I went to a couple of Vipassana retreats.
Personal Experience
They were like: ignore inner imagery, stay away from it. I’m now pretty mad about that, because I had some insane imagery at those retreats. It would’ve been so good to work with. There was so much juice there, and they just cut me off from it.

Coming out of the retreat, I felt like: “I don’t need to go back onto a meditation retreat for the foreseeable future because it’s clearly not beneficial for me right now”. That allowed me to throw myself into my career and work.
Benefits Gained
When I did the retreat, I had never sat in meditation that much. Suddenly sitting in 10 hours of meditation every day was a lot. If you’re sitting for 90 minutes and one hour of that is silent and you don’t know what you’re doing, you can spiral. Maybe some people eventually settle in, but I didn’t get to that place. Not being able to journal and properly exercise all didn’t help either.
