Show Notes

Recently I spent a week in complete darkness at a dark retreat. And very soon, I was faced with something I didn't expect: Anxiety. I wasn't even halfway through my first day of darkness, and out-of-control anxious thoughts kept appearing, and I had no idea how I'd make it through a week of darkness.

Until eventually I realized what the cause of all these anxious thoughts was, and how I could transform all that nervous energy into peaceful presence.
