dAkapacity: Thanks for sharing that wonderful story of your spiritual journey. Sounds to me, like you did a very very long walking meditation, with some special blessings along the way. I love the blessing of the 2 dogs that stayed when you told them to.

I can relate to your experiences with Vipasanna meditation & silent retreat. I've done several of those, & I came out of them a new person. did not however have a K awakening there. Did you go through the period of wanting to "roll up the mat" & go home? This is quite common & yes I too got to that place, thankfully the teacher worked with me & I stayed. My first retreat was 10 days silent...it was very tough.....lots of body pain, restlessness.

I would love to do another one but current circumstances do not permit.
