On Wednesday, June 5th, 2024, Vital Reset began incorporating the Sage Space Technologies X1 Vibroacoustic Lounge as a possible companion piece to our client’s psilocybin treatment. The team sat through an introduction and training session with co-founder Gabriel Ettenson, as he delved into the X1s design features and the science of Vibroacoustic Therapy.
Vibroacoustic therapy is based on the principles of physics and psychophysiology. The therapy uses low-frequency sound vibrations to create a tactile stimulation that can be felt by the body. This stimulation can help to reduce pain, promote relaxation, and enhance overall well-being. This process influences the overall energetic state of the body and serves to promote the return of compromised cells to a state of homeostasis (balance) in the body. It also offers an immersive, pleasurable experience and can change the sensations and overall perception of the body in space, entrain the brainwave patterns to states of deep meditation, and promote non-ordinary states of consciousness.
How we describe it: Imagine that you’re front stage at a music festival, and you can feel the pounding and vibration of the speakers, but instead of losing your hearing, you have a set of headphones on that plays the melody and the highs and mids. And instead of being squashed between sweaty bodies, baking in the summer sun, you are laying on a contoured and cushioned lounge in a temperature-controlled environment with an eye mask on and no one else around you. You are massaged and physically manipulated by the music. The deep thrum of the bass makes you quiver, and the bass drop makes your back and pelvis quake. You promise yourself that you’ll sit through this one song, and then another. The next thing you know, time refuses to stop, and you’re enveloped by waves of sound. Twenty minutes later, you rise from the lounge, feeling refreshed and energized, or relaxed and rested (depending on the specific pre-selected music program that comes with the X1, or you can choose your own).
As of Summer 2024, we’ll be doing some testing with our clients and facilitators on the X1 Lounge to see the best ways to incorporate its use in our psilocybin treatment. Our goal is to get some hard and anecdotal data on best practices for its use, with hopes of offering it as an add-on for those who would like to experience it as a part of their journey.
It’s a pretty amazing experience on its own without any psilocybin, so can you imagine what it would be like with it?! Well, we’re going to figure it out, and invite all our clients and facilitators to try it completely free of charge until the end of summer 2024. Book now and see!
