What happens during the light bath
The Lucia N°03 combines a halogen warm-light source with a row of LED lights. When you close your eyes, the light penetrates through the lids and rhythmically stimulates the brain via the optic nerve. In this stimulation a state arises that brain research describes as hypnagogic — the threshold between wakefulness and dream, otherwise reachable only in the few seconds before falling asleep. On this threshold, forms of light arise, geometric patterns, sometimes explosions of colour, sometimes inner images that have to do with the life theme currently moving in you. What you see does not come from the device. It comes from you.
A short history
The Lucia N°03 was developed by the Viennese psychotherapist Engelbert Winkler and the neurologist Dirk Proeckl. Both had accompanied people who had had near-death experiences in their practice, and they wanted to understand what happens in that state. From this research the light machine emerged. It has been honoured with three gold medals for invention — in Germany, in Switzerland and in Kuwait. Today, naturopaths, therapists, coaches and wellness houses worldwide work with the Lucia N°03.
What people experience in it
Transcendent states
Many participants report experiences that lie beyond ordinary daytime consciousness — a feeling of vastness, of being connected, of a perception that is hard to put into words and yet works lastingly.
Deep relaxation
The body sinks into a calm that in many cases is deeper than sleep. When you stand up after the session, there is often a freshness you do not know otherwise.
Creative clarity
People who work creatively report a clarity that carries them for days after a session with the Lucia N°03. Ideas sort themselves, blockages dissolve, an image of the next step becomes visible.
Inner rooms
Some people discover inner rooms in themselves in the sessions, of whose existence they previously knew nothing. These rooms are not the work of the device — the Lucia N°03 only opens the door; you must enter it yourself.
For whom this is good
The Lucia N°03 is suitable for people who want to come into a deeper self-perception without taking the classical path of years of meditation practice. For creative people seeking access to their inner source. For people at professional or personal turning points who want to gain a clearer view of their own. For therapists and naturopaths who wish to offer their clients an additional tool of consciousness work.
In my work
I have worked with the Lucia N°03 for years, both in personal guidance and in the BodySignal retreats in Upper Austria. A first Lucia N°03 session lasts about forty-five minutes, of which roughly twenty-five minutes are pure light work. Before and after each session we take time for a conversation in which what has arisen in the light can be set into the context of your life. During a retreat of two to five days, several sessions are possible, so that a deepening becomes possible that a single experience cannot yet reach.
For your own practice
The Lucia N°03 comes in two variants. The Home Portal for personal use costs about 7,200 euros plus value added tax and shipping. The Practitioner System for naturopaths, therapists and professional users costs about 21,500 euros plus value added tax and shipping. Both variants contain 124 base programmes. Consultation and ordering through me — felix@bodysignal.app.

Safety note
The Lucia N°03 is unproblematic for most people, yet there are exceptions. People with epilepsy or a pronounced photosensitivity should not participate without medical consultation. Also in an acute psychological crisis the light work is not the right tool — in such phases a different form of accompaniment is more sensible. Speak with me briefly before a session, so we can assess together what fits for you.
What the Lucia N°03 is not
The Lucia N°03 is not a medical device and does not replace therapy. It is a tool for self-encounter. What you experience in it is your own experience, with your own material. It opens a room; you must enter it yourself.
