A surprising light and sound experience

Ovarium spa presents Pulsar, a « light and sound » experience which will rapidly open your consciousness to the particular effects of meditation.

"Doing" a Pulsar session also opens a door to a state of consciousnesses encouraging deep relaxation, meditation, creativity and the intuition.

Pulsar is a device that includes a miniature control unit, a pair of goggles that position tiny electroluminescent diodes (LED) in front of each eye, and stereo headphones. The control unit is a sophisticated micro-computer that regulates the intensity and frequency of the flickering lights and rhythmic pulsing sounds. The combined emission of light and sound induces frequencies that lead to the state of mind corresponding to the pre-set program (speed and rates of light and rhythms) beforehand.

The ease at which you will be able to enjoy the benefits of meditation will surprise you. Pulsar is also the ideal prelude to a floating bath or a massage therapy session.

What is Pulsar? (known as a mind machine)

In the 1940's a researcher by the name of Gray Walter discovered that when a person was subjected to a light flashing at a certain frequency, their brain wave activity would fall in sync with the flashing of the lights. Since then, other researchers have learned more about brain waves and several devices of flickering lights and rhythmic pulsing sounds were invented to further develop the exploration of brain waves entrainment.

The photic drive (photic means light)

Each brain neurons has a set rate/rhythm which corresponds to the activity it controls. The subterfuge used by Pulsar consists of drawing the attention of the numerous neurons programmed to react to light and sounds for example and making them switch to this deep relaxation pulsing rhythm and keep that same rhythm.

By “empathy”, other areas of the brain will soon join the dance, since there is no other distraction. The combined action of the frequencies of the light and the sounds ensures an optimal stimulation.

The combined effects of having both the photic and the auditory portions of the brain stimulated in synchrony can be profound, and can last long after a Pulsar session.

Harmonization and synchronization

The society in which we live and the professional environment in which we work force the majority of us to select logic (the left hemisphere of the brain) rather than trying to find a just balance by developing the aptitudes of the right hemisphere, the seat of the emotions, the creativity and the intuition.

Pulsar improves the dialogue between these two hemispheres allowing:

• to multiply by ten intellectual abilities in a phenomenal way;
• to solve complex problems;
• to put into concrete form highly creative ideas.

Pulsar quickly releases you from stress !

Pulsar as demonstrated its benefits among people affected by : 

• Insomnia
• Tinnitus
• Migraines
• Hyperactivity

Efficient stress reduction

Moreover, since the “light and sound” stimulus influences the level of endorphins in our body, you can also benefit fully and safely from the known analgesic and euphoric effects of the dopamine and the serotonin, as well from a reduced level of adrenalin (stress hormone).

At the end of a session, one feels serene. One can also feel some detachment and a rejuvenating freshness of the mind… just like awakening from a nap. These benefits can be felt during hours, even days after a Pulsar session.
