Om

Hey, I can talk again!

It was kind of liberating not speaking all weekend but that's all over now and I'm now at a conference in San Francisco. Talking rather a lot, actually. Presenting, even.

So, did I notice any life changing revelations during my silent meditational weekend?

No, not as such. I'm still pretty much the same. Maybe taller.

However, I do suddenly seem to be able to remember everyone's name, even people I just met. For example, I see someone I don't know very well and their name just comes to me. So, I'm clearly transformed in some way because I'm usually hopeless with names.

Maybe shutting the heck up for a couple of days cleared out my short term memory....

  1. Maybe I can try this at work so I don't tell our intern off.

  2. Unbelievable! Not speaking? Maybe my cat could go to this retreat!

    Lion's breath for the speaking!

  4. I'm sure relaxing, being silent and not getting stressed about anything helps the memory!

    Don't worry - you'll soon be back to the normal name-forgetting status... ;-)

  7. WHAT??? Man, I can't make it more than an hour. Ever. Maybe I should try 1.2 hours and see if I feel refreshed.
    Have fun!
