RE: Natural Medicine Interview Sessions: Talking Vipassana with @porters

i did understand the once a day period to check in with the teacher... but in the middle of the night when I was wandering around outside unable to sleep and extremely distraught and panic attacking... i wasn't sure if i should talk to someone.. or just keep wandering around distraught.. i got through the concentration part of the course but just started the body scan part when I left early. i will try it again one day... i think the trauma of leaving early and being panic attacked and insomniatic for the next two weeks after is finally settling out.. i thought later, well, it would have been better to be going through that in there than 'out' in the world. I didn't have a home at the time so it's not like i had a safe place to go after to recoup...

Ah, I see! It does make it more difficult if you did not have a home to recoup in and I understand you not wanting to disturb anyone in the middle of the night. I'm glad the trauma part is passing and I do hope you get a chance to sit another course when you are really feeling ready.
