Master Your Mind: Vipassana Science & Meditating for 12 hours a day

Travelling Science

I recently travelled to India and participated in a 10-day Vipassana meditation course. In this episode I’m going to discuss what it involved, how it worked and the results that I observed after taking the course.
Topics covered include:

-Noble Silence, 10 days without speaking to another human

-giving up all personal electronic devices

-waking up at 4am every morning

-meditating for 12 hours every day

-being stuck with nothing but your thoughts all day, every day

Ultimately, the course focused on the concepts of impermanence and constant change, but throughout the 10 days a lot more was learned about one’s self and one’s reality. Listen in to hear all about it.
