Focus on the light

This is only for those still struggling with the breathing exercises after four sessions.

The objective is to use both the hypnotic power of the variation of the luminous intensity to help you let go, and the visual focus to occupy your brain.

 

Exercise

Don’t try to synchronize your breathing with the rhythm of the light.

Rather, keep your eyes open and try to focus on the variation of the luminous

intensity.

Focus about 70% of your attention on the variation of the light’s intensity. Feel your pupils widen slightly when the halo expands and retract when it shrinks.

Likewise, feel them slightly retract when the halo is shrinking.

Let your mind be distracted by the rhythm of the light on the ceiling.

Remarks

Remember not to concentrate on the light too intently, so as to avoid headaches.

Ⅵ:FAQ

Should I inhale when the halo of light expands or when it shrinks?

You should inhale when the when the halo expands. You may notice that the exhalation is deliberately longer.

Indeed, with slow breathing, and when the exhalation is longer than the inhalation, more CO2 is released. When the CO2 concentration in the blood decreases, so does the size of the cerebral vessels.

This phenomenon, called vasoconstriction, creates a sensation of tiredness which is conducive to falling asleep.
