Vipassana: video Phillipines

This has a nice easy to listen to summary of the process. Guess what I was blogging about a year ago. ?? Vipassana video experiences.

Road to Vipassana Year 2

I applied and received my acceptance letter from the Georgia Vipassana center a few days ago.  I sometimes wonder if I am brave or just plain crazy to want (really desire) to go back.  I feel compelled to stay on this road to enlightenment.  It is the only place that makes sense to me really.  I have been facing challenges weekly in my meditation and have not reached that equanimous state during the most challenging times yet.  I accept that it is all a part of my process.  Knowing that this is a process,  I believe will help me during my next sitting.  "WE" will see.  Again, I plan on  making a set a videos that I hope others find helpful for their research or in their journey too or just to share.  (Feeling the sensations as I type this.) Namaste and Metta

Happy New Year 2012

This year offers quick change.  I have been very busy with the first edition of mborrerophoto.com magazine and today  I am working on the second edition.  I was putting together thank you cards earlier and later I am working on scrapbook layouts.  From moment to moment I change what I do,  inside I know that is also true.  I am very thankful in this moment  for all the things that have lead me to this moment.  I especially like to thank S.N.Goenka and all the people who volunteer at the Vipassana Centers  for bringing the road to enlightenment to the masses. I am still working on my meditation and I hope on returning to a center this year.  For those who have been looking  you may want to start here.

My Vipassana Experience - initial feelings

This is a video I made after coming back from my Vipassana experience in July 2011.  It is was not what I expected to be feeling  and I learned early on in the course that changes can happen very quickly there.  My experiences  were all over the place  from realizations, to sleep deprivation, to extreme heart palpitations (which I read that a girl died at Vipassana because of heart problems.)  In the end,  I see a few subtle changes.  It was a difficult experience and one that I would not endure again because of my circumstances.  One thing is for sure, I have begun to walk down the path of enlightenment and it may take some more lifetimes to come closer to the true peace it provides. There are several stories to be told from my experience.  I will start by linking the post to my video  which is extreme and about the heart palpitations and how they made me feel or rather how I reacted to having them.
