      "body": "![Vipassana.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXzvnBFe5BDEkzS1g3XGLSFKFYonCzeKYGzEb7nGTw81g/Vipassana.png)\nImage from http://www.salonisingh.com/vipassana-meditation/\n\n‘You must be mad!’... ‘why would you put yourself through that?!’... ‘I couldn’t think of anything worse’ were just a few of the “encouraging” comments I received when I told people of my plans. I was to venture off on my own to sit cross legged for 10 hours a day (yes 10!) and remain in silence with no reading, writing, exercise or technology for the whole 10 day period. Hmm come to think of it I think you have definitely got to be a little bit mad. But… I can say with utmost sincerity that it was one of the most worthwhile things I have ever done and I received exactly what I needed from it. I had hit a bit of a crossroads in life and didn’t know which way to turn. I was desperate for change but I had no idea what I could or should change… it was a confusing time. \n![direction.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWicynReYWrgzib8s5FUwY8pByeXZdJdZ8dZUkqfQNWsQ/direction.jpg)\nImage from http://www.nationalgeographic.com.au/brain/brain-games-how-to-improve-your-sense-of-direction.aspx\n\nI wanted clarity, and strength to make the changes that came from that clarity. That is exactly what I got… truckloads of the stuff!\n\nSo why this? I’d heard of Vipassana now and then over the years and it was something that interested me, but I’d long forgotten about it, until I went to a drink and drug free hippy festival in the UK called [Into The Wild](https://www.intothewildgathering.com/)  (I’d highly recommend it to anyone wanting an enriching festival experience). My girlfriends and I went along to a guided meditation by a teacher called Tim Green. The focus was on finding who you are; it was deep, touching and empowering. During his talk afterwards he recommended the Vipassana experience at [Dhamma Dipa](https://www.dipa.dhamma.org/), commenting that it would ‘accelerate your meditation practice’. Now I’m all for acceleration! That really got my attention, as I knew I was wanting something to happen sooner; this seemed to present itself to me as a possible catalyst for the change I was so deeply seeking. \n\nAs soon as I could I researched what this Vipassana thing was really all about… videos, written reviews, explanations… I was in. The 10 day course seemed such an extreme thing to do that I felt there would be no way that life would remain the same after doing something like this. Not to mention that it’s absolutely **free**… yes you read that right! They don’t charge a penny. It’s all run completely on a donation basis and staffed by volunteers. They don’t even let you give a donation until you’ve sat a course. Only after sitting a course can you make a donation based on the experience you had and the means available to you at the time. They actively discourage you from giving beyond your means, as the idea is to give lovingly from the heart, not to have any negative feeling attached to your gift, which you likely would have if you gave more than you could afford. Likewise after sitting a course, you are able to offer your time instead of financial means, by ‘serving’ at another course.\n\nNeedless to say with all that in mind, I took the plunge and booked myself on. It’s worth noting here that it’s not necessarily as simple as booking on when you fancy, as it’s very popular, so you need to find out what date the application process opens for the date you want to go, and fill out your online application at 8pm on the dot to stand a chance. If you are unsuccessful for the dates you want, it’s worth asking to be added to the waitlist, as people often drop out nearer the time. It does ask you some personal questions such as about substance use and mental health difficulties - it’s worth being honest here, they’re not there to judge or discriminate but they do need to be able to support you to have a safe experience. \n\nSo I’m not going to go into too much detail about the ins and outs of the actual course. I figure if you’ve read this far that you have some interest in considering this for yourself, and if that's the case it’s best to have as little expectation as possible, as it will never be what you may imagine based on others descriptions. What I’d rather do is touch on what I gained from the experience, which is the most important part really. Now this is a pretty tricky thing to do, considering words do not seem to be able to do the experience justice. Without trying to sound too abstract, what you learn and experience on this course is actually *beyond* *words*. But as I now feel so passionately about how much others could benefit from this experience, I need to give it a shot, so here goes…\n\n![wisdom.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmX3AJMwwkeRfTYtyvdRg8LnmC3ukywhZYn41qtWhEttZk/wisdom.jpg)\nImage from https://ineffablemrjones.wordpress.com/2017/04/05/wisdom/\n\n1. I developed *wisdom*. I know that may sound cheesy, but wisdom comes from directly experiencing the true nature of our physiological and psychological mechanics and the natural environment unfolding around us. The extent to which you quiet your mind during a Vipassana course, allows you to study this in it’s exquisite detail. Wisdom isn’t something that you can learn on an intellectual level, no matter how many books you read, academic courses you study or online videos you watch. Putting Vipassana aside, wisdom comes not only from direct experience, but from reflecting on the lessons gained from those experiences. During a Vipassana course, you are doing nothing but this! It’s no wonder Tim Green described the experience as ‘accelerating’ you. It’s an amplified shot of deep reflection, condensed into a 10 day experience. \n\n\n![what-was-i-thinking-web.gif](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQwUiTE4wzv6UjxVa3v9UnkTuNKYxYapYpWxWC4cXRMGt/what-was-i-thinking-web.gif)\nImage from http://www.thepavementprincess.com/2014/06/failure-what-was-i-thinking.html \n2. I learned to *notice* and *gain* *control* of my impulsive, unconscious reactions, urges and responses. This can be anything from noticing the urge to eat a donut to comfort myself when feeling deflated and having that split second to consider that maybe that won’t actually make me feel better but worse, to noticing deeply entrenched patterns of behaviour and unhelpful habits that were contributing to my life not going in the directions I wanted it to, and having the opportunity to choose to behave differently. \n\n\n![compass.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQ1rqRef67yedDGF6MeBy5txFdrzUPTXhcCaq7BKasfwg/compass.jpg)\nImage from http://aptgadget.com/best-compass-apps-ios/\n3. I gained *clarity*. There were a few things in my life that I was massively confused about.I left this course with unquestioning clarity. It was scary, as what it revealed wasn’t something I wanted to be true (the need to end the 10 year relationship I was in). But if there’s one thing you will learn so much about by sitting a 10 day Vipassana course, is the truth. And although that was a terrifying truth to be faced with, I am forever grateful for that truth being revealed to me then, just when it was needed. Without it, what had been a beautiful relationship that we’d outgrown, would have inevitably deteriorated into a confusing struggle involving hurting each other and holding each other back. Neither of us deserved anything less than the truth that was hiding from us. That said, after I returned from this course and took such drastic action, people understandably had some reservations about whether this strange experience could have caused me to do this. The course didn’t cause me to do anything - it just revealed what I knew deep down anyway but was in complete denial of. Several of my good friends have sat courses since, and it’s safe to say none of them have come out and immediately left their long term partners or done anything drastic like that!\n\n![strength3.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmcpsZCqkwTcQ5PkTm6MrcPCnCRrowJTgYhWHS1q2coB5h/strength3.jpg)\nImage from https://drdivaphd.wordpress.com/2012/11/06/finding-strength-in-weakness/\n4. I gained *strength*. There was no way on earth I would have been strong enough to walk away from the relationship without having sat this course. Believe me I had tried it and I felt like I was walking off the edge of a cliff - I just could not do it. It was absolutely petrifying. I guess it was a lot to do with the clarity that allowed me to feel so strong. Knowing so deeply that it was right. Aside from the relationship thing, I feel so much stronger emotionally since sitting the course. I mean if you can get through this course, you really get a sense that you can do anything! It’s almost like I gained a birds eye view of life and realised things that seemed so big just weren’t such a big deal. Most of all I realised that everything will always be ok in the end. That may sound vague and cliche, but can you imagine knowing that so deeply in your core and trusting fully that everything is and always will be ok? It’s been a game changer for me - I tell you. \n\n\nSo those are what I’d say were my main lessons. There were actually endless lessons upon lessons I learned throughout the experience and since I’ve been applying what I learned to everyday life, but maybe that’s for another post. I learned that the greatest teacher is nature, that all the answers are there unfolding within you and around you. I also learned an awful lot about pain, which was very freeing and liberating. \n\n1 year on I am so much happier. I wasn’t unhappy before, but I was at a restless and unsettled stage, searching for something. I can safely say I found what I was searching for and am feeling very content about the path that I’m now on. I don’t want to make out that sitting a Vipassana course will fix everything for you, as it won’t (and it is ridiculously difficult, as is applying it in everyday life afterwards), but I found it was a great starting place and catalyst. I am about to set off and travel around the world, and I cannot wait! I’m also looking forward to sitting anther Vipassana course in the near future. In a lot of ways, this is just the beginning...\n\nAnd as Del Boy would say… ‘he who dares, wins’. So go on, I dare ya ;o) \n\n![accelerate.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYUd1FvRvJisnzrdPTTCQhVXMA99jNv1zAh664zUD1EUY/accelerate.jpg)\nImage from https://openideo.com/accelerate \n\nI’d love to hear from you about any similar / differing experiences you may have had or if you have any questions, just pop them in the comments below.
