Can you sit in silence for 10 days?
Many people can’t fathom being quiet for more than a few minutes, much less that long. Six months ago, I couldn’t imagine doing it!
But recently, I went on a silent retreat at the California Vipassana Center. For 10 days, I and 50 other men and women had a sacred experience that bore fruit for the mind, body, spirit...and life.
In this episode of the Words of Love podcast, you’ll hear about what we went through during this Vipassana retreat. I’ll talk about the powerful benefits derived from it, why sitting in silence for some time is so vital, and teach you how to reconnect to that place inside so you too can benefit anytime.
