Common benefits

A darkness retreat offers different benefits for everyone, but the following are common experiences:

• Deep relaxation. If you lack sleep, you’ll recover it.
• As we have taken distance from the usual stimuli, the nervous system regenerates. We disconnect from our preoccupations and daily worries, calming the mind.
• Detoxification happens thanks to a proper diet and the chemical and hormonal changes. The body comes out of darkness purified.
• Getting deeply in touch with the senses and understanding them more fully.
• When you adjust to the darkness and are fully relaxed, you will discover a world of lights, colours and forms. Very often, the ‘dark room’ is not dark at all!
• Many reconnect to their own creativity.
• Advanced practitioners no longer lose consciousness while sleeping, instead entering a meditative sleep.
• People overcome their fear of darkness and even the fear of death.
• Inner clear vision or the ‘third eye’ becomes accessible. As a result, intuition develops alongside direct information and outside of thought.
• An understanding of invisible planes of existence may occur and therefore a change of paradigm concerning the so-called ‘reality.’
• Vibratory frequency rises, leading to numerous energetic phenomena. These manifestations either balance vital energy (chi or prâna), or they are the vehicle for deep spiritual experiences.
• Teachings surge from within: liberation of the past, access to elevated feelings of grace, or encounters with beings living in other realms. Our practices support the emergence of such spontaneous revelations.
