Apr 2 Episode 90: Insights from my 10 day Vipassana Meditation Retreat Experiences

In this week’s episode of the #MoneyMagic Podcast, Vangile talks about her experience as a vipassana meditator.

Vangile shares her transformative journey with Vipassana meditation, highlighting its profound impact on her mental health and well-being. She shares information on how to apply for Vipassana meditation retreats and emphasizes the importance of following the rules and serving at centers to deepen her practice.

She reflects on surrendering to the present moment, embracing gratitude, and acknowledging growth facilitated by Vipassana. She shares how Vipassana helped her get into her body and understand ancestral trauma and inspired her to write her first book, “Heart, Mind & Money.”

She hopes this experience leads to transformative shifts in attendees' lives and delves into healing ancestral money trauma through the Money Magic course.
