Unabashed

This episode explores Josefina’s experience at a 10-day Vipassana meditation retreat, an intensive silent meditation practice rooted in the original teachings of Gautama Buddha.✧ Retreat Overview and PreparationWhat is Vipassana meditation? Josefina immersed herself in 10 days of “Noble Silence”, no talking, eye contact, or gestures, to fully turn inward and observe sensations, cravings, and aversions. Her retreat took place in Joshua Tree at 29 Palms, booked through Dhamma.org. She attended with her fiancé and learned that proactive communication (even when waitlisted) can help secure a spot. Once committed, she fully immersed herself, letting go of other practices like yoga, breathwork, journaling and reading to discover a deeper connection to her inner nature.✧ Her Experience and InsightsThe beginning wasn’t all peaceful and blissful; it was irritating. Small things, like her assigned seat or interactions with others, triggered her. Instead of reacting, she used these moments as opportunities to observe her internal patterns of judgment and aversion. Managing the Process: Josefina emphasized the importance of staying light with diet and choosing self-care, such as prioritizing sleep, over strict, perfect adherence to the schedule.Reflecting on Relationship: The retreat experience allowed Josefina and her fiancé to deepen their connection through a shared, quiet awareness, leading to a profound reunion at the end of the retreat.She also embraced flexibility, prioritizing rest and self-care rather than rigidly following every aspect of the schedule. Listen to her personal story, insights, challenges, and revelations in this episode. ✧ BreakthroughsAs the days progressed, deeper patterns surfaced.She noticed a tendency to cling, especially to pleasant sensations and her fiancé’s attention. When that attention wasn’t present, it triggered deeper feelings of rejection. By day seven, this intensified into what she described as a “psychosomatic storm” of rage, linked not just to the present, but to unresolved childhood experiences. Instead of resisting, she stayed present with the physical sensations. Through observation, she reached a state of stillness and realized that the agitation itself, not external situations, was the root of her anger. .✧ 10-day Silent Vipassana retreat:Go to the website - https://www.dhamma.org/en-US✧ Connect with Josefina:Follow on Instagram:⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@Josefinabashout⁠⁠⁠⁠ Apply for your free Pleasure blueprint session with Josefina https://lp.josefinabashout.com/booking
