When I was first asked if I wanted to light travel, the only response I could muster was: “Huh?” But after a little research, I was all in.

Light travel is a practice pioneered by neurologist and psychologist Dirk Proeckl and clinical psychologist and psychotherapist Engelbert Winkler. Flashing light patterns, most commonly facilitated by a lamp called Lucia N°03, theoretically allow you to enter a deep meditative state.

Sky Studio Lucia clients who have included Light meditation into their wellness practice each have a story of how it has profoundly shifted something for them. We most commonly hear about improvements in areas of those living with, SAD, depression, anxiety, inability to stop the negative self talk, inability to meditate making it impossible to enjoy the many benefits of entering the deepest states of meditation, including, theta and gamma as seen during brain mapping during light sessions.

The very origins of human beings and our capacity for self consciousness is shrouded in mystery. Even today in the 21st century when we reach for the stars, we wonder at the nature of our inner reality, we pause to question our relationship with nature, with each other, with ourselves.

Science collects information quicker than people can attain wisdom. We know freedom is not a given but a hard choice, a road that takes us towards the light, a journey of truth and the sombre realization that we need not star ships - but mirrors. We need to know again who we really are.
