Dark Room Meditation (darkness Meditation)

[Vercingetorix]

Anyone experienced with it?
Basically you sit for an hour in Pitch black room (if you wave your hand in front of your eyes you can't see them), you keep your eyes open, and you don't move.
I recommend doing Strong Determination sittings with Do nothing and Darkness.

notes: better to do it at night when it's dark outside, and earliest possible after sunset  (as the "Freshness" of the darkness play a part in the practice ).

I use an eye mask to achieve darkness. Also earplugs for the  complete package ;D

really nice if you wanna have a good focus on the body or enter formless concentrations states

also very educative on how the mind keeps producing the center point through mental images

I did this often as a child just staring at the roof in a pitch black room and sometimes i would start to see colorful patterns and sacred geometric shapes, fractals and what not similar to early stages of a DMT, dreams or Psychedelic trip or deeper meditation states or similar to closed eye visuals you sometimes get of cannabis.

If i can remember clearly i would really try to see through the darkness and i think in those moments i had sparks of natural DMT-Release(if you will) which caused the visuals to appear.

what do you mean "producing the center point through mental images" ?


@pluto IT's really plausible, in some religious tradition there are darkness retreats where you enter a dark cave/room for extended periods of time and after a few day the mind starts to produce Tons of DMT.


My meditation teacher told that this meditation is also really effective on DISMANTLING the subconscious. Sometimes I  think I can kind of feel it.

@Vercingetorix  fabricating a sense of center to the field of sensations

[Vercingetorix]

@Flicker_boy Do you mean the the false center that convince the ego it exists?
So this meditation can help to see "you" are not located in that point? I'll have to focus on it next session.

Hello!

I do this all the time in my steam tent! I've got it perfectly pitch black in there. Is anyone still on this thread? If so please respond! If you'd like to discuss this process please email me at joelbobmcgee@gmail.com

I have full visions and can actually bend my visual reality to be whatever I want. I can explain my process and help you understand how to enhance this process so you get the best results possible!
