Day 158: Vipassana Day 1 - Ommmmm

Today is Day 1 of my silent retreat…shhhhhh. To give you an idea of what I will be going through for the next 10 days, this is what my timetable looks like:

4am                       Wake up

4:30-6:30              Meditate on own

6:30-8:00              Breakfast

8:00-9:00              Group Meditation

9:00-11:00           Meditate some more

11:00-noon         Lunch

Noon-1:00           Rest

1:00-2:30              Meditate on own

2:30-3:30              Group Meditation

3:30-5:00              Meditate some more

5:00-6:00              Tea break

6:00-7:00              Group Meditation

7:00-8:15              Teacher’s Discourse

8:15-9:00              Group Meditation

9:00-9:30              Question time (I can actually talk now)

9:30pm                 Bedtime, lights out

For someone who doesn’t meditate, that’s a whole LOT of meditating! Holy Cow.
