Dr. Christopher Shade

And it's like, oh, I don't need anything now.

you know it's just like i bring all these supplements i don't touch them the whole time i'm like i feel great yeah it is interesting right yeah yeah and it's like geez i've seen a few of those there's ones where you can't talk yeah yeah five days silent ones those those are intense and those are intense for people's chatty mind that that runs to just to bring

Now back and be with yourself.

I don't go to the silent ones as much, but... What's the craziest one you've done?

I was just at a retreat where it's a bond.

This is the pre-Buddhist religion in Tibet.

And there's actually a pretty well-known bond, a Tibetan monk who lives at my house.

And so I'm really tied into these people.

And we just did a five, six day one where we were learning the dark retreat techniques, sun gazing and sky gazing.

Wow.

And I haven't done a long, dark retreat.

I've only done some shorter ones.

But yeah, I'm gearing up to do that one now.

What is going on?

Actually, a friend of mine, Wake, is here, and he's done a whole bunch of them.

He's done more than the monks have.

How many do you need?

I don't know.

He really likes them.

He really digs them.
