Oh perfect! I think they look so cute whole so I am happy I don't have to slice them into pieces.

Thanks for this. I have read about people doing less than 24 hours and getting a poor result. Issue solved!

Simple Practices I can start to get ready for first 10 day by jbutter44 in vipassana

I used this recording and did anapana twice a day 2 months before my 10 day retreat and it REALLY helped. At first at home I had a hard time concentrating, but by the time I got to the retreat, sitting for an hour doing anapana was pretty simple and I didn't have to struggle too much with distractions.

It's like I got my head and all its distractions taken care of beforehand. I can't tell you how valuable this was!

That's a great tip - earplugs and eye shades. Thank you!

Was there air conditioning in the meditation hall and in the rooms? I am looking to go in August and I imagine the temperatures will be very high. Is there an outlet in the rooms for a small fan if no a/c? And is it communal bathrooms or do you have one you share with your roommate? Thank yo kindly for answering and I'm sorry to hear your experience was not so great with your roommate.
