The Ganzfeld Effect
Anyone who is trying to learn how to meditate or is interested
in experiencing an altered state should try The Ganzfeld Effect.
Historically, Arctic explorers were the first people to describe
the effect. After they gazed into a frosty field of snowy white, they
reported experiencing a form of snowblindness.
Upon further research in the 1930's, it was discovered that
when people gazed into a featureless field of vision (a Ganzfeld),
they quickly and consistently entered a profoundly altered state.
When Ganzfelds have been tried by experienced meditators,
they have described the effect as instant meditation. This is not
surprising, since most forms of meditation require you to focus your
attention on a spot, flower, mantra, etc.
While traditional meditation can take many years of practice,
a Ganzfeld works for most people in a matter of minutes. (Researchers
have also tested the effects of Ganzfelds on psychic abilities, and
have found a statistically significant increase in test scores. See

The Effect Described
When someone is exposed to a Ganzfeld, they often experience
a progression of effects that can be described as follows:
- All color drains from your field of vision
- The size of your field of vision oscillates
- You "see" a swirling Kaleidoscope of colors
and with practice
- You completely ignore your vision as you us your mind
in an extremely focused way
People have reported using Ganzfelds in the following ways:
- Instant Meditation
- Self Hypnosis
- Astral Journeys
- Past Lives Regressions
- Psychic Abilities
- Guided Imagery
