Healing in Safe Darkness:

Enter into your sacred Space.
Darkened, warm and comfortable.

Shroud yourself with a shawl, blanket, towel, etc.

Vent your complaints out into the darkness.

Take five minutes of silence to rest, compose yourself and breath deeply.

Evaluate your serenity and fulfill your needs.

Is this for cleansing--emotionally and spiritually?

Seems like a healthy way to let some things out.

This ritual is very similar to the idea behind Primal Scream therapy. You go into a safe place, vent all your frustrations, fears etc and come out cleansed spiritually and emotionally.

Love your choices of quotes by the way. I'm a scientist at heart.

Thanks, LOL.

In fact, I tell my best friend rather than take her BS out on her kids or any one else to just call me up, cuss me out, scream, whatever--it helps. I won't be offended, because I know that I haven't done anything to upset her. i have a tough skin.

I may have to try this. I have a tendency to just lock stuff away without outward expression. If I get mad then I just smile-- without really acknowledging the stimulus that has caused me pain, or anger.

I would call her and reciprocate in kind, but she's more sensitive than i am.

I will definitely try this.
