The Science of brainwave entrainment
Brainwave entrainment (BWE), also known as audio-visual entrainment (AVE), is the term used for the effect an external source of regular beats, flashes or vibrations has, on entraining and synchronizing the brain’s own frequency to that of the external stimulation. This happens by way of an effect called the Frequency Following Response (FFR).
This can be done with sound, light, vibration, or even certain electromagnetic pulses. Entrainment has the added benefit of being able to create inter-hemispheric synchronization of both sides of the brain and therefore improving communication between both hemispheres; as well as effects like improved cerebral (brain) blood flow and very deep states of relaxation.
Naturally and effortlessly, our brain takes an unconscious cue from the external rhythm and frequency of almost any consistent significant rhythm, beat or pulse, synchronizing and entraining our internal brainwave patterns to the same frequency over time.
With the help of EEG measurements, we can see that this leads to beneficial states of deep relaxation, hypnotic trance, and meditation, improved sleep, improved focus, heightened awareness, and the other benefits listed above.

What Happens During a Roxiva Session?
Users share many wonderful experiences and report several benefits including the ones listed above. Also, if you’re interested in psychedelics, but not the negative drug-related side effects, the Roxiva offers a safe, drug-free psychedelic experience that is out of this world!
Sitting or lying down, the Roxiva Light is placed at eye level above your forehead, about 8 to 12 inches from the LED modules. Customized specifically for you, we will select the light sequence, the length of time, and the music best suited for your session. Moments later the light sequence will begin.
During the session, the light flickers to create specific brainwaves; you will automatically be brought into a relaxed and meditative state, even if you are stressed or have a busy and active mind. There is no need to try to stop your thoughts – just observe your sensations during the light session. The Roxiva Light assists you in entering the meditative state without years of meditative practice.
