I cried 8 times and was healed | My first 10-Day Silent Vipassana Meditation Retreat

Since the first time Scott completed a 10-day goenka meditation retreat in Bali, I've been very curious about vipassana. Now I finally know what Scott's been doing when he's been sitting in silence every day, and on the way, I learnt more about myself.

Despite not understanding a word of what you said, I found that absolutely beautiful. The subtitles told me all about your experience but your voice and the language said it all. I have my first Vipassana meditation coming up in November and what I take from this is that everyone has their own unique experience. I am very much looking forward to it and go there filled with excitement and a little trepidation. I’m so glad you found it so enjoyable/useful. Thank you for sharing.

So true, it is a unique experience for everyone!

Hey Ella & Scott, I started watching your channel to improve my Chinese before my first trip to China in August this year. I started to explore more of your content and it turned out that you're two amazing human beings. I got inspired by your story and how you navigate your relationship. I also turned 30 this year so I can relate to so many things and thoughts our generation share...I'm doing yoga almost every day, I struggle with mediation (was also doing Win Hoff method for some time). I just can't find peace in my mind, anxiety kicks in the moment i wake up to run the mundane schedule. I spent 2 weeks in Beijing this summer and got totally mesmerized by China...I also met someone there and we found ourselves attracted to each other, which totally messed my return to Europe. I constantly feel I'm missing out something in my life now, and I'm growing so many doubts in my head. I'm living pretty boring life here, just bought apartment with my girlfriend (mortgage ofc.) and have an office job; it's stable but these things doesn't satisfy me nor bring joy. I just felt I wanted share it with you, don't know why, lol, probably because this video focus so much on inner self. Anyway... wish you all the best for your future endeavours, even though you have small audience, your content is top notch. Thank you for sharing your story🙏🏻

Sounds like our lives have some crossover :) I feel like getting good at life is getting good at making the right decisions, that’s all it is. And meditation has definitely helped both of us get clarity on what the right choice is sometimes, especially because it seems to help slow everything down when the world can feel like it’s spinning too fast. I’m happy our films could give you something and I’m sure you’re on your way to a better place, even if it feels winding. Live life for you!

@@EllaScott thank you for answering. Yeah, you're right. It's all about decisions and trade offs, what can we sacrifice and what we just have to accept. and I'm conflicted by desire of wanting to have it all, experience as much as I can but at the same time having the comfort of stability. Life is short and that triggers anxiety (especially after experiencing China for two weeks...) knowing that every day of hesitation works against me. I hope that getting back to simple medidaton and some breath work will make decision making process a little bit easier. I'll be watching your endeavours as I'm curious how your relationship will grow what your life will turn into over time. Best wishes from Poland, Jakub ( 湖明泽）.

@hmcky More comfort/stability definitely = less experiences. I'm sure that improving your meditation and breath work can help give you some insight. Keep it up and good luck! 😁
