There is a new therapy available in just a handful of wellness centers to date in the form of a computer-controlled lamp system used to induce hypnagogic light experiences.This system was invented by two Austrian doctors, Engelbert Winkler and Dirk Proeckl, who created and patented the final prototype in 2009. Inspired by Dr. Winkler’s personal experience with near death and cemented through Dr. Proeckl’s work as a neurologist, “light travel” was born. Described as a state of consciousness between wakefulness and sleep, hypnagogia is what occurs in the brain under the lamp system.
