    Hey Sharol. Thank you so much for sharing your incredible experience. I have recently finished my first 10-day course and I feel blessed to have discovered this path.
    Watching your experience has only made me more determined to continue on this journey and to practice with discipline so that I can go for my next retreat.
    Thank you so much. Sending lots of good wishes your way on your incredible journey. Truly grateful for this. ❤

    You inspired me very much. I saw your Video on 6th August 2024. You seem like a daughter to me. You are very lucky you got into this Dhamma path at this young age and you have enough time to scale up and become liberated. God bless you. I am 63 years of age and I came to know about Vipassana just two months ago and I attended a 10 day course recently and practicing at home on daily basis and wish to attend further courses one by one as and when I become confident and eligible mentally, physically and as per the technique permits me. 🙏

    Hi there Sharol. Nice video. I have been bathing in your happiness and enthusiasm for 20 minutes. I was surprised that you mentioned chanting before breakfast. I hadn`t heard that before with the Goenka courses. And what you have said here about the anapanasati and vipassana time division makes total sense. This part actually really helps me see how the long courses work. I`m booked for a 10 day with them in December and feel super blessed to have the opportunity. I`m not new to practice but have recently felt a very strong urge to commit more deeply. I`m a little nervous that I won`t be allowed to bring headache tablets with me as I can get a problem with headaches. It is easy to say that I will simply be observing them for the 10 days. Thank you for being honest about wanting to leave. This dark night of the soul is surely normal when you try to tame such a monster. May you be happy. May you have peace.

      You are very kind @thekarmafarmer608. The practice really is a gift and we sure are blessed to have the opportunity to to sit/serve courses. If you are feeling nervous about headache tablets it may be an idea to bring some and hand it to management - just in case you. The center I've served at usually always have some - you just need to chat to the teacher beforehand. I hope this helps and may you have the most fruitful course. With metta

    How it feels ! By doing 20 days of silence meditation, I have done 1 10 days Vipassana course in july 2023 at dhamma bodhi.
    And 2nd time i will go in January 2024.
    I also want to experience this one.
    But i have dought that for continuous 2 years you have to morning and evening Vipassana meditation this the 1st condition.
    Condition 2 that you have to follow five sila.
    But my sila break
    Like
    Sometime i speak lie , sometime vaivichar comes in mind, accidentally any small creature killed.
    I am doing continuous 1 hour morning meditation and 1 hour evening meditation till now and i will make it continue.
    But my question is my sila breaks will they allow me to in long course if will continue this practice ?
    Apka Mangal ho 🙏🎉😃

    I just finished my 5th 10 day last month but I had not completed 1 of the 10 days as I was unwell on one. I was trying to find a 20 day as I don't want to have to do the additional satipatthana with another 10 day. Sounds like you took so much. This last course I was really unable to establish depth in my practice

    • @sharolsebastian
      @sharolsebastian  Рік тому +1

      I'd encourage you to do the Satipatthana course, which is an 8-day course where you get a little book to study as you are practicing. I found it really helpful to understand the theory at a deeper level. Also, have you considered serving a 10-day? This was the catalyst that changed everything for me. Hope this helps. Metta 🙏💫

      I think it's important to break the stereotype that everyone practicing Vipassana or any other spiritual practice for that matter should be "perfect". We are all individuals and who knows what someones history/ karmic allotment is - absolutely no judgement from my end. Initially like everyone I had doubts, this is a good thing. I'd suggest give the practice some time and if you feel you get benefits continue and only compare your progress to yourself before practicing, no one else. Hope this helps, metta 🙏🥰

    • @sharolsebastian
      @sharolsebastian  2 роки тому

      Hi Chetan, it took me a while to get this too. I thought 'I dont want to be a robot' 😂. This is definitely not the case! The more I practiced to more I saw myself being less reactive and instead responding more consciously - seeing that I'm not my mind, body or emotions. I think it is important not to suppress any emotions and found observing the sensations associated with the emotion - with equanimity releases its hold over you. This goes for both "good" and "bad" emotions because in reality it's all just sensation. Hope this helps. It may also be an idea to contact your local teacher whenever you need clarification as they are much more experienced and can be a wonderful support. Metta 🙏

    20 days course??? Nooooo. 10 days was enough for me. Pain and just indoctrination to believes that are not natural. They talk about reaching the light faster. What about the journey. I would not want to jump out from the experience of living. Pain not necessary, no pain and suffering is, there is no need to experience pain and suffering. We must focus on how we respond, not on the pain. Sorry...also where you do it is important. The place I did it, was small, you did not have enough space to walk during 10 days. Not allowed to sing while alone. No talk, I can through and I understand that the idea to be mindful is something one has to go through when in a retreat. However, there is stress involved when you spend too much time on your own. I agreed to the rules of being alone and not look at others on their eyes as they were practicing solitude too. Also, to dress without showing any spare parts and call attention. However, because this was not enforced, there were others trying to call my attention for whatever reason, by trying to make me look at them, or just trying to get the attention of others, but using transparent clothes. Young girls picking up guys or guys hitting on girls. I got a lift home at the end of the retreat, and a married guy hit on me and asked me directly to have sex. Of course I said NO. While this is not at the control of the Vipassana meditation center...still the whole experience was not what I expect. There are other meditation ways that do not involve pain and do not require for you to change your believes nor try to indoctrinate you. simple meditation will one way or another open your mind and your awareness...and spiritual growth as we live life. I think that people does not need to go on so many days to retreats. I love health retreats that also involve some quiet and solitude moments and engagement with nature and healthy food. But also provide the opportunity for interactions with other practices like yoga, massages and dances and food sharing...etc etc. Vapassana Meditation is about getting enlighted through pain...and lots of brainwashing. Not right.

      Hi Sandy, I'm sorry to hear about your experience at the center. For me, Vipassana transformed my life and I am forever grateful. I understand it isn't for everybody and I do hope you find the right practice for you. This may give more insight ua-cam.com/video/UzIuh0dLvPY/v-deo.htmlsi=-ljCCvO-J5zJRrv4 with metta 🙏🤍

      The pain is not needed, I think. I usually do not experience real pain. If I do, I change the posture, searching for a more comfortable one. I would never sit in a way I would consider really painful and thus dangerous. But yeah, it can be uncomfortable because of tensions in the body. But that's not real pain, it's not dangerous and it's nice to feel it dissolve through your attention. The goal is simply to learn to go through what is uncomfortable or boring with calmer state of mind so that you don't need to run away from it and be really free. Nobody can manipulate you then. And you enjoy the good parts fully. They are not sugarcoating, they are pure joy.😁
