I thought the government should use this meditation technique as a humane physical and mental torture to interrogate detainees or suspected terrorists. I think engaging in such a retreat would allow one to break a lot of habits that are done more out of routine than anything else.

Haha – I didn’t think I was going to get through it either, especially on the first three days when I felt like tearing my hair out from having to sit and concentrate for 10 hours a days! Wow, that sounds like an awesome experience once you adjust to the completely different lifestyle. I thought the hardest part would be waking up early and sitting all day, not concentrating. I had no idea concentrating was so challenging, I thought no talking would be the most challenging part!
Are you considering trying it again later? I found day 7 particularly hard for some reason, I kept feeling phantom bee stings that day, and thought I was going crazy.

It was good to learn that that’s an area my mind needs to practice :) I still meditate, and finding concentration is much easier now that it was during those first few days! I fell asleep and woke up to a course assistant gently pulling on my cushion telling me to keep my head up and to keep trying.
