      I recently finished my second ten-day Vipassana meditation course I’m hoping to share some of my experiences + impressions, and also try to capture my current headspace, which noticeably improved after completing the course

      Overall I think Vipassana is a good experience for people who want to try a serious meditation practice and explore what it means to grasp at “enlightenment” You can easily find writing from people who didn’t like it, but I want to explain what’s possible in a good-case scenario

      It probably makes sense to describe exactly what you do at a Vipassana course: - It’s a ten-day silent meditation course - You can’t talk, read, write, gesture, or even make eye contact - Students follow a strict timetable, (pictured below); most of the day is spent meditatingpic.twitter.com/h0frTUWVWw

      This is a physically demanding experience Especially in the beginning, your back and legs will probably hurt a lot, and you’ll be surprised how sore you get from sitting all day The physical aspect shouldn’t be prohibitively challenging though, and accommodations can be made

      The mental challenge is the most difficult—and most rewarding—part A Vipassana course will test your ability to concentrate, your perceptual limits, and your capacity for boredom and frustration

      Much like the physical discomfort, I found that the boredom and anxiety was worst in the beginning I usually have an unlimited supply of distraction at my fingertips, and without any escapist outlets, it felt like quitting cold turkey on an electronic dopamine addiction

          After a few days of relative under-stimulation, your thoughts get less turbulent and you begin to approach “mental silence” The course is intentionally paced to give you time to settle in, and the instructor gradually teaches you new elements of the technique as your mind clears

          I don’t think this is the right medium for me to tell you how to do the technique—you can google it, but for best results, you should learn it at a course But I’ll say that it includes some breathing stuff, and primarily focuses on physical sensations experienced in the body

          In my experience, the practice itself enables you to embody some metaphysically profound (and instrumentally rewarding) truths around ego, reaction, desire, expectations, and impermanence

          These teachings are non-dogmatic, and the instructor explicitly maintains that the theory is far less important than the results With that in mind, I’ll just try to describe a few of the benefits that I and others have realized through consistent, serious Vipassana practice:

          SELF-CONTROL Vipassana courses demand an exceptional amount of equanimity, discipline, and sustained effort The practice builds your capacity to endure emotional and physical discomfort, which pays dividends in your work, relationships, and exercise habits

          SENSITIVITY The practice requires you to remove external stimuli and spend many hours examining your internal experience You become keenly aware of ever smaller micro-sensations/reactions/emotions, which seem to constantly and spontaneously bubble up from the subconscious ether

          GENEROSITY I’ve become noticeably more generous with my time and resources, but more importantly, I’m becoming more generous in the way that I perceive other people and their intentionshttps://twitter.com/choosy_mom/status/1229575817425903621 …

          A better solution is to hack your charitable vs. uncharitable interpretive tendencies It’s difficult (maybe impossible) to turn off your negative-judgmental brain, but you can make a conscious effort to assume best intentions and love your out-group https://twitter.com/visakanv/status/1223254341173121024 …

          I think Vipassana facilitates generosity and empathy by depersonalizing your first-person experience It allows you to step out of the proverbial driver’s seat, non-judgmentally observe your flighty subconscious, and appreciate the equally unpredictable subjectivity of others

          These courses are literally built on a spirit of generosity—the courses, which provide 10 days of housing and food, are free of charge The instructors, course managers, and servers are volunteers, and material costs are paid in full by old students who felt compelled to donatehttps://twitter.com/choosy_mom/status/1220468969284308994 …

          it’s a little *unchill* that many of the mainstream inner work/trauma resolution practices are inaccessibly expensive to most people (therapy, rehab, retreats, increasingly meditation & mindfulness)

          I have plenty more to say about: - delicious vegetarian Vipassana food - rapture and solitude in nature - embodiment/“breaking through” - meditation vs. psychedelia - skepticism and occultism - non-profit, minimally evangelical organizational sustainability and growth

          But those topics aren’t compact, and they don’t fit cleanly in the context of this thread I’ll maybe post more about this later, and if you’re curious to hear more, DMs are always open :)
