Today, after 7 nights, I finally crawled out of the sanctuary set aside for darkness therapy.
I had been looking forward so much to finishing my darkness therapy, but in the end I found I was nervous about looking at the world again. After all, when I first walked into the darkness therapy sanctuary, it was something new for me. After 7 days I knew the sanctuary, I had got to know it bit by bit, and now I’m supposed to leave my comfort zone all over again?
Enough darkness therapy, out into the world!
Phew, I did it and I’m really outside. If you would like to go through your own birth again, when everything seems new to you, pay the sanctuary a visit – darkness therapy is just the thing for you. The whole world is new to me. I caught myself just staring at a tree behind the sanctuary for half an hour 🙂
“Maruš, relax, this happens here all the time,” the guide reassures me 🙂
What brought me to darkness therapy?
I caught myself realising that my life was hurtling downhill like an avalanche. I wasn’t even sure whether it was my fault, fate’s or my relatives’. I just got up in the morning and looked forward to the evening, when I could collapse into bed and fall into a coma.
Today it’s different, though. After that week of “rest” I can see that it’s far more important to live every moment, to be here and now.
Thank you so much for the darkness therapy, and I’m sure we’ll meet again some day.
Marie, Liberec
