"The first step of the Night Spirit Stage is Shadow Resonance, and to do that you need to meditate in complete darkness," my mother said.
"Ok. I think there's a walk in closet in a separate room upstairs. If we turn off all the lights and close all the doors, it should be complete darkness," I said.
"Ok, let's go," she said.
We went upstairs, turning off all the lights as we went. Once we were in the walk-in closet and had closed the door, I couldn't see shit. The thing about complete darkness is that your eyes literally can't adjust to it. There has to be a small amount of light for your eyes to adjust.
"Ok, now that we're in complete darkness, we meditate," she said. I heard her shuffle into the lotus position. So I got into the lotus position as well. "Try to tune into the darkness. Become one with the darkness and such."
"How long do we do this for?" I said.
"24 hours," she said.
