Mindplace Kasina DeepVision Bundle - Light & Sound Meditation Aid System

This device comes with 2 glasses, headset, adapter and bags to hold everything. Works great. Sessions are very calming-the light show is pretty cool. You can download more sessions from their website. Also there's a forum you can join. The sound is good. The battery life seems good. Pretty easy to use.

I’m 52, tech incompetent, and clean/sober. I purchased this as a meditation tool/ option/ variation. When I’m particularly rusty on practice or highly agitated, I need more help to re-connect with the calm. I like it. I ultimately chose this over the competitor’s device whose AVE has lots of research because I wanted more preset options to increase the odds I would 💙at least one. Plus Kasina’s device looks far more sleek/ small. I had originally intended to also buy one of the heartmath devices (which also has good research behind it) but this Kasina is so satisfying, I no longer have the desire. My favorite preset Kasina program is river & forest. I purchased the bundle with 2 types of eyewear because I had the impression one used it with eyes open and I had concerns my contact lens covered, bulging eyes might be uncomfortable in the standard frames. The instructions, however, suggest closed eyes so I do that (with contact lenses out) and it is comfortable. So the 2nd eye piece is in reserve. Yes, it’s rather pricy, although half that of another (different but similar) tool I have: a CES, the $800 name brand Alpha Stim. Also, when I think of what I pay to visit a workshop/ retreat/ counselor & duration of partaking in what I pay for, purchasing the most highly rated AVE, which with care will 🤞🏻 last many years, the $400 price tag seems less horrifying. I store all its components in a plastic shoebox for protection, near my meditation space, and rarely take it on trips (but when I do, I still pack the space hogging shoebox). I haven’t yet partaken of the other 4 program categories of mental state, but I do like knowing the Kasina has more to offer, as it’s likely that someday I’ll try & find another something to add to the repertoire.

Remember the flashing 'disco lights' in Saturday Night Fever which were synchronized with the music? Maybe you or someone you knew had a light-box connected to their stereo amplifier so the 8-track would make the lights flash . . . that is the program in this MP3 player. It comes with two sets of LED goggle-glasses (one for only wearing with eyes closed, the other for wearing with eyes open or closed) and dozens of meditative tracks for assisting you to relax, meditate, practice active-contemplation, or just be entertained. Charged with included USB cord. Recommend using this with a much better set of headphones, but it does come with a set of cheap earbuds. If you are a moderately advanced audiophile (with your own music-creation software) it is simple to load your own music onto this MP3 player. If you are not an advanced audiophile, you can plug this MP3 playing into any external music source and run the synchronization program. Rock out and let the disco lights flash in your closed or open eyes! These are FRAGILE goggle-glasses. They will break if dropped. The chords will break if they are not handed with gentle care. The MP3 player, however, is sturdy and will withstand a fall from pocket-height. Because these glasses MP3 player do not have Bluetooth, the multiple chords can become tangled if you are not careful. USB charging in (6-8 hr charge depending on volume), Aux cable in (to connect your own music source), headphone/earbuds out, and glasses out. Highly recommend.

This device is horrible!! The lack of documentation, tutorials and examples is beyond unacceptable for a device that costs over $400!! The forums and documentation instructs using software that has been discontinued for YEARS and from a company that went out of business!! And the KASINA Basic Editor is the most BASIC software, so the name truly fits! Its firmware is ver 3.3.3, but the documentation is for 2.0. And don't even bother trying to sign up to ask questions on the forum because you'll never get approved for leaving comments. Want to try creating your own AudioStrobe and SpectraStrobe files? Don't waste your time. You'll have to download/purchase additional software (DAW) and additional plugins. It is NOT easy to use! It is NOT fun to use! The cables from the glasses and headphones are a constant distraction. It DOES NOT have Bluetooth so you cannot use wireless headphones. The glasses are cheap and look like toys made for children and in fact the whole device looks and feels like an MP3 player put out by Fisher-Price Toys. The audio is horrible! I kept hearing hissing anytime the cord moved. It has not been updated in YEARS!!!! In my opinion, this is absolute junk and definitely not worth the money that is being charged. At most it's worth $50-$60, but over $400? ABSOLUTELY NOT!! If you're looking for a similar device with high quality files, wait until the LUMENATE NOVA goes public! Don't waste your time with this!!

easy to use option to upload additional programs high product quality

It is totally worth it. The second day I used it I had a lucid dream. In an other session it was so relaxing that I fell asleep.

I wanted to use this to experiment with 40 Hz optical and aural stimulation following the exciting results of using this to reverse Alzheimer's in mice. It is a massive improvement on the monochrome and two colour so-called 'light and machines' of old, and is also a useful recreational tool and aid to meditation. I found that the Ganzfeld goggles didn't work for me, as keeping my eyes open through a session was tiring: I much preferred the standard goggles.

Helps to quiet the mind, raise and expand consciousness, and open new possibilities to arise.

A few of points I would like to make for people who are hesitating on the price. Firstly, a Mind Machine is a unique self improvement/drug-free altered state experience unlike anything else available. Only you can say how much value you place on a way to experience a state of mind that is unlike anything else in normal reality, but to me that's almost priceless Secondly, this entire Kasina bundle costs around a third of the price of a top-of-the-range Smartphone. I'm confident in saying a Mind Machine will do your brain a lot more good than a Smartphone... Finally, yes the user-interface of this device might look out-of-date compared to the latest wireless touch-screen goodies we are all used to. Honestly, though, it just doesn't matter - a singing bowl could be thought of as out-of-date, but surely it's the experience itself that counts. And honestly, the experience is truly worthwhile. Enjoy!
