Harnessing the Healing Power of Flickering Light: The potential effects of The Hypnagogic Light Experience on Vitality & Wellbeing

Understanding the Hypnagogic Light Experience

Definition of the Hypnagogic Light Experience

The Hypnagogic Light Experience (HLE), refers to a powerful and transformative practice that involves the use of flickering light to induce a state of deep relaxation and altered consciousness. This unique experience combines the effects of light stimulation and meditation to create a deeply calming and rejuvenating effect on both the mind and body. It is also considered a form of hypnagogic hallucination, which are sensory experiences that occur during the period of time when a person is drifting from wakefulness to sleep.

How the Hypnagogic Light Experience is induced

The Hypnagogic Light Experience can be induced by using The Lucia N°03. This device emits a series of pulsating lights, which flicker at specific frequencies. These flickering lights can synchronize brainwave activity, what can lead to a state of heightened awareness and relaxation.

Theoretical framework behind the Hypnagogic Light Experience

The theoretical framework behind the Hypnagogic Light Experience is rooted in neuroscience and psychology. It is believed that the flickering light stimulates the brain's natural alpha and theta brainwave frequencies, which are associated with relaxation, creativity, and deep states of meditation.

NeuroArt

Art offers an opportunity to immerse yourself in the freedom of the mind. The art experience as part of the Hypnagogic Light Experience is thus understood as direct access to the level of the mind and attitude.

In classical art, the artist is the main protagonist. In modern art, the role of the artist extends to the viewer of the artwork.

NeuroArt goes one step further:

The hypnagogic experience of light, induced by Lucia N°03, gives the viewer an experience that is generated entirely by him or herself. Just as sounds can be experienced as melodies through their sequence, the frequency sequence of pulsed light combined with constant light in Lucia N°03 creates an overall experience that can be described as an optical counterpart to music.
The Lucia N°03 technology makes it possible to create a work of art as a unique, multidimensional cascade of color and form every moment anew and to enjoy it at the same time.

- The viewer is the artist.
- Creation and perception are one.

Without borders, the artist enters the imaginarium of his dreams as a traveler.

How do brain waves change when interacting with flickering light?

When exposed to light, the brain changes its electrical activity. The pineal gland (glandula pinealis) is stimulated to produce consciousness-activating hormones, which have a significant influence on the day-night rhythm. This small light organ, deep inside the brain, has always been the subject of speculation. It is not without good reason that the pineal gland is often called the “third eye”. In the tuatara, a living fossil, the third eye still has a lens rudiment and pupil muscles innervated by the sympathetic nervous system.

Tissue cells similar to those found in the eye have also been detected histologically in the area surrounding the human pineal gland. Although many questions in this regard are still unanswered by science, it is known that the functional circuit of the pineal gland serves to balance the organism and its environment. The hypnagogic light experience uses our natural visual sensory channel to illustrate the correlation between the state of consciousness, brain waves and hormone release. An analysis of the brain activity recorded in the process shows the image of increasing harmonization (see illustration), which, depending on the characteristics of the light and the willingness of the observer, corresponds to a state of deep relaxation combined with maximum concentration. The activity of the brain is reflected in the eye of the observer in scenarios never seen before and he learns to influence it like a virtuoso musician (bidirectional neurofeedback). This phenomenon of central vision in the hypnagogic light experience leads to a fusion of object and subject.

Heliotropic Breathing

Workshop with Dr. Engelbert Winkler


“Would you like a psychedelic experience without drugs? Would you like to learn a breathing technique that can take you to other states of consciousness without Lucia? Have you been doing breathing exercises for a while and want to take them to a new level?”

The breathing exercises are first practiced without the Lucia N°03 meditation lamp and then in combination with it. The breathing technique developed by Dr. Winkler, which he calls heliotropic breathing (from the Greek helios = sun god, sun; trop from trepein = to go towards something), aims to maintain transcendental and hypnagogic states of consciousness for longer and to enable easier control in these states through breathing.
The breathing technique described here combines different approaches and is based on a wide range of experiences. In combination with the Lucia light instrument, psychedelic levels of consciousness can be reached very quickly. Prerequisites: The workshop is aimed at people who are interested in or already have experience with altered states of consciousness. It is also assumed that participants do not suffer from epilepsy.
