Unplugging internet & all distractions. I’ll be sitting on a Swiss ball/cushion/kneeling/standing staring at the wall 12hrs a day. Sleeping 8hrs so that’s 4hrs remaining for playing music, eating, exercising, showering & doing dishes. Of course I will be doing those as mindfully as possible. My intention with all of this will be to purge some shadow material. I am not in it for mystical experiences although I’m open to it. I want clarity & emotional release. I want to know what I want out of the next decade of this life journey I’m on. I’ve been feeling confused & down for a while now & I need something radical to snap me out of my usual thought & behaviour patterns. I expect this to be super difficult but my resolve is very strong. I’ve told this to my mom & cried over the phone with her for an hour earlier this week. I may or may not have a trip in the middle of the retreat. We’ll see. Any tips or things I should keep in mind going into this? Who’s done this in the past here? How did it go?
