The experience reports came back pretty soon after the retreats ended. In fact, I'm pretty sure they were shared here, shortly thereafter. For some of the participants, they were in singular meditation sessions of around twelve hours, every day. It also jives with my own experience with TM and leaving TM as a practice. Shortly after finding a more efficient technique, my sitting practice went from thirty-five minutes to three to three and a half hours, without a break. Just decide, and go. It's easy. ;-)
