From today up to the 16th of February, I'm doing a 10 days (12 days technically) vipassana Goenka meditation retreat. I chose Goenka as it's a secular meditation, not affiliated with any religion (perfect for a non-believer!). There will be no talking, no smartphones, no reading/writing, no exercise for 10 full days. Just be still with our own self & mind.
Thanks to my wife @we.love.jakarta for letting me to do this retreat, away from work and away from everything. I've been wanting to do this since years ago, finally it's here in front of me.
Going away from everything doesn't mean it's going to be peaceful. I know what's in front of me, facing my own self, my own feeling, my own mind without any distraction must be one of the hardest things ever.
Doing this retreat will not give me any special mind power, spiritual enlightenment, nor making me believe in the supernatural.
I'm happy with a simple clarity of life.
See you on the 16th! 📷
