The intersection of neuroscience and meditation are inspiring so many personal stories of transformation and an explosion of research. We’ve collected some of our own, as well as others we think you’ll find interesting or informative.
We’ve also bundled the studies that are key for understanding the basis of research supporting NeuroMeditation in an annotated bibliography.
The results from this single person case study suggest the Roxiva light can be an effective tool for inducing specific states of consciousness, including hypnosis or deep state meditation. These effects are likely to be increased if the light is used in conjunction with specific intention setting, meditative techniques, or guidance.
“As a psychologist, I am trained to examine human consciousness. In fact, I have made a career out of studying the brain’s electrical activity as it relates to different meditative approaches. Not surprisingly, this work has led to the study of various non-ordinary states of consciousness that can be achieved through use of psychedelics, breathwork, and virtual reality. In these explorations I have also bumped into various states of consciousness that challenge what we think we know about how the mind works…”
