About this episode

In this episode of the podcast “The Sara Shabana Show” I shared my experience of going to a 10 days of silent Vipassana meditation course.  

Below are the key highlights from the episode:
 

-       Why I decided to try 10 days of silent meditation. 

-       The philosophy behind this ancient technique and its significance in our mental wellbeing.

-       Laws of the universe and how we are in charge of our own happiness and misery. 

-       How to re-program our deeper levels of the mind. 

-       The magic of silence, mindfulness, and solitude. 

-       The lessons learned from this experience and my key takeaways.
