Benefits I experienced

After emerging from my 8-day darkroom, I felt the physical effects immediately.

I felt 5 years younger with greater core physical strength. I was no longer tired. Though never an insomniac, my sleep in the darkroom is the best quality I have ever had. My eyesight had noticeably improved.

From memory, I noticed the increase in capabilities over the first week or so, the “aftermath”.

The Aftermath was distinctive in that it contrasted with the months prior to the retreat. It was a period of increased capacity:
– gained clarity in thinking
– could make decisions faster
– had a clearer direction
– had an overall increase in confidence
– could speak more directly ie without hesitation
– both physical and mental tasks were easier.
– living became “easier”

Through study, I have since experienced a greater understanding of the soul-body connection. In other words, our psychology is inextricably connected to our physiology. Specifically, all physical maladies, injuries, illness and disease have their origin in the action of the mind.

A hygienic darkroom provides the ultimate conditions for rest, for the whole organism to heal itself, including the psyche. There is no superior arrangement in existence on earth. And anyone can build a hygienic darkroom –  Marion
