In a nutshell, what are mind machines?
Mind machines are tools that help you enter altered states of consciousness (also called neurotechnology, or psychotechnology). Primarily, the term "mind machine" refers to light & sound machines, but also includes a broader range of tools like biofeedback devices, sleep & lucid dreaming tools, and binaural beat technology like Hemi-Sync. These cutting edge devices are rapidly becoming tools of choice to explore beginning or advanced meditation, self hypnosis, sleep and dream enhancement, learning, consciousness expansion, or stress management just to name a few.
Light and sound machines produce specific, rhythmic pulses of light and sound patterns which can be perceived as complex colors, shapes or even feelings. We know the human brain has a certain rhythm when relaxed, another rhythm when focused, and so on. During a light and sound session, your overall brain rhythms, or frequencies, begin to follow the type of session (and therefore frequency) you choose.
If you want to relax for example, the lights will gently pulsate at a frequency in the alpha range - as that is the frequency of a relaxed human brain. When stimulated as such, your brain begins to actually enter that mental state. The session types can be quite elaborate, including those for specific meditations, energizing, visualization, right or left hemisphere stimulation, sleep, or dazzling entertainment! That's just to name a few.

Great for people who want a large library of sessions to choose from. A microphone input and the ability to run two people simultaneously makes this a great choice for professionals. Can operate glasses with 2 colors of LEDs. |
The Procyon is state of the art. It controls 255 shades each of red, blue and green and has clear digital sound. It's great for people who love many colors and complex experiences. |
The MindSpa is a high-end choice for those desiring quaility and effectiveness. It comes with two pairs of unique glasses containing micro LEDs spaced further apart, providing a greater degree of stimulation (one pair with super-bright white, and the other pair with blue LEDS). Retractable glasses and earbud cords. Great for stress control and enhanced learning. |
