since returning from vipassana meditation i've been meditating at least once a day, twice a day if i can, for an hour. it's been a challenge. all the distractions of living and working fill my mind with persistent thinking that's hard to quiet down. it takes me almost an hour to get to the state where i can begin to sense my body without interruption. at vipassana, i'd wake up in this state, ready to go. so, i've learned the value of going on retreat. i've also learned how much i deal with each day and how much energy it takes to manage it.
