. Now up to 2 sits and 4 serves. Much metta my man
you look calm.
Great video content! Apologies for butting in, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you considered - Marnaavid Unexplainable Intervention (do a search on google)? It is a smashing exclusive guide for learning how to hack your flow state minus the normal expense. Ive heard some great things about it and my best friend Jordan finally got astronomical success with it.
Amazing! I did 2tines of 10 days and practicing since 20 years. I have the same words of you!!!
Open to all to get transformed!!!
Thank you for your experience. You were wonderful. Seriously thinking of participating in one of the groups.
Dope man thx for the confirmation. Your my favorite "fisherman " youtuber even inspired me to start my own channel. I've been trying to meditate on a regular basis and I am in complete shock to see you have already been down this road.
I knew you were a real one lol .
Thx for leaving your imprint 💯
I start this week. I am an American guy, living in Poland... I used to live in Thailand. I think this experience is extremely important in life. Thanks for your video...
I just watched it...your eyes said it all...
my partner went kitesurfing to
Sri Lanka for 9 weeks. And suddenly decided to do the course there...I was (still am so astonished). His personality has been always so black and white. He is a very good and honest person but tormented by his anxiety - some desire to strive better and better for his family. He understands that work is not something he should be anxious about so this part is ok.
He started his 10 day course yesterday....i am happy for him but feel so anxious as I would love him to benefit from it to feel happier in life....i watched your video and you touched me very deeply
Sounds like heaven. I love meditating. I’ve been meditating for about 10 years. I’ve done personal retreats. And a no talking one for a week. But I’ve never been able to do at that degree or with no others around...
I am applying to attend my first one soon and I am intending that I am chosen. I am looking forward to stepping beyond the noise. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Great to hear your story man! I really want to give it a go and see what it offers me.
thank you for sharing. you look so serene. I find that exciting. i'm thinking of going to the course in sweden
Thanks for the video! I am going in 10 days :). Cannot wait!
I just sent in my application to attend this course in October. Fingers crossed...looking forward to it.
I'm taking one this year! Just waiting for the list to come out and planned on doing the exact same thing when I got done. Thanks for sharing!
The way you talk is the best commercial for the retreat .
Awww so nice and cute to hear your sharing , so happy to hear these feeelings
You have a beautiful personality dude. I just finished a session which I don't usually do.
Thank you for your video. Very helpful. I am looking forward to do it. :) Thank you
Hi Matt! Thanks for making this detailed review, I'll be doing the 10 day retreat in 2 days.
Glad to hear you were able to get something out of it:)
+Vegan Vibes Good luck :) It's intense, but I don't have any doubt you'll get something rewarding from it. If you have any questions or are confused about anything don't hesitate to ask the teachers! Being clear about what you're doing will help you progress a lot in the technique
Thanks! Sounds like sound advice. What was your main reason for going? I'll be sure to make a quick review video too:)
+Vegan Vibes I heard about the course years ago and always wanted to participate in one. It was good timing with my schedule too and yeah, so happy I went! I can find peace much easier :) Goodluck! ... you are bound to be successful....bound to be successful.
It's crazy how you can feel his vibe through the camera.
Hey man thanks for the info, I started watching your videos because of surf fishing last week. And I was scrolling through some of your older videos and I saw this one… It inspired me to do some research and I found a facility in Joshua tree California. So today I signed up for a 10 day course in May. I can't wait thanks again for posting the video.
+Louie Cobarrubio That's amazing. Makes me happy to see a video of mine lead someone to look into meditation. It's a tough experience but extremely rewarding. It will stick with you for a long time if not a life time. Quite an experience. It may be difficult in the beginning, but stick with it and you will get something out of it. Best of luck to you :) I'd love to hear how it goes once you're back too
hey can you give the review
What was your experience like? Did it change your life significantly in any way? We'd love to hear about it :D
His voice is so calming
Respect! I have watched many videos on Vapissana and your video is pure and we can see the effects it had on you without not even knowing anything about you.
I am undergoing a decision to go. Soon, very soon.
Thank you for the video
I started crying watching this video. I'm not sure what this meditation is and how you do it, but something about your voice speaking about it hit my emotions.
You're such a beautiful person 😩😍♥️
Matts, here what u have done is a noble deed. Your expressions speak for themselves in the video. I congratulate you for sharing such a near true experience of Vipassana. I had thoughts to start, its happening on 21 sep near New Delhi, India. After watching your video, n specially the near true experience you have brought, I find it easier to say a yes. God knows how my body n soul react to it when I hit the deck!, but for now I feel I should do it.. like mark twain has said it, "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did so. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."..................... Matts, I see Mark's words true thru ur Kaleidoscope and I will come back with my real experience for other viewers to utilize. Thanks again, Matts you have been phenomenal in keeping this as least polar as possible. Peace Bro.. May you succeed n turn around a few lives around you. Take care. Peace Bro.
Thanks bro. Wish you the best of luck in anything you decide to do. Not sure how many lives we have or what happens after death, but I sure want to seize these moments and make the most of life while I can. Peace bro
Thanks; all my questions were asked and answered when I reviewed this video's comments! Wait, one more question. What are you doing in the months following to stay zen? -w.
It’s like you’re leaning to talk again! You look amazing 💓💕💓
You look so peaceful, you're beautiful : ) Thank you
Thank you for sharing your experience, I'm doing mine next Wednesday in UK 🙏🏼
How’d it go?
thank you man for your insights. My course starts end of february :)
Good luck man. It's quite an experience. Not easy, but rewarding afterwards. If you have annny questions about what you're doing or anything make sure to talk to the teacher during the hours. Better to have a clear mind and understanding so you can get the most out of your experience :)
Super helpful! I'm doing my first this week!
I will go to rishikesh for this bec it's near my home. I have seen change in life of my friend. Good video.
Thanks, Lord Buddha for introducing this Vipassana meditation to us.
Speed 1.5 after you see how calm he is. Peaceful. Blessings+ Love
I have just applied to one of these In Albert I hope I make it . You sound like you had a great experience. I'm nervous about the sitting still for 2 hours that tonight be difficult.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
Awesome video, thank you. Peace, brother.
Oh man, you are adorable. I am going back for the 2nd time in a few days and I can totally relate to everything you said. I also just recorded a video about my first experience. I'm so stoked to go back and see what I learn this second time. Also... still scared though. This stuff is hard AF
I really m impressed with the way u shared ur 10 day vipassana course experience.....much metta.
Hi, I just watched your video. I've been planning to go to a retreat for almost two years now. And I'm finally starting it on the 1st of March. Can't wait. I've been practicing a meditation and using some other tools for a while now and I noticed many changes in my every day and emotional and personal life.
I feel like it's the right time for Vipassana :)
I am so interested in your experience now after a year since you finished your course. Have you been practicing it since you came back?
Thanks.
All the best.
Sunny
Tnx for such a nice explanation...everything is impermanent...may all b happy.
thanks fro sharing. finally Im ready and Im gonna do it. I hear about it in 2011.. Now Im finally ready, and my course start next 19 to 39 july.... yuhuuu
ahh july 39 my favorite date haha just kidding. best of luck go kill it!!!
Thank you! I just want to add that the course is donation based. It can be "Free" but donations help the centers to continue to provide these courses. May we all be happy!
So calm.. Beautiful
Found this video by chance and I'm happy I found this one. This peaceful look is what I would like to have as well when I am done with it. Going as well end of January.
I have just one question to anyone that has done it. Can you go back to work next day after coming back from vipassana?
You can, many people do. Usually retreats end on a Sunday so most of the participants go back to work on Monday. It's not easy, you have to take it slow.
U seem like u just found the essence of life 😊
Congrats on your experience! Just a tiny caveat: unfortunately, not every mental problem can be solved with vipassana, and the rules even explicitly discourage the attendees from coming if they have a major mental health problem (because in all likelihood such a person will start digging into themselves, freak out and break down). Not saying vipassana is not available to such people, but a 10-day course might not be the riight thing. Cheers!
Great report man I need to do this
I'll be doing the course in Melbourne Australia tomorrow 😊
How did it go??
Fisherman's Life I just finished the course today. It was amazing. Totally worth the time. Thinking of doing the course next year again 😉
thanks! that was my experience too.
So I cough that San Francisco part. I used to attend The Insight Meditation Center in Redwood City ,CA. Just curious where exactly was the vipassana retreat you took at? Check out now I'm in Chicago and I'm taking a retreat in Wisconsin soon
Satu Satu Satu! This clip vedio! It like you telling people who naver tryed the test of salty. How it test like. They will not understand unlest they can try salty themself. It quite hard. Ha! But I like your telling honest feel. Remind me good exprience too. Your karma will protect you! Even how good of the meditation power and knowlage you get now but remember not thing last forever. Every thing bron and dead. Even religion even your feeling. One day that you lose it. The mind that has been particing before will smart eoungh to remenber of this feeling agian. Cheer up on you!
Its funny, been looking at the different experiences with retreats on here. The negative ones I've seen haven't finished their courses. This is my best advice for people going to a retreat. Finish the damn thing. Its only 10 days. Going for like 6 days for example would be such a mistake.
@fisherman’s life
What made you take the Vipassana course. Please share a little personal information of what you were going through and what you hoped to get out of the course.
I just finished the 10-days. I got home and now I'm feeling very overwhelmed and lost. The noise around me is so loud and I feel like I had forgotten everything I learned in the last 10 days!
I need to find my balance and equanimity.
Does anyone have any advice for me?
I know how you feel! It is overwhelming to get home after being in such a sanctuary for almost 2 weeks. I went on my first course a year ago and when I got home I didn't even know what to do. I didn't want to get sucked back into the trance that the majority of people are in (me included), caused by unconscious lifestyles and all kinds of overstimulation, mainly from media.. I had a hard time feeling comfortable being on my phone, watching series and movies etc, because I knew that the unsatisfiable craving for more would come back - and it did.
My advice is to keep doing the daily recommended practice of 1 hour in the morning and 1 hour in the evening. I gradually stopped my practice and I regret it every day. The benefits are truly incredible and I can't wait until my next course. Keep it up and you will adapt just fine. And well done for completing your first course! :)
What if you fall asleep during the day?
Buddha bless all of us.
Namo Buddhay
I am heading to a six-night Vipassana meditation retreat in a couple of weeks. I see that this video is from quite a few years ago. Do you still find that you call on the things you learned during your retreat in your every day life? Thank you for the video, many blessings.
You look very peaceful....
then. dark night of the soul.
Yes! I had a dark night of the soul... I'm still on it ten years later. Meditation retreats can damage some people.
@Wesley Lubbe It depends what came up for him. Severe trauma, dissociation, psychosis, anxiety, existential crisis? There are charlatans who will claim they can fix your friend! Sadly, even registered professionals can be awful but it's your best chance. Terms worth googling are Dark Night of the Soul or Zen Sickness. If you contact the course leaders they'll probably not help. A psychologist could help the most I think. Mike
@Wesley Lubbe Yes, the break-up wouldn't help, however it's more likely that lots of stuff buried deep down inside him surfaced. Meditation is like digging deep down in your garden, you might end up purifying the soil by finding and removing weeds or you might find all manner of unpleasant things that you didn't know where there. I got very severely burned myself... still recovering so many years later, but some people will mend more quickly. Tell him I'm thinking of him, and of course it's difficult for those who know someone suffering. Best wishes. Mike
I'd recommend treating meditation like weight lifting... build up slowly. Meditate 10 minutes a day to start with. Go for quality not quantity. Some people say push on through but I think that's potentially negligent. Some meditation places now insist people have meditated for a few years as a beginner first. They don't allow novices. Avoid the spiritual ego. Self-compassion. Good luck.
Hey bro that’s a really nice video👌😊
Sadhu sadhu sadhu.
All that you said just came out from the heart.
I’m not judging or anything but i went through your video and then went through your channel, if your still following the precepts, practicing, and on the way to nibbana, one of the precepts is Non killing🙂.
may lord buddha blesses everyone with lot of happiness and joy.
im doing this march 1st. Can't wait!!!
Good luck! :) Hope you get alot out of it
Being calm doesn't mean that you have to take forever to form sentences
This person in this state is so attractive.
Exactly my thought. The guy seems at peace, calm, happy and very relaxed.
Yesss
I'm glad you didn't punch the wall......, blessings....
I’m tryna be on this level
I start tomorrow dude I'm stoked
goodluck brother
I'm back bro it was awesome. Went to the center in GA. Overall it was hard, enlightening, and rewarding. I haven't really got to see the effect its application in life but I felt some positive vibes today for sure. I wanna go back soon. Like a couple months. I had the flow but overall I kinda feel like I just got started. Definitely glad I did it.
Diddy Gator what Is the name of this retreat? I stay in Alabama and this sounds like a close one for me. Can I email you about it?
+justin scott www.patapa.dhamma.org/ there you go brother. They stay booked up like 3 months out pretty much always. I got lucky and scored an opening the day before a class when I went. nice place and if you're in Alabama it's way closer than anything else.
Diddy Gator thnx man I should've looked before I spoke haha, already signed up for the February 15th course.
I want to believe in meditation. Is it really so great? I just feel like I cant do it
Is waking up at 4 o clock not too difficult?
U look happy good for you
Hi I really want to go there...but wanna know it will really help me or not to come out of my bad habits and from my past...as I'm becoming very arrogant n short temper...so I really want to overcome out of it
grat time...how is ur telling when u don of 10 day...ur life will be change ..try to do it every day... I love it I like it. .yes no talking so hart to do right
I went twice, great course
:) nice !
wonder if there is one in B.C
Dude omg lol You look like you're in a trance!
Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu
Be Happy 😊
May all beings Be Happy ,Be Peaceful Be Compassionate Be liberated Liberated Liberated
Do you have ways to connect with you on social media for questions ?
Matts…did you go to this retreat and make this video after your initial diagnosis? I can’t imagine how frightened you must have been. ❤️
🙏🏼 Namaste
Be happy☺
the only thing that worries me is sitting...I am scared that will I be able to complete
Sitting was hard for me too because I have knee problems from playing basketball. After the third day the pain was too much and I asked the instructor for a chair. After that everything went excellent. If you can't sit no matter how much you try, you can always ask for a seat. Do whatever to make yourself comfortable so you can get the most out of the experience! :)
Good reminder. Permanent damage to knees is PERMANENT ! Be happy !
How can it show you why your depressed? Or anxious?
I start tomorrow thanks
Long term implications? Still practicing??
eating only raw food its emotionally/mindly very similar I think, and could be a good combination
after attending the course will able to...love my family again...as I have start hating them...bcoz of some reason
This man is so enlightened that he forgot to tell us about his epiphany!
