Raj, Namaste. That was very meaningful what you shared at the end. Thank you very much for it. I've never done a dark retreat. Have only practised yoga in total pitch darkness for no longer than 30 minute stretches. I did have a silent retreat at a monastery for an week once. But I could still hear the birds and the water and the bees and the rain and the wind. Some call it sensory deprivation, but rather, constructively perceiving it, it it seemed to me more like a mental and spiritual refocus from that of a singular object or topic towards more how the self harmoniously integrates into the overall system of systems that makes the truth. Almost like a gradual movement from doing to seeing and defining , seeing without defining to simply being.

BTW, if you bring the pinkies up and touch their tips together in the same manner as your index fingers and thumbs, that turns it into the Anahata Mudra. 🙂

I do that naturally sometimes too :) Good eye.

I saw light seeping in around the edges of the darkened sky light. It just doesn’t work unless there is absolutely no light. I wouldn’t want to wear a mask. They’re trying and some might like the amenities, but this place is a no go for me.

That wasn't light, it was just part of the covering for the sky light on the roof. I assure you there is no light coming into the dark room. The darkness was the same with my eyes closed or open in there. I didn't wear a mask in there for 4 days. I just wore it to reveal the light when I exited the dark.
