Interesting. I know from a psychologist that "eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR)" is indeed working, they don't know why and of course there are the usual sceptics, but it works, it's used for trauma therapy.
The method is, a flashlight is moved horizontally left-right-left..., (or an automatic running-light-bar is used) while the patient follows it with the eyes, it's soothing and relaxing. Of course it seems to be a re-discovery, hypnotists use those methods since a long time.
That this also can be used for afterlife contacts is new to me, but it's not surprising, as every relaxation/light trance inducing method is beneficial for this I believe.

Yes Betson, I think so. Maybe you try to move your eyes left and right without a flashlight first. I found it has an effect, weak, but it's there. I get de-focused then, meaning when I have something which lays heavy on my mind it's easier to forget about it, and that's probably the effect they use in trauma therapy, that the patients are not affected such strongly again when they tell about their experiences/memories.
There are some things to think about. As I see it, this is a method to induce a light trance. It is recommended when doing this to have a sort of guidance like a recording, to keep you somewhere, and if it's only the advice to be relaxed, to feel secure and everything's allright. I also guess that not you yourself should move the light, because it would be a closed circle of self action-reaction, while when something other or a machine would move the light it would be a total passive following which has more the character of a seduction into a trance (=a slightly detuned state to usual physical reality, open to friendly suggestions).

Thanks for explaining it further, spooky.
But I may be abit slightly detuned already.    I was thinking if the flashlight were placed on a shelf at eye level, and I sat in a desk chair with wheels, I could roll myself sideways back and forth. Do you think my actions needed to keep the chair rolling would be enough to keep the trance qualities under control?
This is does seem to have potential. (Funny coincidence that the day evolver was writing about it, I was driving by these therapists' doorstep.)
