Reviews MindPlace Proteus USB Light & Sound Meditation Mind Machine

While the market has filled up with competitors MindPlace Proteus remains the innovator they've always been. Many of the self-help programs you find in iPad apps are actually using recordings of the Proteus device. I mean all the little details are perfect the battery life is incredible, it shuts off automatically to let you sleep.

It is thoroughly programmable you can hook it up to USB save your custom programs, and every other mind machine you find under $200 comes with far cheaper LED goggles. Wow. Talk about journey to another world. Like nothing I've ever experienced before. I bought the MindPlace Proteus because the suggestion of a friend of mine with sleeping problems. It is just great. Insomnia good bye!

The theoretical concept behind this type of Light & Sound Meditation Mind Machine technology is that one can induce certain brain states characterized by different amplitudes of specific types of brain waves i.e. alpha, beta, theta and delta. Different patterns of brain waves result in different mind states. The MindPlace Proteus USB Light & Sound Meditation Mind Machine product literature also talks about the concept of entrainment where your brain waves synchronize to the light and sound while your brain hemispheres are synchronized or balanced.

Because I do biofeedback work, I was curious to couple it with heart rate variability (HRV) and pulse data. In my case, I seemed to reach higher levels of brain/heart coherence. This correlates with being in a relaxed, open and healthy state. As an aesthetic experience, using this unit was simply AWESOME! When I bought it, my expectations weren't that high.

Because you are wearing glasses that generate the light, it completely fills your visual field. Also, the pulsations of light induce states that are unusual and very pleasant. I found the experience fascinating and I can certainly see how this MindPlace Proteus USB Light & Sound Meditation Mind Machine could be useful for meditation, relaxation and perhaps even pain management. My feeling of well-being also remained after my session was over.

Note: If you slowly start losing function in the MindPlace Proteus USB Light & Sound Meditation Mind Machine goggles, change the batteries. You will not regret buying this product. But do exercise caution if you have any propensity towards seizures. This could readily induce seizures in a susceptible person. It really does induce a deep meditative and/or restful sleep state unpredidented by anything else we've ever tried. Enjoy!
