Taking a 10 day Vipassana Silent retreat breaks open something that needs to be understood. Most of these retreats are free… other than the cost of food.
In the first 3 days a person thinks they can’t deal with the whole thing.
Then on the 4th or 5th day something happens and a person moves deeper and surrenders. Then a great deal of understanding of who they are and what’s holding them back occurs.
I highly recommend the documentary “Doing Time, Doing Vipassana” which is on Youtube. – Powerful!
This video is about one of the worst prisons in India which has lots of violence and giving a 10 day Vipassana workshop… and having the inmates completely turn around.
Then there’s another great documentary called “Dhamma Brothers” which is about taking Vipassana Meditation Workshops into a prison in Alabama and having amazing changes happen to the inmates. – Also Very Powerful!
There’s even a kids Vipassana Meditation Course called “Anapana” – wonderful… short duration weekly course and none of these kids have ADHD.
Silence will set a person free!
