..., no food...

And also

It takes 10 days

There must be something to it 🤔

[–] cuerdo@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

yes, sorry there is food, but not much either, it is vegan and you eat facing the wall

It is a great thing.

It is a quite empiric meditation technic without any mystical stuff.

It is all over the world and it is free

It is actually written vipassana. Google it.

PS. There is food, I missed that part :D

looks interesting. how does it make you feel?

I think that the experience is very unique for each person, so I will not get into that.

I think the main idea is that the sensory deprivation exposes how your brain works, to yourself.

It is very scientifical because it is all about leaving your mind empty and observing what happens.

This is where the experiences differ.

However, it is almost like a physical training on controlling your brain, of empowering you on what you think and how you think it.

We were about 60 people when I did it, only 1 left before the end, only one other said at the end that he did not find it very useful.

For me it was life changing, I must also say that when I found out that something like this existed, my first thought was "I have to do this"

i tought about the same thing.

where can i read about the science behind it, and how do you go about doing this? can i do this at home?

It is like an association and they have centers all over the world. You have to request to join a program, if they accept you, they provide lodging and food. It is free but they ask for donations.

I don't recommend to do it at home, it is all about the immersive experience.

I don't know about the science of it but it is brutally simple. There is very little philosophy to it.
