There’s a growing research field devoted to modulating brain waves for therapeutic effect. Light Therapy creates stroboscopic light sequences that are may guide users into “altered state of consciousness between deep meditation and classic psychedelics.” research suggests this may be an accessible and effective option for increasing focus, alleviating depression and stress, improving sleep and memory, and slowing the onset of disorders like Alzheimer’s and mild cognitive impairment.
The human brain produces neural oscillations—commonly known as “brain waves”—at different frequencies. Light therapy focuses on Gamma Waves, activities that increase gamma waves in the brain have been shown to improve memory, information processing, problem solving ability, attention span, immunity and cognitive function, and mindfulness. Gamma wave therapy has also shown promise in alleviating dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, mood disorders, and other conditions. It is still a mystery to neuroscientists exactly why these different levels of brain waves exist, but there has been some speculation based on the research so far: “In the 90s, neuroscientists found that ‘the distinct patterns of oscillatory activity during sleep mirrored those during a previous learning exercise. Scientists suggested that these waves could be helping to solidify memories.’ It is also been suggested that brain waves can influence conscious perception.
You will lie on a reclining chair with your eyes closed, listening to paraliminal music that has been carefully crested by Jennie. The session will begin with a short, guided meditation to ease you into a relaxed state from there you will be guided by a combination of light impulses and music into an altered state. The whole session typically lasts around thirty minutes.
Some report relief, relaxation, loss of anxiety, and newfound confidence in their ability to master altered states, as well as building trust towards the individual guiding them on the journey. For some it also seems to have a “psychedelic” quality of its own with dream-like and emotionalizing effects.
If you have a seizure disorder, this treatment is not for you. Even though this type of treatment is generally very safe, rare negative effects may occur. Select patients may complain of irritability, headaches, eye strain and sleep disturbances. Mild visual side effects are not unusual but remit quite promptly.
