THE LIGHT
Welcome to the Lucia Light Experience—a unique way to encounter light, its movement, and its rhythm.
Light is already part of our everyday experience. We encounter it through the sun, through nature, and through the changing rhythms of our lives.
Symbolically, light can also speak to something within us: our vitality, our movement, our capacity for action, and our relationship with inner wisdom and illumination.
Within the Lucia Light Experience, we are invited to experience light in a different way—to become present to it, to observe what arises, and to allow the experience to unfold naturally.
Light becomes an invitation to presence, contemplation, and inner exploration.
Let there be light.

THE LUMINO-MEDITATIVE EXPERIENCE
LUCIA LIGHT N°03
The Lucia N°03 is a light-based device developed in Austria by psychologist Dr. Engelbert Winkler and neurologist Dr. Dirk Proeckl, in collaboration with engineer Jury Locker.
The technology combines a flickering LED light with a constant light source, using varying patterns, speeds and intensities while the eyes remain closed.
During a session, the interplay of light may give rise to vivid colours, patterns and other subjective visual or sensory experiences. At Sainessence, the Lucia Light is integrated into a personalized meditative experience designed to support relaxation, presence and inner exploration.
THE EXPERIENCE
THE LIGHT MEDITATIVE STATE
As you recline comfortably and gently close your eyes, you are invited to relax and experience the changing rhythms, patterns and intensities of light.
With your eyes closed, the light may give rise to an extraordinary inner visual experience. Some people perceive vivid colours, geometric patterns, movement or dreamlike imagery, while others experience something quieter and more subtle. Each session is unique, and the experience may vary from one person to another—and even from one session to the next.
Beyond the visual experience, many people describe a deep sense of relaxation, presence and inner awareness. Some also interpret their experience through a personal, contemplative or spiritual lens.
At Sainessence, there is nothing you need to achieve or experience. You are simply invited to receive the session with openness and allow your own experience to unfold.
THE EXPERIENCE & EMERGING RESEARCH
Lucia Light has attracted growing interest for its distinctive visual and meditative experience, as well as for ongoing research into how rhythmic light stimulation interacts with perception and brain activity.
- Visual Stimulation: With the eyes closed, flickering light can produce vivid subjective visual experiences, including colours, geometric patterns, movement, and other forms of imagery. Experiences vary considerably from person to person.
- Relaxation & Presence: Many participants describe their sessions as deeply relaxing or meditative. Individual experiences vary, and these reported effects should not be considered guaranteed therapeutic outcomes.
- Altered & Meditative States: Rhythmic light stimulation is being studied for its relationship with changes in subjective experience and brain activity. Some individuals describe unusual, expansive, creative, contemplative, or spiritual experiences during their sessions.
- Individual Experience: Every session is different. The experience may be influenced by individual sensitivity, attention, expectations, and the circumstances surrounding the session. There is no particular experience that needs to occur for a session to be meaningful.
- Safety: Lucia Light should be used according to established safety guidelines and screening procedures. Flickering light is not appropriate for everyone, particularly individuals with photosensitive epilepsy or certain sensitivities to flashing light.
- Emerging Research: Scientific research into rhythmic light stimulation and Lucia-related experiences continues to evolve. While researchers are investigating its effects on perception, brain activity, and subjective states, broader therapeutic and long-term health benefits should not be considered established at this time.
THE MINDS BEHIND LUCIA N°03
The story of Lucia N°03 is closely connected to Dr. Engelbert Winkler’s profound near-death experience during childhood. His encounter with an extraordinary perception of light remained with him throughout his life and later influenced his work as a psychotherapist and his interest in exploring the relationship between light, consciousness, and human experience.
This exploration eventually brought him together with Dr. Dirk Proeckl, a neurologist with a particular interest in the brain and altered states of perception. Dr. Proeckl proposed combining a constant light source with carefully controlled pulsations of light, opening the way to further experimentation with different frequencies, intensities, and patterns.
Together, and in collaboration with engineer Jury Locker, they developed Lucia N°03—an innovative light system designed to create a distinctive visual and subjective experience with the eyes gently closed.
Their work brought together psychology, neurology, engineering, and an enduring curiosity about consciousness and human perception.
INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION
The patented Lucia N°03 has received recognition at international invention exhibitions, including:
- Gold Medal — Kuwait: International Invention Fair of the Middle East (IIFME)
- Gold Medal — Nuremberg, Germany: International Trade Fair “Ideas – Inventions – New Products”
- Bronze Medal — Geneva, Switzerland: International Exhibition of Inventions
THE RESEARCH
EEG Functional Connectivity and Phenomenology of Induced Dissociative States
Research conducted at the University of Sussex explored how the brain responds to controlled pulsations of light produced by the Lucia N°03.
In the study, 23 healthy participants experienced light pulsations matched to their individual alpha brain-wave rhythm. During the stimulation, researchers used EEG to observe and measure changes in brain activity.
Participants also described their subjective experiences, including vivid visual phenomena, changes in bodily sensations and perception, feelings of detachment and, for some, mystical or contemplative-type experiences.
The researchers found that these experiences were accompanied by measurable changes in patterns of brain activity and functional connectivity.
This exploratory research contributes to the study of associations between controlled pulsating light, patterns of brain activity, and temporary subjective experiences.
At Sainessence, the Lucia N°03 is offered specifically as a meditation and inner-exploration experience. Our sessions are intended to support relaxation, presence, contemplation, and personal exploration. We do not use the Lucia N°03 to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent medical or psychological conditions.

ILLUMINATING INSIGHTS
Nearly Eight Years with Lucia Light
Since 2018, I have had the opportunity to work with and personally experience the Lucia N°03 on a regular basis. Nearly eight years of familiarity with the light have allowed me to observe my own responses over time and to develop a deeper understanding of the experience from both a personal and practitioner perspective.
Throughout this journey, I have observed periods of profound relaxation, mental clarity, increased creativity, greater presence, and a quieter relationship with repetitive or negative thoughts. At times, I have also experienced temporary sensations such as floating or detachment, tingling in the body, occasional headaches, and heightened awareness or alertness.
These observations are personal and cannot be attributed to Lucia Light alone. My experience exists within a much broader foundation that includes many years of meditation practice, conscious living, and ongoing attention to my physical and mental well-being.
For me, these years with Lucia have been an ongoing exploration of light, meditation, perception, and consciousness—an experience approached with curiosity, awareness, and respect for the uniqueness of each individual response.
