Today I'm breaking down one of the hardest experiences of my life: Vipassana, a 10-day silent meditation retreat. For ten days, I gave up all distractions—my phone, books, workouts, notebooks, conversation—and just sat with my mind.In this episode I share what the retreat was like day by day, how I became hyperaware of how my mind was playing with me, how difficult emotions were the key to my breakthrough, and why learning to observe instead of react is one of the greatest tools we can have in our toolboxes. Whether you're curious about Vipassana, silent retreats, meditation, or simply understanding your own mind a little better, I hope this episode can bring you one step closer to your own breakthrough.Resources & sites mentioned in this episode:<a href="https://atmayogamx.com/">Atma Yoga & Energy Studio</a> in Mexico City<a href="https://www.dhamma.org/en/schedules/schmakaranda">Dhamma Makaranda Vipassana Meditation Center</a> where I went for this retreatMore about <a href="https://www.dhamma.org/en-US/about/goenka">S.N.
