Taoist Darkroom Practices
8-24 February 2025
ONLINE Home Retreat with legendary Master Mantak Chia
About Mantak Chia
Grandmaster Mantak Chia is the world’s foremost Taoist Master. He is the only Qigong Master who received The Qigong Master of the Year Award twice. He is the author of 60 books and has 49 years of teaching experience —online and onsite. Students of Master Chia especially like the clarity of the explanations, the many repetitions of practice, and his slow pace. The classes with Mantak Chia are unique, thanks to his ability to transmit energy to his students, online or in the classroom. Many students practicing with Master Chia not only witness the wisdom of primordial violet light during his Energy Transmissions but also begin their initial healing processes.
What Makes Meditations in Darkness Unique?
Meditating in complete darkness allows your brain to activate its deepest centers, such as the Crystal Palace glands, enhancing energy flow and expanding consciousness. The sensory deprivation of darkness creates the perfect environment for accessing higher states of awareness and unlocking your inner potential.
You will receive step-by-step explanations and detailed guidance from Grandmaster Mantak Chia on meditations and advanced Taoist practices, including Fusion, Lesser Kan & Li, and Greater Kan & Li.
This Taoist Darkness Meditations Retreat is for you if you are:
Looking to experience complete stillness in the darkness to reset your biological clock and to access higher states of consciousness and wisdom.
Willing to deepen your meditation practice and start to see the Primordial light
Looking to experience Advanced Taoist meditations and spiritual transformation through higher level practices

Retreat Program
Week 1 | 8-12 February | Darkroom essential meditations.
Prerequisites for this week: Fusion I, II and III.
Sat 8 February: Introduction and Energy Transmission (with lights on)
Sun 9 – Wed 12 February: Deep meditations in darkness focused on creating an Energy Body and the Pearl of Consciousness.
During this week, guided by Grandmaster Mantak Chia, you will practice Fusion I, II, and III, combining emotions, natural forces, and life energy into a unified flow. These advanced Taoist techniques include
- Fusion I: Balance inner energy by merging negative and positive emotions, fostering harmony between your inner and outer worlds.
- Fusion II: Move the “pearl of radiant energy” through your internal organs, unlocking vital channels and strengthening your auric field.
- Fusion III: Open key energy channels, such as the Greater Bridge and Regulator Channels, and clear blockages to access higher frequencies of the Universal Force.
This week is fully practice-focused, with no theory, offering a profound experience of energy work in complete darkness.
Week 2 | 15-18 February | Lesser Kan & Li
Prerequisites for this week: Fusion I, II and III.
Lesser Enlightenment of Kan & Li involves cleansing and rejuvenating the glands and organs using neutral energy (steam) generated by the inverting and coupling of the primal polarities of Fire and Water.
The higher Inner Alchemy Formulas, which traditionally were practiced in caves, are taught in a complete darkness environment, which has been specially created to facilitate the teaching and practice of higher-level Taoist Alchemical Meditation.
Week 3 | 21-24 February | Greater Kan & Li
Prerequisites for this week: Lesser Kan & Li
Taoists believe that the soul and spirit come from the stars and ultimately must return to them to find their origins. To do this, one must first gather and refine the energies of the soul and spirit until they are as pure as the Original Force.
By harnessing energy from the Earth, the planets, the Big Dipper and the North Star, we gain spiritual power and the ability to merge with stellar forces. These meditation practices are targeted upon strengthening the body and the spirit on all levels.
You will learn to activate the cauldron at the Solar Plexus and increase the amount Qi
