“I came in for pain relief, but I left with a memory I hadn’t felt in decades. All I saw were glowing honeycombs and deep sapphire. I cried and still don’t know why, but I know something changed.”
That’s what one of my clients told me after a session in the red light bed.
She’s intuitive and self-aware but didn’t expect this. I’ve heard similar stories of clients who entered the red light bed seeking physical relief but emerged with profound insights or unexplained tears. One vivid account stands out: a woman, after her session, sat quietly and described an overwhelming sense of peace as she watched a kaleidoscope of colors form patterns resembling ancient symbols. This moment of deep emotional release and transformation inspired this article. Many seekers of altered states, even those less attuned, report such experiences, granting them more than what they initially sought.
Geometric visions, flashes of color, and spontaneous emotional release are showing up more in my work. This fascinates me, as the brain keeps working even when unwell. I often hear these stories after sound lounge sessions with technodelics, and now they are just as common during red light therapy. My own journey mirrors this: before vibroacoustics, I fell in love with red light therapy while grieving. I sought it for physical healing but soon experienced spiritual visions. Though research was scarce, I felt profound shifts and healing. In my rawest pain, red light therapy helped me cocoon and reconnect with myself, opening me to receive and trust again.
I’ve come to believe that healing, when we allow it, can speak a language beyond words. Sometimes that language is sound. Sometimes it’s vibration, and sometimes it’s light.
Frequency and light don’t just serve the body. They speak to the soul, and sometimes help us open the doors we’ve long since closed.
I’ve witnessed clients experience what can only be described as visionary states inside a sound lounge or red light bed. They report geometric visions, spontaneous memories, feeling a presence, seeing emotional colors, and experiencing clarity often linked to psychedelics. During these altered states, orderly patterns emerge in the visual cortex, a phenomenon known as ‘entoptic phenomena’, where the brain’s cortical processing translates sensory input into structured visual experiences. Many people in our space describe webs of light, grids of glowing geometry, organic waves of deep colors, and what they can only call ‘memories without stories.’
The most surprising part? Many of these individuals never expected it. They simply showed up seeking relief and were met with transformation, just as I had. So what are these shapes and experiences pointing to, and could they indicate more is happening than we have research to prove? Let’s explore how this might be possible, starting with what we do know. Then you can decide for yourself.
Sacred Geometry, Vision States & Nervous System Healing
The honeycombs. The sapphire grids. The kaleidoscopic patterns of color—even black appearing not as void, but as velvet.
These aren’t hallucinations. They’re part of a universal visual language reported during near-death experiences, plant medicine journeys, deep meditation, hypnosis, and now increasingly through light-based healing.
What’s unfolding is not random.
Science and mysticism suggest that geometry forms the architecture of life itself. Spirals in galaxies, unfurling ferns, hexagonal water, and honeycomb patterns in beehives all show sacred geometry. It is woven into every layer of our existence. To some, these patterns might sound mysterious or esoteric, but they reflect an order seen in nature, mirrored in structures as fundamental as DNA’s double helix. Each showcases the universal language of sacred geometry anchored in the tangible reality around us.
To see these forms, especially when the thinking mind is quiet and the body is safe—is to glimpse the source code of reality.
When these patterns appear during red light therapy, they may signal the nervous system is deeply coherent. The brain waves, breath, heart rhythms, and energy field come into resonance. Observable signs, like a slower breath or hands warming as circulation improves, reflect this state of intelligence. This doesn’t just feel calm, it is intelligence.
It is the body aligning with the frequency of order, repair, and deeper truth.
Some researchers propose these geometric visions emerge as the brain processes non-ordinary consciousness. This can offer access to self-awareness, cellular memory, and transpersonal insight. What if the light isn’t just shining on you, but through you, illuminating your inner maps and creating internal harmony, reflecting an external truth.
It’s like an alchemy of healing without substances that brings remembering through form, color, and frequency.
Red Light Therapy as a Technodelic Experience
Red light therapy (RLT) has long been celebrated for physical benefits like reduced inflammation, accelerated tissue repair, and mitochondrial support. Anecdotal evidence and neural imaging studies suggest it also helps in trauma recovery, cognitive clarity, pineal gland support, circadian alignment, and can inspire altered states. The benefits go on…
Technodelic experiences involve technology-induced states similar to those induced by psychedelics. This technology can create altered perception, emotional release, or ego softening without substances. Flickering light and frequency modulation can mimic brainwave patterns seen with substances like DMT or psilocybin. When combined with vibroacoustic therapy and red light, it becomes a multisensory experience that is far more immersive than a single modality, demonstrating that our cells embrace sound, light, and frequency when provided the right space to trust and let go.
These sessions bypass language and logic, working directly through the body, the fascia, and the frequency fields.
So, it’s not just in your head. It’s not just woo woo. It’s science meeting spirit and representing the two parts that truly make us human.
Together, they create an internal resonance. A space where the body is safe enough to soften… and where the psyche is brave enough to look inward.
🌀 Healing the Unseen
Trauma often lodges in places beyond words. Our fascia holds tension that dates back decades. Our nervous system gets caught in loops of hypervigilance. And grief settles in the bones when it has nowhere else to go.
We can’t always talk through trauma. But light and frequency bypass mental barriers. They speak to the part of us that knows how to feel whole. No extra work is needed, just time to lay and soak in the experience.
For many, healing isn’t a sprint toward light. It is often a slow descent into darkness, which can feel scary until it becomes sacred. That’s why holding space for healing in a different way can help. Often, there’s a moment mid-session when the light shifts, the sound pulses, and the body sighs into stillness. Some feel held by something larger. Others take their first unarmored breath in years. The geometry and colors soothe, the frequency creates an internal massage, and the light recalls deep healing and safety.
It develops into a place where the true self, unburdened by story, diagnosis, or shame, finally emerges even if just for a few minutes by remembering what’s always been intact beneath the noise?
One of the most important things I’ve learned is this:
You can’t force these experiences. They arise when the body is ready.
The client who saw honeycombs didn’t go in asking for that.
She simply trusted the process. When we let go and surrender the mind, the body follows. It can release disease and pain, allowing joy and wholeness to return.
This is why I say: Your body already knows how to journey and heal. You just have to give it the right environment.
