What are the dangers of practicing Phosphenism ?

phosphenism psychic sciences and initiatory techniques
None with the practice of Phosphenic Mixing. On the contrary, light is a genuine purifier of thoughts. A real purification of feelings is produced, always leading a person to what will protect and balance him or her; sometimes without the person even noticing it. On the other hand, rhythmic thinking exercices power thoughts with a huge energy. In the early phases of training, this energy will amplify all thoughts good or bad without distinction.

What disorders of the eye are not improved by practicing Phosphenism ?

FAQ: general points
Cataract : as far as we know, practicing Phosphenism has no effect, positive or negative, on advanced stages of cataract. Cataract hampers practice significantly as the retina does not receive the right amount of light. It is possible that the blood flow stimulation caused by the alternation of bright lights and darkness has a positive effect on the early stages of cataract. We do not have experimented on this subject.

Is there a specialized equipment needed for practicing Phosphenism ?

FAQ: general points
For testing purposes and producing a few phosphenes, a common white light bulb set in a shadeless lamp or a desk lamp will do the job. But as soon as you want to switch to sustained practice, it is better to use specialized equipment. Thus, not only will the phosphene be more exploitable, but you will also avoid any eyestrain, even during long periods of practice, like students in pre-exams periods who do a great number of phosphenes over periods of 8 to 9 hours.

What are the different types of phosphenes that are not used for practicing Phosphenism ?

FAQ: general points
We do not use pathological phosphenes or acouphenes. They cannot be used for practicing and require medical treatment. Hallucinogenic substances create phosphenes that take the shape of associated hallucinations, and in some cases, a temporary feeling of well-being. Nevertheless, hallucinogenics also produce organic or brain injuries. The effects are diametrically opposed to the effects of Phosphenic Mixing though there is a parallel between the two processes.

What are the different applications of Phosphenism ?

phosphenism psychic sciences and initiatory techniques
Understanding Phosphenism is at the same time simple and complicated. If you restrict yourself to a purely intellectual process, Phosphenism will be very difficult to understand as a majority of the phenomena baffle comprehension. If, on the other hand, you practice the techniques, intellectual understanding will come by itself through your personal experience. In this domain, the only relevant approach is experimentation. The development of capacities of perception beyond the norm.

Similarily, some athletes cannot practice certain sports that would spoil the results they are trying to achieve. For example, boxers will not practice heavy body building as it would spoil their quickness, suppleness and efficiency.
