Inner Darkness

In a moonless or deeply dark setting, keep the eyes open and look into real darkness, allowing it to enter you rather than creating mental imagery.

Open-endedCore: Witnessing

Practice style

  1. Choose a safe and completely dark environment.
  2. Keep the eyes open and look into the darkness in a relaxed way.
  3. Do not search for shapes; let darkness itself fill the field.
Do Not Lose the Witness
The method is only an entrance. Whether it uses breath, dance, sound, darkness, sitting, or relationship, what matters most is gradually seeing what is happening rather than only chasing an experience.
Body Safety Note (website addition)
Put comfort and safety first. Stop if you experience significant dizziness, pain, difficulty breathing, or loss of balance. Intense breathing, whirling, or breath-retention practices are not suitable for everyone.
