Retreat: retreat from 1 to 12 August 2022

My experience at the Ashram was revealing as well as challenging. The routine was a difficulty for me, in relation to schedules and practices.  The posture, the technique and the stillness are situations that I couldn't reach but I could see where they live inside me (or almost).
Being here was being in me all the time, mind tries to escape with all incentives no matter how little they exist here.
I realized the mechanism of my mind, how it works and some of the places it inhabits. I realized I’m anxious, how the mind is addicted to issues and situations that I create and would like it to be, I feel pleasure in being in the midst of illusion, it’s as if it removes me from the place of pain and prevents me from feeling it and getting in touch with it, I learned that pain shouldn’t be avoided.
I feel grateful that this place came to me and that I had the opportunity to have this experience. I intend to come back more often.
