And as part of this , can you tell us about spending more than 50 days in total solitude at Buddhist retreats with no reading , writing or eye contact with other people and also tell us about the year in a food science lab , creating formulas that measure the carbs and protein of organic coconut oil , cashew butter , organic apple powder , amber , honey , organic rolled ose , organic buckwheat flour and more than 10 other ingredients . Yeah .
I do . Um , but , uh , it's , uh , a really an incredible practice which is , you know , sitting in silence , um , for these retreats for 10 days at a time . No reading , no writing , no eye contact .
And like I said , unbeknownst to me , it was like , when I got to that point of thinking about it , aa I could visualize it because I had done the work because I had done like , well , most people be like , well , I haven't even spent a day alone . How could I spend 55 days alone ? And I was just like , well , I spent 10 days alone multiple times so I could start to kind of build on that mental side .
