10 More Days of Silence: Completing My Second 10-Day Vipassana Meditation Course

My pleasure @darwinruiz . I do have to ask, what is it like when having that first conversation after not communicating with any body for 10 days?
Thank you for checking out my article! Have a good night.

Great question, @enduro1776. In fact, I found that I was very hesitant to begin talking to others again. It's the same thing that happened the first time I did it.

Although a lot of the other participants were quick to start talking again, I (and a few others I noticed) took my time getting back to that. I went for a walk around the trails and just had to take it all in a bit longer.

The first conversation felt great. It was good to express what I was thinking and share with others what we'd gone through.

I did find myself stumbling over words though. Haha. That was a funny thing to experience...as if my mouth needed to get used to talking again.
