It helps visualization. You can play a form of blindfold chess here at chess.com by selecting the blindfold option from piece style settings. You could try unrated live games against much weaker opponents.

A good way to start visualizing the board to prepare for playing blindfold is think of a random chess square in your head. Now try to visualize the board. Is the square you are thinking of a black or white square? Don't know? Well remember that whites left corner (A-1) is a black square and the right corner (H-1) is white. With that information you should now be able to mentally find the color of the square you are thinking of.
