RoXiva® Light Therapy
The RoXiva RX1 uses rhythmic light pulses to guide the brain into alpha and theta brainwave states — the same deeply relaxed, insight-rich states targeted in neurofeedback and deep meditation, without any substances or equipment attached to your body. At Alternative Therapy, we use it as a clinical adjunct to deepen somatic work, trauma processing, and psychedelic integration.
Some of the most powerful healing doesn't come from talking — it comes from shifting the state you're in.
The RoXiva RX1 is a stroboscopic light lamp that uses a process called brainwave entrainment — precisely timed light pulses that guide the brain into specific frequency states. Alpha states bring deep relaxation and openness. Theta states evoke the dreamlike, visionary quality associated with deep meditation, creative insight, and inner access. These are the same brainwave states that practices like neurofeedback and meditation aim to cultivate, reached here through a different pathway: light.
For clients doing trauma work, somatic processing, or psychedelic preparation and integration, RoXiva can act as a powerful bridge — helping the nervous system settle into states where deeper healing becomes more accessible. Many people describe sessions as immersive, dreamlike, or quietly profound. Others simply feel very still. No two sessions are the same.
No substances. No prior experience needed. Just light, and whatever emerges.
RoXiva is offered as a clinical adjunct at Alternative Therapy, integrated into trauma therapy, psychedelic preparation and integration, and somatic work. Ask your clinician whether it may be a good fit for where you are in your work.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
The RoXiva RX1 is a therapeutic light lamp that works through brainwave entrainment — using rhythmic pulses of light to guide your brain into specific frequency states. Alpha waves bring deep calm and openness; theta waves produce the dreamlike, insight-rich states associated with deep meditation and inner exploration. It's a substance-free way to access states that practices like neurofeedback and meditation work toward, through the simple pathway of light.
-
Neurofeedback measures your brainwaves in real time and trains you to regulate them yourself over many sessions. RoXiva works through entrainment — the light guides your brain into those states directly, without sensors or extended training. They share similar goals; the pathway is different.
-
Most people describe it as deeply relaxing, visually immersive, or dreamlike — similar to the space just before sleep or a deep meditative state. Some experience colors, patterns, or imagery. Others simply feel very still. Every session is different.
-
RoXiva® may be right for you if you:
Want to deepen psychedelic integration work between medicine sessions
Are curious about altered states but prefer not to use substances
Feel stuck in talk therapy and want a somatic, non-verbal path into healing
Are working through trauma, anxiety, or nervous system dysregulation
RoXiva can be a valuable tool for trauma processing, somatic work, and psychedelic preparation or integration. Your clinician will help determine whether it's a good fit for your goals.
-
RoXiva is not recommended for people with photosensitive epilepsy or certain other neurological conditions. Your clinician will review this with you before any session.
-
A session utilizing RoXiva Light Therapy is incorporated in a traditional 50-55 minute individual therapy session and is billed the same at no extra cost!
