Comments:This exercise forces you to rely on senses other than sight. You might be amazed at how much you rely on sight for so many things.

You must surrender and allow yourself to be cared for. This is a spiritual exercise. Something about being deprived of sight gives you the opportunity to go more deeply inside to the quiet center of the cyclone of your consciousness.
