How Light and Sound Changed My Life – The Story Behind Soma Light Therapy

A Journey Into the Brain’s Hidden Potential

Six years ago, I stumbled upon an article that would change my life forever. It was a piece from Usbek & Rica about a psychedelic light machine—a device that used flickering lights to induce altered states of consciousness. At the time, I had no idea that this discovery would lead me to a completely new understanding of the human brain, consciousness, and healing.

As someone who has always been curious about alternative wellness and brainwave technologies, I dived deep into research. What I found fascinated me: Brainwave Entrainment.

The Science That Caught My Attention: Brainwave Entrainment

Our brains operate on different frequencies, and depending on the state we’re in—sleep, deep meditation, focus, or relaxation—our brainwaves shift. What if there was a way to guide our brains into these optimal states using light and sound?

This is exactly what brainwave entrainment does. By exposing the brain to pulsing lights and synchronized sounds, it naturally tunes itself to specific frequencies, leading to experiences such as:

  • Deep relaxation and stress relief
  • Enhanced creativity and problem-solving
  • Lucid dreaming and visionary states
  • Meditation-like calmness in minutes

This technology has been explored for decades, with pioneers like:

Finding the Right Light Machine: Why Roxiva?

After years of research, I came across Roxiva—a state-of-the-art photic stimulation device designed to guide the brain into transformative states. Unlike the earlier machines I had read about, Roxiva offered:

  • More advanced waveforms and frequencies
  • Customizable sessions tailored for relaxation, energy, or psychedelic-like experiences
  • Scientifically backed brainwave modulation

So, I invested in one and started experimenting. For six months, my home turned into a laboratory of light and consciousness! I tested it daily, shared it with friends and family, and observed its impact on mood, focus, and well-being. The results? Pure joy, relaxation, and a newfound sense of clarity.

That’s when I knew—I had to share this with the world.

From My Living Room to the World – The Birth of Soma Light Therapy

In January 2023, I officially started facilitating Soma Light Therapy sessions. What began as a personal passion quickly became a movement.

From intimate home gatherings to international events, here’s some of the places where Soma Light Therapy has taken me:
The Gardens of Babylon Festival in Amsterdam—where hundreds experienced profound shifts under the light
Techstars Berlin—introducing entrepreneurs and innovators to the power of brainwave entrainment
Raiffeisen Bank, Albania—bringing wellness to corporate spaces
Aethos Hotel, Sardinia—elevating retreats with deep meditative sessions…

What amazes me the most isn’t just the science or the experiences—it’s the people I’ve met. This journey has connected me with like-minded souls, healers, artists, seekers, and visionaries who, like me, are exploring the limitless potential of the mind.

Soma Light Therapy: More Than Just Light

This isn’t just a machine. It’s a portal to deeper self-awareness.

Through Soma Light Therapy, you can:
Relax deeply in just minutes
Unlock creative flow effortlessly
Experience altered states naturally—without substances

As I continue this journey, my mission is clear: to bring this light to as many people as possible, to create spaces of healing, insight, and transformation.

Want to experience it yourself? Book a session or meet us at our next event: Butterflies in Babylon – Amsterdam, March 14-15.


I’d love to hear from you—have you ever tried brainwave entrainment? What was your experience? Let’s connect!
