  • Summary

  • What actually happens on a silent meditation retreat? In this conversation, my husband and I discuss our experiences on a week-long Jhourney meditation retreat. The retreat attempts to teach participants how to reach a jhana state, which is a state of deep relaxation and bliss. Spoiler alert: one of us was able to reach it, and the other wasn’t! The intentionally slow pacing of the retreat allowed us to reflect on our relationships with social media and technology more generally. Learn how we plan to change their behavior based on the retreat’s structure and teachings. 00:00 Introduction 1:04 Retreat Day-to-Day 2:29 Yoga As A Tool 4:30 Overcoming The Boredom Hurdle 6:11 What Are Jhana States? 10:52 Personal Growth 15:45 Managing Emotions and Tears 18:01 Meditation’s Biggest Impacts 23:10 Our Individual Takeaways 29:18 Tracking Feelings Intentionally Learn more about this retreat at www.Jhourney.io.
