🙂 First step back into the light
Well, I feel great. That was the very first thing that came to mind when the door opened and I stepped outside. The sun had come out and the whole world suddenly felt different. My head was spinning for a while and I needed a moment to get my bearings, but a walk round the garden was enough for everything to fall into place. It felt absolutely amazing.🌿 Expectations and going into the dark
I went into DARKNESS THERAPY with certain expectations. I knew exactly what I wanted from it, and I have to say it came true. What I expected from it, I really got. The DARK RETREAT gave me space to slow down and be with myself without any distractions.🌒 Three days that flowed differently
I chose three days. At first I thought that was the ideal length. But as the end got closer, it struck me: “Blimey, maybe I’ve only just started getting used to it.” Suddenly I felt I was really beginning to sense the silence and the rhythm of the dark. It wasn’t boredom, more a gradual sinking in.🧘♂️ Being with myself
I know I can cope with my own company pretty well. I don’t need someone constantly talking to me or distracting me. That’s exactly why DARKNESS THERAPY suited me. In the silence I didn’t have to sort anything out, prove anything or rush anywhere. My thoughts calmed down and my body adjusted naturally.🌘 When the mind creates images
My sense of space was interesting too. Sometimes it seemed to me that I could see something in the dark. But once I walked into a wall at a moment when I thought I could see, I realised that I actually couldn’t see anything at all. That moment was powerful and very instructive at the same time. It showed me how the mind can create its own reality.☀️ Back to the sun
Once I was back outside, what I wanted most was to sit on a little chair in the sun and let it warm me up. I was a bit cold by then, and I felt the warmth of the sun much more intensely than before. The DARK RETREAT changed the way I perceive ordinary things.🌾 What I’m taking with me
DARKNESS THERAPY wasn’t an escape for me, but a return. A return to simplicity, to calm and to myself. And that’s exactly the feeling I’m taking with me into everyday life.Would you like to know more about the dark retreat guides?
