UNBELIEVABLE: How 3 Days Of Darkness Can Rewrite Your Life | Matt Omo

from Let It In with Guy Lawrence · host Guy Lawrence

#412 In this podcast episode, Guy talked with Matt Omo in Bali after Matt completed a darkness retreat of three days and four nights. Matt explained he felt called to do it after hearing about darkness retreats on a podcast and wanting a "next evolution" in his work, then described choosing a heart-led, family-run retreat led by a Finnish woman and her Balinese husband.  He recounted an energetic clearing and waterfall blessing, entering a pitch-black cabin with meal delivery through a light-proof hatch, and quickly meeting intense mind activity, claustrophobia, altered time sense, heightened night vision, and ayahuasca-like visuals. Matt described using routines, meditation, breathwork, and grounding stones, a symbolic Jesus-related vision and crown-pressure release, and leaving with intentions of more peace, love, kindness, gratitude, and self-kindness, while noting the difficult sensory readjustment after. About Matt: Matt Omo is a leader of the sound healing movement in Australia with over 15 years of experience working with a variety of sound healing techniques bridging cultures and traditions from around the world. The work and awareness around sound healing and its benefits are growing every day.
