What A 10-Day Silent Meditation Retreat Can Teach You About Uncovering The Bliss of Being

from A New Way of Being

'All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone.' - Blaise PascalWhat are you like at sitting without any distractions, and just being? Not great I imagine, as it is something most people resist and avoid like the plague. Our culture is built on continual doing and a cult of productivity. But sitting and just being, while frequently torturous at first, can transform into a blissful experience as the thinkiung mind quietens down to reveal the innate joy lying underneath.This was a lesson Jenna Ashford - elite GB hockey player turned psychologist - discovered after spending 10 days on a Vipassana meditation retreat.**Website: simonmundie.comYouTube: https://tinyurl.com/YouTubeSimonMundieInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/simonmundie/Substack Newsletter: https://simonmundie.substack.com/My book Champion Thinking: How To Find Success Without Losing Yourself draws on some of my favourite interviews over the last six years.
