Publisher Description
Leigh takes you on a 10 day journey of a meditative vipassana retreat. 2 years after suffering multiple strokes at the age of 38, abruptly cutting short a fast paced lifestyle complete with the city job, big house and fancy car. 10 days of no technology, no talking and no connection!
Along this journey of physical and mental endurance he experiences vivid hallucinations and a roller-coaster of emotions, reflecting on a life he once took for granted.
Despite being bound, like his fellow meditators, by a vow of silence, connections are formed and personalities come through in this diary style account of one man's vipassana experience.
Beautifully and boldly told, this is a story for anyone interested in the 2,500 year old tradition of vipassana or curious about how a very sociable, chatty, tech-addicted guy handled sitting in silence for 10 days after relinquishing his smartphone!
Perhaps you have started your own journey of meditation and inner peace? Join Leigh as he embarks on his...

A book that will inform you and make you meditate at the same time
I found each chapter formative, interesting and relaxing.
I loved how descriptive was the author upon his experience on the 10 vipassana days. I felt like I was there with my closed eyes during the meditation sessions. It also made me realize how hard is for anyone to stay calm and be in the present due to the current modern lifestyle. Meditation is the only practice that can heal our minds from negative thoughts, get to know us better and eventually accept our ups and downs.
