    Hi everyone! I am a regular visitor in the forums but today I decided to register and post a thread :)

    Tomorrow will be my day 40 of hardmode rebooting, still counting to 90 (and beyond) of course.

    In that period I have meditated, filled creative goals and been generally happy and mentally balanced more than I have ever been.

    In addition, I have also participated in a 10 day vipassana meditation retread which helped a lot, and I highly recommend it to anyone here who struggles with unwanted negative thoughts or behavior patterns (wanting to PMO included obviously).

    I feel like meditation,in any of its many forms, can help a lot with rebooting and getting sexually and generally healthier-
    So if anyone wants to anything regarding this idea and technique Id be happy to try and answer, because this forum has helped me a lot and I'm happy to return the favor.

    Thank you all and good luck!

    Hi there! I've thought of doing a Vipassana retreat in the past but ended up starting with mindfulness techniques. Some people I know said that Vipassana is really hard. Did you have any experience before doing your retreat? How difficult was it?

    a 10 days vipassana retreat is very challenging. Mental residues come up and go away on a regular basis, 11 meditation hours each day also bring physical pain which has to be dealt with with equanimity, and many more.
    Although- I don't think home meditation can prepare us for it-
    I've been meditating regularly for the past 2 years in the anapana technique (mainly focusing on the breath) and the Vipassana retreat was just a totally different thing. Plus, many of the participants who I met there had no clue about what meditation even is, and produced great benefits off of it.

    Hope that helped :)

    Been getting morning wood for the past 4-5 days regularly ! This hasn't happened in years now. So happy to actually notice rebooting results in a sexual context.
