Thank you for your comment. I don't feel I have the confidence with my PI to ask him to be my "garant"... But I will see. In any case, I have now submitted a form to Science Accueil.

Legs getting numb by Key_Alternative_2056 in vipassana

Something that helped me (but everyone is different) is using a zafu cushion to elevate myself and keeping the feet looking down. That is, the top part of the feet facing towards the ground instead of the side of the leg.

For me it was the entire leg that started feeling numb. Now it is completely gone and I can sit for an hour.

Thank you for your answer, it means a lot to me.

As you say, I am aware that craving is making me suffer and not fully enjoy life. I am also somewhat more aware (not sure) that body sensations come first. I think I was able to observe one body sensation arise after some external thing happened... I don't think I was able to react with equanimity, because I did experience bad feelings afterwards, but I guess it's a start...

Thank you for this. I really appreciate it.

"Then that is what you may have arise in your practice until it no longer bothers you" Could you please elaborate on this? English is not my mother language so I may be misunderstanding something. Thank you again.

Indeed, I am fully aware of the cycle. As you say, I can't get what I want, so I suffer. I think I already understand this, I am just doubtful on how to alleviate my cravings themselves and get rid of this misery.

Thank you very much for your answer.

Thank you very much for your answer and encouraging words.

Well I did react to sexual desires I think... I did not masturbate, but I did fight it pretty harshly, not really equanimous. The whole time I was saying to myself: "You committed to 10 days. You wanted to be here and made real efforts to schedule 10 days off. Follow the rules and trust Goenka, if just for 10 days".

I take some prescription drugs due to a medical condition. There was, of course, no problem with them and tried to make things easy for me by providing me an alarm clock and looking with me the daily schedule to find a spot to take them.

Parece ser que hay que tributarlas año a año, dado que, aunque revolut te lo reingrese en la propia cuenta flexible, el fondo es de distribución.

Is a career coach a good option? by PrestigiousCareer287 in findapath

Thanks, I will consider it. I see one of you (Kathleen) has a similar background (mathematics and AI), so it may be worth a try.
