    Dear Alpa,

    Loved reading this interesting write up about your experience with the Vipassana course. It is indeed inspiring to read how much one can benefit from it.

    I am an ardent and regular follower of spiritual practices and my faith in their immeasurable benefits is unshakeable because I have experienced the benefits myself.

    I have read about the Vipassana course earlier too and have always wanted to take it. Your write up inspires me to make it happen one day soon.

    I could only nod in agreement when you said that the eczema on your hands was gone and your face glowing at the end of the course. I have experienced similar physically changes in myself too. Not to mention the tremendous mental peace and stability that these practices bring in your life.

    Good luck in keeping up with your practices and enjoy the wonderful changes that happen in your life as a result of it!

    Luv,
    SS

    Dear,

    That was a beautiful post, explaining in detail about your viappassana course.

    I have had a recent fling with spirtuality, and looking to make it as a life long love affair :). It is a welcome change and is so invigorating to feel at self during practices.

    Recently, I attended a similar ( not a silence one) programme conducted by Isha Yoga at Coimbtore for 3 and half days. I can completely relate to your feeling of light heartedness and glow in face. In our program, one of the many rules prevented us from the usage of a mirror. Although I have never been concious about seeing myself often,the minute of seeing my reflection on a shop display after 4 days kind of bought a sense of absolute happiness. Wish I had the power to record that moment.

    Do continue your practices. Good Luck

    Cheers

    Archana

    Dear Alpa,
    Thanks for sharing your Vipasana experience with full details. By reading books or learnig through vedios will not give the benefit like learning through a guru. Meditation gives mental peace as well as physical fitness.
    PS
