On day 8 , I got this feeling that- Dam!!! I need to go back into this mad world. I started loving the silence, the ability to know what I’m feeling and thinking! *Lesson 5*- silence is beautiful! It helps you listen to yourself better and go deeper inside! Day 9 was the last day of silence! I had mixed feelings. I was loving this place but I could also get my phone the next day and speak to everyone! Day 10 was when we got our phones back! Was I excited? Hell yes! But did I enjoy speaking? Not really. It was exhausting to speak *lesson 6* - Speaking takes up most of our energy! The lesser we speak the more we listen and hence the more we learn! Vipassana is not a technique that you do once and it’ll change your life. Everyday practice is necessary and trust me, it’ll make you happy! In the end we’re all working towards happiness! The magic of focussing on your breath and sensations cannot be put into words! The best 10 days of my life (even though I cried the most in these 10 days)

I meditated meditated meditated and then cried my heart out on day 3-6! The 6th day was the hardest as we were going deeper into ourselves! The thoughts , the feelings were just too much! I could feel what I was thinking. Every pain in the body was related to a particular misery stored in my body. *Lesson 3-* Every craving and aversion produces a sensation in our body. If you recognise this for major cravings/addictions, you can let go very very easily! Day 6 passed! Then came day 7 and 8 which helped me recognise my deepest traumas/miseries! Now that I know these were hidden deep inside me, I made terms with them and let go! *Lesson 4* - small things cause misery and those intern are stored in your body in the form of pain. I slowly could feel all my neck pain and back pain disappear. Watch this space to know what happened on day 8,9 and 10! And the biggest lesson I learnt!

‼️This turned my life around for good! ‼️—— VIPASSANA I decided to go to Vipassana on a mission to help my sister recover from schizophrenia ! I did not know what I was getting into. I was in two minds even after I reached there. But, I decided to just go for it! On the first day I felt like I was in a cage. I hated the food, couldn’t eat properly. *Lesson 1-* eat what you get! I learnt how to not be fussy about food and eat what I’m getting on my plate , Gratefully. On the second day I cried to my teacher that I wanna go home! I was missing everyone I knew. I had nothing on me. NO PHONE, NO BOOKS, NOTHING TO WRITE ON! I just had myself to think and speak to (in my head) *Lesson 2:* Value everyone around cuz when you don’t have them, life is incomplete! Want to read on? Watch this space to read on about my Vipassana lessons and how it changed my life.
