The Ultimate Mental Challenge: Embracing the Darkness

In a world addicted to noise and motion, this course dares you to enter the dark. No screens, no goals—just you, your breath, and the truth that emerges when everything else fades. Each session peels back the layers, revealing what’s real beneath the rush. It’s raw. It’s honest. And in the stillness, something ancient stirs awake.

The 10-Day Darkness Meditation Course + 90-Day Challenge

Inspired by Osho's teachings, this immersive 10-day Darkness Meditation Course is your gateway to the transformative power of stillness, silence, and the void.

Using a Mindfold or similar eye mask, you’ll meditate with your eyes open, gazing into pure darkness. Here, darkness is not the absence of light—it is the womb of creation, the formless field where all life begins and ends.

The first 10 days are guided. You’ll start with 10 minutes on Day 1, increasing by 5 minutes each day until you reach a full hour on Day 10. Along the way, custom-designed binaural beats and alpha state soundscapes will help calm your nervous system, dissolve fear, and support deep presence.

By Day 10, the soundscapes gradually give way to complete silence—inviting ego to dissolve and the infinite peace within you to rise.

These 10 days are just the beginning.

You’ll then be fully equipped to begin the 90-Day Darkness Challenge: a personal commitment to continue this practice daily, carrying the stillness and self-awareness you've cultivated into a deeper journey of self-discovery.

What You’ll Gain in 10 Days

What You’ll Gain in 10 Days *

  • Discover how to sit with resistance and uncomfortability, allowing the darkness to bring suppressed fears and patterns to the surface so you can release them with compassion and strength.

  • Learn to face and dissolve fears by embracing the unknown.

  • Experience fear not as an enemy but as a teacher. By embracing the unknown and surrendering to the void, you’ll dissolve the mental and emotional barriers that hold you back.

  • Train your mind to rest in the here and now. Free from distractions, you’ll develop a profound sense of awareness and clarity, learning to witness your thoughts and emotions without judgment.

  • Feel your body and mind enter an unparalleled state of relaxation as the darkness becomes a sanctuary for your deepest truths to emerge, free from external noise and demands.

The world teaches us to fear the darkness, but it is in the darkness that life begins and ends. Step into the womb of creation.

The Darkness Meditation Course invites you to step away from the collective rhythm of modern Western culture, a relentless hum that drives us to do, to achieve, to perform. It is a culture of constant striving—one where rest feels indulgent and stillness, almost impossible. In this space, where our identities are intertwined with productivity, the idea of simply being can feel like stepping into an unknown, unlit void.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

This course isn’t designed to be comfortable or easy. A darkness retreat, even for just one hour a day, is not a peak experience. It’s not an escape or a moment of glory. It is raw, exposing, and deeply intimate. It brings you face-to-face with what already exists within you—the parts of yourself you’ve been managing, covering, or avoiding for years.
In darkness, there is nowhere to hide. The compulsion to fix, improve, or achieve something—even in your own spiritual practice—falls away. What remains is simple honesty: the ability to sit with what is naturally and spontaneously happening in your body and mind, no matter how uncomfortable or ordinary it may seem.
This practice is not about striving for transformation or chasing an elevated state of being. It is about dismantling the layers of self-deception that keep us tethered to the dream of a “better” self. It is about feeling the rawness of lack, the resistance we carry, and the sensations we’ve buried beneath years of conditioning.
What emerges is not grand or dramatic—it is profoundly simple. A slow, fundamental shift occurs as you allow yourself to truly see, feel, and experience what is present, without the compulsion to change or control it. It is a return to awareness. Vulnerable. Intimate. Exposed. And ultimately, brand new.
The path through darkness is challenging, more so than you might imagine. It demands honesty, patience, and the willingness to confront the parts of yourself you’ve been avoiding. But in that stillness, when you stop running and simply are, you may find something extraordinary waiting—a quiet, steady connection to the deepest truths of your being.

OSHO

“If you can love darkness, you will become unafraid of death. To enter into darkness is to achieve total relaxation. It is a surrender, a dissolving of the self, where you become one with the infinite and deathless.”

OSHO

“Darkness is not the absence of light; it is the womb of creation. All forms arise out of darkness and dissolve into it. Darkness is the cosmic mother, the infinite stillness from which everything is born and to which everything returns.”

How the 10-Day Journey Works

Day 1: Begin with 10 Minutes of Darkness

Your journey starts with just 10 minutes of open-eyed meditation in complete darkness, supported by calming soundscapes and binaural beats designed to gently activate alpha brainwaves. These frequencies promote relaxation, mental clarity, and a deep sense of presence, helping you ease into the practice without overwhelm.

Days 2–10: Gradual Growth and Transformation

Each day, you’ll add 5 minutes to your meditation, steadily building your capacity for stillness and focus. By Day 10, you’ll sit for a full hour in the transformative stillness of darkness. This progression allows you to gradually release resistance, confront fears, and cultivate profound relaxation and self-awareness.

Daily Structure:

  • Guided Meditations: Audio cues support you in settling into the practice, helping you navigate any fears or resistance that arise.

  • Binaural Beats and Healing Soundscapes: Frequencies tuned to activate alpha brainwaves encourage relaxation, presence, and deep mental clarity.

  • Reflection Prompts: Journaling exercises invite you to process your insights and emotions, deepening your connection to the experience.

Beyond the First 10 Days: Continuing the 90-Day Journey

The 10 days are just the beginning. With this strong foundation, you’ll be equipped to continue the remaining 80 days of the challenge at your own pace. Each session builds on the last, guiding you deeper into:

  • Emotional Healing: Confront and release buried emotions, cultivating radical self-acceptance.

  • Inner Stillness: Break free from the endless cycle of striving and rediscover your natural state of being.

  • Cosmic Awareness: Experience the infinite interconnectedness of existence and transcend the fear of death.

  • Timeless Presence: Learn to live fully in the present moment, free from the distractions of past and future.

By the end of the full 90-day journey, you’ll not only have transformed your relationship with darkness but also gained a profound sense of resilience, clarity, and inner peace. Darkness will no longer be a space of fear—it will become your sanctuary for self-discovery and growth.

A Radical Journey of Self-Acceptance

FAQs

Will this be uncomfortable?


Yes, discomfort is a natural part of the process. When I spent 90 days in the dark, the first few days were profoundly uncomfortable. My body rebelled, my mind raced, and I felt the full weight of my resistance. That resistance wasn’t just to the darkness—it was to what is. All the subtle ways I had been managing my experience—seeking significance, insulating myself from discomfort, and distracting myself with constant activity—came rushing to the surface. This course helps you meet that resistance, soften into it, and discover the profound stillness on the other side.

Why meditate with my eyes open in the darkness?

Meditating with your eyes open in total darkness is a unique and powerful practice. It teaches you to confront the void directly, to see without light, and to dissolve the illusion of separation. By wearing a Mindfold mask or meditating in a completely dark room, you’ll experience the formless void as the womb of creation itself—a space where fear dissolves, and clarity emerges.

How do the soundscapes help, and why do they stop?

The binaural beats are designed to guide your brain into a relaxed and focused alpha state, acting as a bridge to help you ease into stillness and face any initial fears or resistance. They create a supportive environment for deep relaxation and mental clarity. By the final days, the soundscapes fade away, allowing you to sit in complete silence. This transition helps you build inner resilience and trust your ability to rest fully in the darkness without external support.

What happens after the 10 days?

The 10 days are just the beginning. They are designed to prepare you for the full 90-day darkness challenge, which you’ll complete independently. By the end of this course, you’ll have the tools, confidence, and mindset to deepen your practice at your own pace, continuing to explore the transformative power of stillness and darkness.

What if I feel fear or panic in the darkness?

Fear is a natural response to the unknown, and it may arise during this practice. This course teaches you how to meet fear with openness and curiosity, rather than resistance. Guided meditations and soundscapes will help you stay grounded, and you’ll learn to observe fear as a passing sensation rather than something to avoid. Over time, fear transforms into a sense of peace and acceptance.

Is this course suitable for beginners?

Yes! This course is designed for meditators of all levels. The gradual progression from 10 minutes to 1 hour of meditation ensures that you can build your capacity for stillness at a manageable pace. Whether you’re new to meditation or an experienced practitioner, this course offers a unique opportunity for growth and transformation.
