MindplaceLimina - Light & Sound Meditation Aid System

Light therapy is becoming more mainstream but slowly. I and so happy that I was able to find Mindplace. Was going to purchase the Kasina but the new Limina was better for my budget with most all of the benifits of the Kasina. Kasina has more internal memory but the Limina can be connected to your computer to do what you need. I purchased the deep vision googles and they work with the Limina as well. Great color spectrum with six lights per lense I do believe. Light therapy is amazing!

I initially had doubts about this gadget. Had run across a number of reviews on devices that modulate brainwaves and the reports seemed to good to be true. Although the scientific literature suggested some effect it didn't seem dramatic enough to support the claims I was reading. (I'm a retired MD and born skeptic.) But since I had some spare cash in my entertainment budget ,Corona has been keeping my spending in check, I decided to give it a try. Limima seemed to be the best value.First the good news: It does just what it's supposed to. AT this point I've tried 15 to 20 of the preinstalled programs. The volume and brightness levels do need a little fine tuning to get the best effect. But when they're dialed in - Wow! Tried the "visualization" programs first. I wasn't expecting much but you really do get kaleidoscopic moving pictures. Some are very sharp and vivid. 30 minutes left me feeling relaxed and a little spacey. Like after a glass of wine maybe.The focus and alertness programs do that too but the visuals while there are not impressive.It is difficult to concentrate and focus with the relaxation programs running. (Can't do mindfulness meditation on this setting.) But I do feel relaxed and centered afterwards. With all the different programs available I suspect there is one to facilitate this. Just haven't found it yet.If this was the whole story it would earn five stars.Now the Bad Stuff:It arrived promptly by two day mail. Classy package. Fun unboxing. (The build quality seems on par with 1980s transistor radios.) Went to insert some batteries and found a mismatched pair of AAs already there. Nice surprise. But it didn't boot up. OK, fresh AAs - the old ones were dead tested and confirmed dead. Screen backlight lit up but it still wouldn't boot. On further investigation I noticed some minor damage to the packaging that I didn't cause. Maybe I got a repackaged demo model?Mindplace support was very friendly and helpful. I had a replacement unit and return shipping label within a week. Easy to use. Worked exactly as advertised - for three hours... Then the brightness button collapsed leaving it stuck on the dimmest setting. Mindplace was just as good to me second time around. The third attempt seems to have succeeded. Been using it for several days. Minimal battery drain. Running like clockwork so far. Fingers crossed...So, as much as I want to give it a top rating I have to be honest and say... Just Four stars. I would definitely buy one again though.

I bought the Limina as a Procyon replacement, which I've used to de-stress during some difficult periods in my life. I must say I love this little device already--cool design, clear LCD display (the Procyon had a retro 3 digit LED), very colorful. And it includes all of the Procyon sessions, too! The addition of a manual frequency control mode is most welcome (the Procyon didn't have this), and I've just chilled with a 7.8 Hz session. Great product!

I've tried every setting. They just don't do squat.

I loved it until it stopped working after 6 sessions

I cannot get it to work tryed to get help it worked great for a week wish I could get some help maybe I did something to it don’t know why one day it worked great and then didn’t & wont

Awesome machine for retraining your brain. I enjoy this as a ritual each and every day. I would recommend anyone looking to destress, calm the monkey mind, learn to mediate, buy one of these

There went my day plan! Received my Limina this morning and have been exploring all afternoon. This system is light years ahead of the Proteus from years back. Very easy to use, just insert batteries and away you go with a huge variety of preprogrammed sessions. Colors and sound are brilliant (though I prefer my own headphones to the provided earbuds). Looking forward to many more hours of exploring this system.
