What is a Dark Room Retreat? I share my 20-day experience

Darkness Retreat is a powerful meditation practice that increases the level of intensity. It is well used in Buddist and Taoist practices to deepen spiritual practices. I did a 20-day Darkness Retreat in Thailand and I share how it was in this video. A dark retreat is a solo retreat in a space that is absent of light.   / earthdomeskohphangan   The point is to stay in complete darkness and not get exposed to any source of light whatsoever. It took a great deal to close off any source of light and to create proper ventilation. Being in complete darkness creates all sorts of changes in perceptions, and it will enhance your practice. It’s an inner journey. It also regenerates and reset your system. The dark retreats also have a profound effect on rejuvenation and healing, as stated in many traditions from Ayurveda to Taoism.

Two monolith earth domes surrounded by the forest. Inside, it feels like being in full nature, sounds of birds, crickets, wind and rain, yet no light comes in. The domes are fully sealed and offer a complete safety barrier with the jungle. Koh Phangan has a lot to offer before and after your retreat, its a prime destination for yoga and other forms of spirituality. The long Dark Retreat requires stability in the natural state. You can intuitively know that you need some experience in meditation and silent retreats to apply for extended retreats. However, sitting a 3-day retreat can be a great opener to this ancient practice.
