Some people like to travel, and do meditation retreats in different places. There are different kinds of meditation retreats in different parts of the world, and I have already tried yoga retreat in Montana. Studies have shown that silent meditation has benefits for everyone. I have experienced it firsthand from the excellent people I shared my retreat adventure all over the world: entrepreneurs, artists, youth, older men and women, physicians, nurses, and people from all pathways of life. While each takes home unique teachings, these thoughts are accepted by almost all the participants. Here are three things you can learn in meditation retreats that you won’t find anywhere else:
Increase Your Attention at the Moment
It’s time to undo all distractions: writing, studying, making eye contact, or talking. I’m starting to see tiny things that I’m not aware of, and this activity cultivates more excellent awareness. Would you find your mind wandering to look at the future talking or the past? Or do you have all kinds? Even if I do, it happens a lot less than before. Silent meditation helped me focus on what is happening now, rather than overthink about the past and future. The runaway encounter has given me the confidence to make decisions along with vulnerability, authenticity, and a perspective on life.
Free Your Mind
The construction of the silent retreat made it possible for me to develop my mind in a process that it has not been capable of elsewhere. After a few moments, clarity of thought begins to grow, similar to my mind recovering from feeling healthy and strong again. The clarity of ideas that I cultivate in silent meditation is transferred to my whole life, allows for a more meaningful existence, and more awareness of the thoughts as they appear.
Preserve Perspective
I have been playing with stories in my mind all my life: the events of the day and the whole month occupy my mind. The silent meditation: no conversations, no mobile phones, and no disturbances, allows me to see and hear things differently. I begin to see my surroundings in a detailed and lively way. Silent meditation helps me to be less receptive and more positive.
Our minds are mostly occupied with thoughts that we don’t want to think about, and it is more critical than ever that we need to find ways to focus on what’s important. Taking time for everything we do in our lives makes us more interested in understanding what it means to participate in a silent meditation retreat!
