Hypnagogic Light Experience (HLE) and Nonduality Dr. Dirk Proeckl & Dr. Engelbert Winkler
An introduction to the theoretical and practical aspects of HLE: * The development of the Hypnagogic Light Experience and Lucia N03 as a tool to achieve this non-usual state of consciousness/awareness of nonduality. * Current (interdisciplinary) knowledge about light and altered states of consciousness. * Possible linkages between this experience and brain activity are demonstrated and discussed by means of electroencephalgraphy (preliminary data). * Therapeutical approaches using light from past to present. As "Lucia N03" nearly immediately induces an altered state of consciousness, one can see (with closed eyes) colors, fractals and complex forms of indescribable beauty accompanied by the activation of relating emotions and cognitions. Therefore the HLE is in itself a kind of fundamental experience of nonduality as it confronts the subject with a holotropic way of perception and information processing.
