Yesterday, I attempted a 1 day meditation retreat.
From 9am - 5pm. 1.5hr break in between.
I felt frustrated and awful at the end, but I'm going back again.
I do not know why I did it..
Oh yes, the practice required us to follow the 8 precepts for 24hrs.
basically to obstain from food after midday, from any forms of entertainment, music, friends.
I forego with it as I've made an appt with my friends to catch a movie.
I even ate after.
Yucks, I didnt fulfill it. But Im going back again.
This time, I shall abide it and set aside 24hrs wholly for this retreat.
I must say, however frustrated I felt. Throughout the day later, I actually looked to my inner being and felt very calm.
Meditation allows me to gain insight, without me realising.
