¿Te vas de vacaciones? :))
What an experience....!
Trabajo, trabajo muy, pero muy duro!
:-) Yes I think it was a very fruitful experience but a lot of hard work also... 5 women out of 34 quit the course, because it was to hard for them... 3 men out of 32 quit the course for the same reason...
I stayed, but I would be lieing if I told you that it is only a good experience...
I can write you a mail about the details if you'd like?
Ciberado;
Not saying a word wasn't really the hardest part, which may sound strange, but when you have serious physical pain and you are using your brain as much as we were, you start to enjoy the silence, trust me :-)
But on the other hand, it was quite hard to walk by a crying woman sitting on a bench, not being allowed to comfort her with words or a hug... That I missed. Being able to show that I do care of other human beings and not only myself...
I don't think you would explode, but it would probably be a challenge. I talk A LOT and it was a huge challenge fot me to shut up and think ;-)
Where do I write to?
and your experience reminded me of this german documentary film about Carthusian order of monks in France, who live under a vote of Silence, i think you and dhania will appreciate it, Into Great Silence,

Muchas gracias :-)
It was a tough experiment, but I have learned a lot!
If you want to know a little bit more, google S.N. Goenka and you'll find a lot of interesting articles etc. about the 10-day course in Vipassana meditation :-)
I think you should go... Or at least consider it :-)
