What Is A Darkness Retreat?
The darkness retreat is also called dark therapy, dark yoga or dark meditation. It is finding the Soul and inner responses.
When we dedicate ourselves to darkness for a longer time, we will experience the being and powers, that are greater than we are, an experience that goes deeper and deeper. Darkness retreats are the original path to enlightenment and are practiced in all traditional cultures, especially in Japan, India and Tibet. In Bön, the pre-Buddhist religion of Tibet, the darkness retreat is called the royal road of meditation. Using the night as a tool to reduce stimuli and for final conditioning is a part of self-discovery in all cultures and religions.
You may have many different kinds of spiritual experiences during a darkness retreat. Self-awareness often deepens. A darkness retreat may also lead to a contemplation, an observation of mental processes, an experience of the primal sound and primal light, encounters with spiritual beings, decedents, figures of light, forces of nature, an out-of-body experience, and more. https://darknessretreat.net/
