Complete darkness changes the sensory sensibilities of the body /brain. Emotional and feeling states are enhanced, especially the sense of smell and the finer senses of psychic perception. Dreams become more lucid. Eventually we awaken within ourselves the awareness of the source, the spirit the soul. All spiritual traditions have used Dark Room techniques throughout the ages, referring to it as perfect inner alchemy Chamber.

Dark Room Enlightenment Program

The first few days will be used to make up for any sleep deficiency and relax the body from its daily stress. Sleeping 12-14 hours a day, will promote healthy amounts of melatonin. We will meditate and use breath to transform negative attitudes. The energy created by the breathing will bring up this old material in the form of thoughts, emotion, thought-forms or physical sensation. The Dark Room meditation will influence each person uniquely, depending on their maturity and spiritual development.

DAY 1-3
Complete isolation from external light causes the pineal gland to flood the brain with the neuro-transmit melatonin.
During the 3 days one has the chance to catch up all the lost sleep that has occurred over the last few years. This stage will be very important in the overall process. Christ spent 3 days days in the caves near the Dead Sea utilizing this metamorphic process, which is conducive to a very gradual death of the ego.

DAY 3-5
The pineal gland starts to increase the production of pinoline whereby a greater fluidity of thought

and healing of the body starts to occur.

DAY 6-8
At this stage the pineal gland will produce the neurohormone 5-MeO-DMT (tryptamine is highly luminescent). The neurotransmitter 5-MeO-DMT is normally only active when we are in the womb, it is now reactivated in the darkroom. A bright light will be activated. This great white light enables the self to project externally.
Many exercises will be practiced during this period.

Fresh juices and soup will be served with and organic meals in the afternoon.

All food will be light and easily digestible prepared by Lydia Harmon.
