Any People on here do the 10-day retreat? If so how was your experience ? I'll start: During the First three days the days felt like weeks,time felt like passing slower and after 5-6 days i felt an intuitive alignment with the changing nature of phenomena,perceptions. At the end of the Ten Days i felt like all of the Participants where close Friends which i've known for months. Because of this feeling i became more social at the End. The Real exciting thing was going back into the city i live in. Everything felt so chaotic and fast. People on the Streets seemed to look unaware and not knowing of this experience. And this only after 10-Days one has to imagine the changes after 20/30/40-Days. ?

But i do feel like not getting pulled into a direction by an emotion since i did the retreat.

Hmm... happiness,joy,stress,frustration,calmness,boredom,exitement a bit of everything i guess.

Yes, i'm definitely going to continue as it helped me greatly socially and made me more aware. I also remember that i struggled quite a bit. Good luck in your future practice. Metta!

The more active/diverse the Lifestyle the more you can expect to feel basically

What specific emotions i feel depends on what happens during the day or how i choose to spend the day.

Sometimes 2-3 times a day sometimes none, depends on the situation and Lifestyle.

Was it a Picture in your mind or feeling on/in the body? Did you feel like the solidity of your body dissolved ? If it was the latter it could be a kind of mental state, usually felt in deep meditation where the solid feeling of the body dissolves. ?
