Thank you Michał for sharing your experience! It is incredible how quickly one's mind wants to be numbed because of the overstimulated environment we have created for ourselves.
Did you notice any changes to your sleep during the retreat? After the retreat?
P.S: Many people would be shocked to see the schedule of a typical day at the retreat. 🤪
A daily schedule with 10-11 hours of sitting and meditating is quite intense, and as you may have noticed, many people may find it shocking.
The brain enjoys fewer stimulations, and the threshold for getting excited becomes much lower.
During the retreat, I was sleeping around 6.5 hours at night and taking naps twice a day for about 30 minutes each. I returned to my normal schedule and started waking up at 8-9 AM after a week. However, it was possible to maintain the 4 AM waking time without any issues after a few days.
Dzięki za ten tekst, czekałam na niego :)

What an experience you had, my friend! I could feel it through your post. Hopefully, I can do it myself someday.
I hope you will be able to experience it, Suresh.
I'm glad you felt involved by reading my story. Thanks!
Incredible experience Michal!
It's crazy, going away for 10 days, to meditate for most of them.
Sounds almost impossible and you had an amazing time there.
It's good to have you back!
It's definitely possible, thanks for the kind words, Orel!
