In the darkness of the mother’s womb, cosmos bestows six senses to all. The sixth sense is the third eye, which sees beyond the limitations of time and space. Sixth sense is the intuition; it’s the wisdom of the way through every block. It is the neutral space that sees beyond the push and pull of life. It’s our link with the unknown.

Every child is born with this sixth sense, but when the child is taking birth, the child is immediately exposed to bright lights that shut off the sixth sense. When the sixth sense shuts off, one gets stuck in the realm of time and space, action and reaction, the realm of Duality —its called Samsara.

In the Dark Retreat we are creating the womb-like experience again, the cocooning of our material structure and experiencing cosmic original darkness. The sacred space of Dark Retreat is the vortex of alchemy representing the Hiranyagarbha; the primordial womb. It is an opportunity to awaken the sixth sense again. It’s about owning what was taken away from you at birth.

In this darkness, the mind begins to wander freely in the vast realms of psychic experiences. Complete darkness profoundly changes the sensory sensitivities of the body and brain. Along with enhanced finer senses of psychic perception, darkness also slows down aging.

When you enter this primordial state of darkness, you are reunited with your true self. You become receptive to ‘conduct’ the cosmic energy. In prolonged practice, you may see into the past and future, and understand the true meaning of existence.

The darkness environment dramatically alters the chemistry of the brain and rejuvenates the brain cells. Darkness activates Sahasrar, the 10th gate which corresponds to the Pineal gland in the Physical body. It is the remote control while you are on earth to navigate the reality of time and space.

The 10th gate, from the perspective of yogic science, establishes our connection with the original source and frees us from mental fatigue, negative muscle memory, depression and stress that we store in our cells.

Direct perception of reality is experienced — the naked awareness; freedom from emotions and situations, and sometimes visions similar to those seen in Ayahuasca are experienced. Eventually, we awaken within ourselves, the awareness of the Source; we enter into the void, inner space, the realm of ALL possibilities.

The Darkness meditation releases us from the bonds of the Earth. No longer controlled by the rotating power of the Earth, the Sun and the Moon, the organs vibrate in unison with the heavenly stars — especially the Dhruv & Sapat Rishi Mandala, north star and Big dipper respectively. When you start vibrating with the heavenly bodies, this creates an environment for Karmic healing to happen.

The North Star, which is un-moving and unwavering in space, emanates violet rays throughout the galaxy, affecting every living cell on our planet. The Big Dipper gathers all the violet light from the universe, and emanates the light as infra-red radiant energy. The emanation of infra-red light of the Big Dipper, combined with the violet rays of the North Star, has a positive, nurturing effect upon the maintenance of our bodies and minds, and it slows the aging process.

In the wild, when animals have been injured, they retrieve into dark caves to rejuvenate and heal. The effect of darkness shuts down cognitive functions in the brain centers and promotes the natural abilities of the body to heal itself.

In the realm of plants, it’s the darkness of the earth that creates the space for the seed to blossom into its full potential.

In this transformation, we will also be receiving Shamanic Healing with Shamanic Healer and curandera, Zohra Venus – Chaskalucero who will take you through a shamanic clearing process and quantum healing to align and connect you deep into your essence. This guided process will open the doorways of your heart and connect you to the cosmic heart, which will open you to the flow state.
