You do not need darkness to meditate. You do not need silence. All that is needed to connect with higher consciousness is a willingness to loosen your grip on this reality you call “life” and fall backwards. In that one statement is more than one statement that is liable to cause the human great fear.  “Loosen my grip on reality?  Are you crazy?” for that is what you call one who has loosened their grip on this reality.  Look around you, friend.  Do you not see more than a few humans who believe they have a firm grip on reality acting in quite a crazy manner?  And what of falling backwards?  “I might get hurt!  And worst of all, I might die.”  Dear one, there is not death, which you will realize when you step quite easily out of your bodily suit and find yourself in another type of reality, and all of it no more or less real than the other.  Let your beliefs fall away and find there the Source of all thoughts, the Source of all be-ing, the Source.  Daily messages to in-spire you with the awareness of the One Awareness that inspires you.
