Hallucinations in Darkness Revealed - Dr Tara Swart on The Diary Of A CEO

#darkretreat #hallucinations #neardeathexperience

I'm going to do a 2 month #DarkRetreat this summer. Here's a photo of the room (below ;-)

The primary practice will be Internal Trataka - eg observing the lights / images produced by the mind. This becomes quite easy in the dark. The images appear before you in space - and they are quite bright in the darkness. This is a Samatha practice but I will frequently let go of the images and allow them to dissolve. In other words, #Samatha will be used as a basis for #vipassana
