Tsurune Book 3 Afterword

Full list of translations here

Time for my unsolicited book review!

Tsurune Book 3 is one of the books of all time.

I'm not trying to be funny, that is my true opinion about this book.

I've said before that it feels like the author was forced to write this book in a hurry, and after finishing it, I can only say that those feelings have only grown stronger. I think the author was going for an abstract and spiritual feeling but it didn't really work out. It only made the story hard to follow, and the tendency for the novel to jump from topic to topic seemingly at random didn't help. It's probably super obvious in the author's head, but that doesn't matter if the reader can't follow their thinking. I really do question what the editors are doing because I'm not sure if they're giving the author proper feedback.

The novel also suffers from trying to do a lot but not doing any of it satisfactorily. It introduced a lot of new characters and plot points but never really did anything with them?? The new first-years faded out of the story after the beginning and idek what's going on with Kuon. As for the new school Haneina...the author just gave them one """quirky""" trait each and called it a day. It kinda happened with Tsujimine too but it was more subtle with them, and I think the central relationship of Nikaidou and Fuwa was compelling and well-written. Asahina and Eddie, on the other hand, are just really weird?? I honestly don't understand what their narrative role is supposed to be??

This might be a controversial opinion but I feel like the anime tells a more coherent, polished version of the story. I was rewatching it the other day and I was kind of blown away by how the visual quality improved between the seasons. S1 was definitely not bad looking but S2 is just *chef's kiss*. Idk if there's going be an S3 but it will be interesting to see how (or if) they adapt book 3

Anyways i don't want to say that book 3 is kinda pointless since it did give us some reveals (perhaps unnecessarily) but on the other hand...i feel like book 2 had a nice ending for the series as a whole as well? idk. if there is going to be a book 4, i hope it will be all about Kazemai hunting down Masa-san's bio dad

Thanks for following along with me! I know I've been really slow with this so im glad people are still interested haha

This happened when I was reading a certain foreign novel’s translated version. As I was reading through the point of view of a character whose first-person pronoun was “私” (watashi), I came across a surprising description. To my surprise, the character I thought was a woman suddenly started to shave their beard. Later, I learned that there was an unspoken rule that men used “watashi” written in kanji, and women used “watashi” written in katakana.

Minato’s personal pronoun is “ore” in hiragana. It encompasses the meaning of “undifferentiated,” someone of unknown gender who is neither male or female, although his physical body is that of a boy. Nanao’s pronoun is “ore” written in katakana, a person of unknown nationality who can’t be classified as either Japanese or foreign, a person who wavers between the two, a hybrid existence that crosses that line. Takigawa Masaki is also someone who hovers between “human” and “not human,” so his name is written as “Masa-san” (マサさん) in the text. Shuu is also a character who is in between.

I’m attracted to such “fluctuating” and “swaying” things. Things that can’t fixed or distinguished in form or state, as changeable as “water.” Kaleidoscopic freedom and loneliness are two sides of the same coin. People who fluctuate cannot stay in one place, and instability follows. Because they can’t be classified, they do not belong anywhere, nor can they be emphasized with. I wanted to somehow hold back those who can’t stop walking. I wrote this story because I wanted them by my side.

Changing the topic, I was on my way home from a domestic trip. After spending a relaxing time listening to the chirping of birds on an isolated island, I heard a large explosion sound when I got off at a certain station in Tokyo. The warning signal of a train entering the station continued to sound, and announcements reverberated from all over. I forgot to bring my earphones, so I was unable to plug my ears and ran all the way to the edge of the platform. Glowing neon lights reflected diffusely, and the words on billboards and other signs crowded in my field of vision like a herd of horses. I almost thought that I had time travelled back to wartime. We had become so accustomed to the flood of sound, light, and text that we don’t realize we’re on the verge of drowning.

Tsurune is the story of masters and disciples and bow friends with the theme of rebirth, and it began as the story of seven archers. The theme of Volume 3 is “Meigen, that is the sound of the dawn,” and I wrote about shari kenshou (seeing true nature through the shot).

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone involved in the making of this book: Koyama Kyugu-sama, who I’ve interviewed, T-sama of the KA Esuma Bunko Editorial Department, Kyoto Animation-sama who was in charge of illustrations, the proofreaders, the novel’s official website, the printing company, and the distributors. The letters I’ve received are my treasures, and I have displayed them in my tokonoma alcove. I would like to thank my beloved kyudo teachers and bow friends, my precious friends, and my supportive family.

Last but not least, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to all the readers who have read this far.

I hope for the day when the beautiful tsurune of the archers will resound.

📍 Kaleidoscope Visual Meditation, Visual Relaxation

[dollsonmain]

I don’t know how long it’ll last but I was on anesthesia, a muscle relaxant, and a heavy duty pain killer at different times over the past day and night. I’d have to look on my MyChart to see what they were.

But one of them changed something in my brain. I don’t know how long it’ll last, and I don’t know if it’s changed my ability to put thoughts into words in the same way it’s changed my ability to visualize things.

I’ve never struggled to see shapes in clouds. Animals, people etc. no problem. Faces in the rings of a piece of wood were also just a normal thing for me.

However now they are very, very different.

When I would close my eyes before I’d see only simple, tessellated patterns. White and red triangles are most common.

Also what I would see was usually just red or white. Now there’s green when my eyes are closed and I’m seeing flat colors.

There were also heavily detailed, moving images in patters and designs and details and ideas that I never would have thought of before in full color. It wasn’t like a kaleidoscope, it was more like segments and each segment fit into the next like elongated seashells or fans and each shell had a different, unique, moving, animated creature doing something but multiple frames side by side all moving together like a rotoscope.

All of them. I could clearly see each frame of every shell, the frames before, the ones after all together and moving and complete and in high detail.

The nurses station in the room looked like a wall mounted PC in the daytime but at night it looked like so many different things. I wish I’d had a sketchbook, knowing I would forget what those different images that came up were and not be able to share them.

I did take a picture of the bathroom door, though. I saw people and shapes and faces, yes, but some very different than my usual, simple ones, and some in a style that my brain normally wouldn’t churn out. I hope I can get them all traced out somehow from that photo.

I just got home and looked at the rock wall that surrounds the fireplace and there are so many new, different, elaborate, creative creatures and scenes that my mind never could churn out on it’s own before.

I love this. I hope it sticks around.

(As of 11 am on Friday, Sept. 1, the rocks are now only rocks again.)

Drive-Away Dolls (2024) review

Do not see this movie with your mum. I repeat, do not not see this movie with your mum!!

Plot: Jamie regrets her breakup with her girlfriend, while Marian needs to relax. In search of a fresh start, they embark on an unexpected road trip to Tallahassee. Things quickly go awry when they cross paths with a group of inept criminals.

The Coen Brothers are behind some of the most thrilling crime capers in cinema history, and are known for their flashy neo-noir style and highly convoluted plots featuring eccentric characters. However recently the brothers decided to temporarily part ways and focus on their own separate projects, with Joel adapting the famous Shakespeare play Macbeth, which by the way was a superb piece of post-modern black-and-white cinema, and gave Roman Polanski a run for his money. Honestly, Tragedy of Macbeth was visually striking, as it stripped down the classic Bard play to its narrative and perceptible essentials, and also the cast was terrific! Then again, you can never go wrong with Denzel Washington. I honestly don’t know a single person who doesn’t love Denzel!

Anyway, whilst Joel was up to his master-class ways, what has the other Coen bro been up to? We would have found out last year if it weren’t for the strikes, but now we finally have an answer - Ethan has decided to go back to his roots and make a road trip movie that is infused with the 80s/90s goofy feel to it, and he even brings back the briefcase from Fargo! Or from No Country for Old Men. Or The Big Lebowski. Or Hail Caesar!. Pretty sure Brad Pitt also seeks a briefcase full of cash in Burn After Reading…. Honestly what is it with the Coens and their briefcases!? Not only that, I swear most of the time it’s the same model briefcase that’s used! So anyway, Ethan Coen is evidently driving down memory lane here, but is it a drive across the greatest hits, or a drive-away to disappointment?

It’s the latter unfortunately. Now we have seen the true colours and know which of the Coen bros is the talented one and which is riding on their sibling’s success! I’m kidding, everyone has a bad day at the office, but Ethan Coen has really made a stinker with Drive-Away Dolls. Playing out in less than an hour and a half, this is a very short film, so on a plus size is does whiz past you. However the storyline is so thin and disengaging, and the jokes are also really unfunny. The Coen Brothers are known for their signature wit and hilarious dialogue, however none of that is present here. Additionally, similar to how I found Poor Things to feature one too many sex scenes for my liking, Drive-Away Dolls features a lot of lesbian friction throughout, to unnecessary amounts. I thought it was bit too much, and too icky for my tastes.

The cast features a lot of talented people, all of whom I’ve seen give great performances in other projects, however here they were either miscast or simply wasted with their minimal inconsequential screen time. Margaret Qualley is way too over-the-top and silly as the fast talking Jamie with a cringe-inducing accent twang, and she got really overbearing by the end of the movie. Geraldine Viswanathan as Marian plays the straight faced counterpart to Qualley’s annoying energy ball. Again, it’s not the first time we’ve seen such a dynamic in films, yet Viswanathan can’t seem to find any interesting layers within her one-dimensional character and as such came off really boring. The rest of the cast comes and goes, some for sheer forced comedy and others to at least make some attempt to have a cohesive plot, but even then are taken out of the equation quickly and pointlessly. Pedro Pascal, Colman Domingo, Beanie Feldstein, Matt Damon, Bill Camp, Miley Cyrus….all wasted.

The movie also features very sloppy editing, and also the transitions! We have to speak about the transitions! What the hell was going on there? So from scene to scene we’d get these weird wacky psychedelic kaleidoscopic inserts, and I mean in a stoner film this would probably serve more purpose, but in a movie like this it felt totally random. To be fair at the end a character does mention about something that happened years ago that somewhat mildly justifies these inserts, but even then having so much of them throughout the film felt like a useless gimmick. I’m all for filmmakers trying something different and unique visually, but as long as it serves a purpose to the overall narrative, which in this case it did not.

It’s really disappointing as I’m a major fan of the Coen Brothers works, however this was such a messy misfire, I’m honestly shocked it made it through to actual release. It’s silly but not in a fun way, featuring wasted talent and bland gags, and one should simply drive away from this as far as possible.

Overall score: 2/10

getting a spritual kick in the nuts on NY. 5g shrooms (1/1/24)

(missing pictures)

for the last month of 2023, I was feeling a call for a heroic dose shroom trip. I practically jumped at the opportunity, buying 7 grams of jedi from my usual shop, planning out a time, place and setting. I was granted an opportunity to be alone at my mom's house to dog-sit, of course I took the offer (though I didn't really have a choice otherwise).

fast-forward to new year's eve, my sister, kip, had come over to share a bottle of champagne and watch tv. I asked him to trip-sit for me, which he agreed. kip had trip-sat me a few times previously and was surprisingly quite skilled at it. we both headed to bed around 9pm.

my sister had gone back to our apartment early in the morning, and so my preparation began. I outlined my intentions and contingencies I needed in case things went south. I had kip's number readily available on my phone, cartoons on standby on the television, and had no plans to go anywhere. looking at my 7 grams of capsules, I felt apprehension. I had been feeling a looming sense of slight anxiety towards this trip, due to the high dose and strain I had little experience with; one of my handful of mistakes when going into this trip. I decided to listen to instinct and cut the dose down to 5.5 grams (a smart choice on my end).

I lay on the couch for about 30 minutes after taking the capsules, preparing myself for whatever was about to come. that small, persistent voice of uncertainty had found its way into my thoughts again, repeating “what if something goes wrong?”. I tried my hardest to sideline this thought, though I probably should have investigated the source of it rather than simply ignore it.

I managed to calm myself down right as the mushrooms hit, though now I was slightly anxious about the nausea I was experiencing. I told myself over and over “it's alright, just relax and let things pass. there's no need to fight it, that will make things worse” I slowly calmed down enough to survey my, strangely familiar, surroundings. I started to feel a sense of unfamiliarity with my surroundings and sensory input, though I couldn't place why they all felt as though I'd seen it before. had I seen this before? I tried not to worry too much about it, still aware of myself and what I had taken.

the visuals began to intensify. everything was in motion: the floor was a flowing liquid trapped underneath a see-through solid. the christmas tree's plastic branches and needles all waved as if being moved by an unseen wind, even patterns themselves all flowed and warped incomprehensibly the more I looked at them. I remember thinking to myself “huh, so those shroom visual replication videos are accurate after all,”. though still, that voice in the back of my mind continued to sow uncertainty into my mind no matter how hard I tried to ignore it. even though things were still good, I decided to give my sister a call and asked him to come over, feeling that small anxiety-riddled thought peek through. luckily for me, he has the day off due to the holiday and told me he would come over. he also told me that our mom was going to be coming home soon, around 1:30. I needed to get out of here, but there was nothing I could do right now as I was alone. I didn't let this cause panic, I had other things to focus on at the moment, fractals and kaleidoscopic patterns clouded my peripheral vision.

I closed my eyes and focused on what I was seeing. I've had complex closed eye visuals before, but what I was experiencing in that moment was beyond words, I remember thinking those words to myself. complex shimmering gold and white tubing covered in an eye-adjacent patterning, every few seconds shifting into something else entirely. for some reason, even though I had wanted to break through, I fought to keep my eyes open. I wasn't sure why I was resisting so hard, I was enjoying the patterns and impossible shapes.

I remember closing my eyes again and becoming part of a hexagonal grid; solid black with a slight purple tint and rainbow outlining each hexagon. I fell into place perfectly in sync with the others. “what does this have to do with my set intentions? is there a meaning to this?”, I thought to myself, attempting to try and connect dots that weren't there. “it doesn't matter anymore. focus on what's happening now,” the hexagon next to me telepathically gave me a gentle scolding. this time, even when I opened my eyes, I would always find myself back on this grid. every time drifting back into my designated place.

I hear the door to the garage open and shut, bringing me back to my body. my sister had arrived, the dogs were outside so he let them in (a bit of context, my mom has 2 dogs: a pyrenees (pop) and a pekingese + shih tzu mix (tucker)). I got off the couch to come greet him, which made pop jump up on me. keep in mind, he's taller than me and when he jumps he puts his paws on my shoulders. of course, being under the influence and having a 120lb dog jump on me knocks me back a touch. the two dogs look very strange to me, tucker's fur was flowing backwards and pop, just for a short moment, was green and had an extra leg. below is a gross approximation of what I mean, I’m no painter but it gets my point across.

I sat back down on the couch with my sister as he put on a cooking show to watch. the best way to describe what the TV looked like to me is an AI generated video. the resolution was somehow both lower and higher at the same time, with people on the screen having very defined outer edges to their shape yet missing textures and details. we didn't watch TV for very long; I don't think we got through even a single episode of the show he had put on. instead, I was asked to start gathering my things so we could go home. getting up, let alone walking while the floor melts under you is already a difficult task, not to mention I had to go upstairs to grab my things. I somehow managed to make it up the stairs despite them wobbling beneath me. and, albeit very slowly, started to gather my clothes. once I had everything, we hopped in the car and headed home. I had my earbuds in listening to music for the 15-minute drive. my favorite song at the moment was 13 minutes long, so I didn't have to fuss with the music much.

I very much enjoyed being in the car while I was peaking, everything was shifting, warping, disappearing and reappearing. the dashboard was green and bubbling as if it were a liquid. for the first half of the ride, however, I was starting to worry I had gotten stuck in a time loop, we passed the same stoplights multiple times (or so I believed, the road we were on has many very similar stoplight placements) and I even made sure to make note of what buildings we were passing. I was relieved when we didn't pass them a second time. it was strange, everything seemed as if I had seen it before, but I could swear I hadn't. it was as if my consciousness had been replaced by someone else, someone new who had never been in this reality before. was I dead? how could I be dead and alive at the same time? I tried not to let the experience bother me. I knew it was a pretty common effect of mushrooms. I drew my attention towards the window. watching cars pass in front of us while we were stopped was intriguing, they looked more futuristic, their tires having no rims and not even touching the frame. the cars left trails behind them as they passed, I wondered how fast they were going. even the car my sister and I were in was entirely different. instead of black, it became mostly a cream-white, with red and blue accents as well as yellow star accents. it was no longer a car, it was a comet, a bringer of both light and afterlife, but what was it doing here? I didn't let it bother me. I didn't die, I knew I wasn't going to die, I would be home soon.

we finally arrived at the apartment building, much to my disappointment (I wanted to be in the car for a little longer). I, again, was very slow to gather my things and head towards the stairs. the texture of the sidewalk below me was morphing and swirling in a way that was beautiful, in a sense. we live on the third floor, so the stairs were slightly more difficult this time, even sober, I get winded going up them. following kip felt like being led by a stranger to a place you've never been, however not in a negative sense. as we got through our door, I headed straight to my room to, finally, lay down again.

it wasn't long before kip came into my room and asked if I wanted to go to the store with him. of course, I declined as I wasn't willing to trip in public, that would not have ended well for either of us, especially on such a high dose. he asked if it would be okay for him to go by himself, and, while not really able to pay attention to what was happening, I told him it was okay. this was one mistake I had made on my part that had led to my downfall at the end of the trip.

kip said to call if I needed anything and left. I decided to close my eyes and put some music on again. I started having the same problem as earlier, resisting closing my eyes for too long. I started to get anxious. kip had been gone for a while and I was still tripping. the anxiety worsened, was I going to be high forever? why has it not worn off by now? where is kip? at this point I had started to lose control of the situation, I was completely freaked out. in a panic, I tried to give kip a call, no answer. I try again, no answer. I text him asking where he is, no answer. I cried. I needed to talk to someone, anyone. I gave my grandparents a call, of course, they didn't answer. I ended up calling my mom, who, thankfully, picked up. she and her boyfriend were driving home from somewhere, so I was able to talk to both of them. however, I had to be very particular about what I did and did not mention. ironically, my mom had given me a “don't do drugs” spiel on christmas eve. instead, I said I was anxious because I felt sick which, admittedly, wasn't a lie. I just needed to talk to someone. they talked to me for awhile, as I listened while sobbing and panicked. I didn't know who I was, where I was or what was happening, I was scared and alone. I just wanted kip to come home. eventually, my grandpa had called me back, I ended my call with my mom and talked with him instead. I was still very upset, and it didn't seem like I would calm down unless kip came home.

finally, after about 30 or so minutes, kip called me. I immediately answered. he asked me if I was okay, I answered with a very upset and tearful “nooo….”. everything was still morphing and shifting, the floor was still moving, and the kinetic sand I was playing with still spiraled infinitely into fractals. I never thought I would feel so afraid of seeing fractals. kip told me he was on his way home, which helped alleviate some anxiety. I asked him about 3 or 4 times when he would be home as I watched the minutes on my phone pass slowly.

after a very long and tear-filled 10 minutes, I finally saw kip's car pull into his parking spot. his car seemed to clip into another car as he reversed, I had to ask him afterward if the cars I saw there were even real. I watched him get out from my window and waved to him, he waved back. I was happy to see him come home, I had been alone for what felt like multiple hours (it was in fact 1 hour). he and I hung out in my room for awhile, long enough for me to calm down and stop crying. luckily, I was coming down and, subtly, everything had stopped moving and gone back to normal. I felt like my consciousness was suddenly thrust back into my body, where it belonged. it took a good hour of getting used to being me again, I was having intense tunnel vision and still felt slightly displaced.

while I did make a few very disastrous mistakes during this trip- being moved while peaking, my trip sitter leaving and resisting the trip- I feel like overall this was a positive experience. it was extremely good, then extremely bad, then fine. and while I most likely won't be repeating this experience soon, I feel like there's still more for me to learn from psychedelics, and I plan on doing so with more respect for them than I had before this trip.

What Is Psychedelic Light Therapy and How Can It Help You?

In recent years, there has been a surge of interest in alternative therapies for mental health and well-being, with one of the most intriguing emerging modalities being psychedelic light therapy. Combining elements of psychedelic art, light therapy, and neuroplasticity, psychedelic light therapy (PLT) offers a unique and immersive experience that promises to enhance mental clarity, emotional healing, and even creativity. This innovative treatment is gaining traction among those seeking holistic approaches to mental health, as well as individuals curious about the potential therapeutic benefits of light and sensory stimulation.

But what exactly is psychedelic light therapy near me Fulton, MS, and how does it work? Can it help with conditions like anxiety, depression, PTSD, or stress? In this post, we’ll explore the ins and outs of psychedelic light therapy, its potential benefits, and why people are turning to this novel treatment.

What Is Psychedelic Light Therapy?

Psychedelic light therapy is a form of therapy that uses light patterns, colors, and visual stimuli to induce altered states of consciousness. By combining visually stimulating, often kaleidoscopic light displays with therapeutic techniques, PLT aims to enhance the brain's natural healing abilities, support emotional processing, and promote a sense of mental clarity and emotional well-being.

While psychedelic light therapy draws inspiration from the visual effects and heightened perceptions associated with psychedelic substances (such as LSD or psilocybin), it does not involve any chemical substances. Instead, the therapy relies solely on the power of light and visual stimulation to stimulate brain activity and create a therapeutic experience.

PLT sessions typically take place in a comfortable setting, with participants lying down or sitting while exposed to a series of dynamic light patterns. The light may be projected onto the walls or ceiling, or participants may wear special glasses or headsets designed to deliver light patterns directly to the eyes.

The visual experience is often paired with soothing music or soundscapes, further enhancing the effect. The combination of visual stimuli and audio cues can help to engage both the visual and auditory senses, promoting relaxation, focus, and mindfulness.

The Science Behind Psychedelic Light Therapy

Psychedelic light therapy works by stimulating the brain in ways that enhance neural plasticity and promote emotional and psychological healing. Light has long been known to have a profound effect on the brain, influencing everything from circadian rhythms to mood regulation.

Light exposure is known to stimulate the pineal gland, which is responsible for producing melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep and wake cycles. This effect on the pineal gland is one of the reasons light therapy is so effective in treating conditions like seasonal affective disorder (SAD), insomnia, and jet lag.

In the case of psychedelic light therapy, the goal is to use specific patterns and colors of light to activate different brain regions, encourage deep relaxation, and stimulate the release of feel-good neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine. These neurotransmitters play key roles in mood regulation, motivation, and emotional well-being.

Additionally, the immersive nature of the light experience can help quiet the mind, promote mindfulness, and foster a sense of emotional openness. Similar to the effects of meditation, PLT can help participants gain a new perspective on their emotions and thought patterns, potentially facilitating emotional breakthroughs and healing.

The Benefits of Psychedelic Light Therapy

1. Enhanced Mood and Emotional Well-Being

One of the most significant benefits of psychedelic light therapy is its potential to improve mood and emotional well-being. The sensory stimulation provided by the light patterns can trigger the release of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, which are known to boost mood, reduce anxiety, and alleviate depression. By promoting the release of these "feel-good" chemicals, PLT offers a natural and non-invasive way to elevate mood and support emotional regulation.

For people experiencing conditions like depression, generalized anxiety, or stress, the ability to regulate their emotions through a non-pharmaceutical method can be a game-changer.

2. Relieving Stress and Anxiety

PLT is especially helpful for individuals dealing with high levels of stress and anxiety. The gentle, rhythmic patterns of light have a calming effect on the nervous system, helping to lower heart rates, reduce muscle tension, and promote relaxation. Just as meditation and mindfulness practices have been shown to reduce stress and anxiety, the immersive nature of PLT provides a similar experience, guiding the individual into a state of calm and emotional release.

By quieting the mind and encouraging deep relaxation, PLT can create a mental environment conducive to healing and inner peace.

3. Improving Sleep Quality

Because light exposure has such a strong impact on the brain's sleep-wake cycle, psychedelic light therapy can be an effective way to improve sleep quality. The calming and relaxing effects of the therapy help regulate melatonin production, which is essential for maintaining a healthy sleep cycle.

For those who struggle with insomnia or disrupted sleep patterns, PLT could help reset the body’s internal clock, allowing individuals to experience more restorative sleep. Additionally, the stress-relieving effects of PLT can help ease the anxiety that often prevents people from falling asleep or staying asleep.

4. Boosting Creativity and Cognitive Function

The immersive, altered states of consciousness facilitated by psychedelic light therapy can also enhance creativity and cognitive function. The novel light patterns stimulate the brain, leading to heightened neural activity and greater connection between different regions of the brain. This can result in improved problem-solving skills, increased creativity, and enhanced mental clarity.

For artists, writers, or anyone seeking a creative boost, PLT can provide a fresh perspective and a unique way to access deeper parts of the subconscious mind. The experience can help overcome mental blocks, inspire new ideas, and encourage novel thinking.

5. Assisting with Emotional Trauma and Healing

Psychedelic light therapy near me Fulton, MS may also support the healing of emotional trauma. Just as certain psychedelic experiences have been shown to promote emotional breakthroughs, PLT uses light to stimulate parts of the brain associated with emotional processing. This can help individuals confront past trauma, release repressed emotions, and gain new insights into their experiences.

By creating a safe and controlled environment for emotional exploration, PLT can provide an opportunity for deep healing, allowing individuals to move forward with a sense of release and renewal.

6. Improving Mental Clarity and Focus

Psychedelic light therapy helps individuals enter a meditative, deeply focused state. This heightened focus not only calms the mind but can also improve mental clarity and attention. For individuals dealing with mental fog, distraction, or lack of focus, PLT can help sharpen the mind and encourage greater mental acuity. This benefit is especially helpful for those working in high-pressure environments or individuals seeking improved performance in creative or academic fields.

7. Supporting Personal Growth and Self-Discovery

Beyond its emotional and cognitive benefits, psychedelic light therapy offers a space for self-exploration and personal growth. The altered states of consciousness induced by the light patterns can help individuals access deeper parts of their psyche, fostering greater self-awareness and personal insight. This can be a transformative experience, especially for those on a journey of self-discovery or looking to make positive changes in their lives.

How to Experience Psychedelic Light Therapy Near You

If you’re interested in experiencing psychedelic light therapy, it’s important to find a qualified practitioner or facility that offers this type of treatment. Many wellness centers, holistic healing centers, and even some meditation studios are beginning to offer PLT as part of their services. Typically, these sessions are offered in a controlled environment with trained facilitators who guide participants through the process.

When looking for psychedelic light therapy near me, make sure to do thorough research into the background and qualifications of the practitioners or centers. Reading reviews, asking about the types of equipment used, and confirming the therapist’s experience in light-based therapies can help you find a provider that meets your needs.

Is Psychedelic Light Therapy Right for You?

While psychedelic light therapy has shown promise for a variety of conditions, it’s essential to remember that it may not be suitable for everyone. If you have a history of certain mental health conditions (such as severe anxiety, psychosis, or bipolar disorder), it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional before exploring PLT. In some cases, altered states of consciousness can trigger intense emotions or unwanted side effects.

That being said, for most people, PLT is a safe and effective way to experience emotional healing, mental clarity, and relaxation. Whether you're looking to reduce stress, improve your mood, enhance creativity, or heal emotional trauma, psychedelic light therapy offers a unique and powerful approach to well-being.

Conclusion

Psychedelic light therapy is an exciting and innovative treatment that harnesses the power of light and visual stimulation to promote emotional healing, mental clarity, and overall well-being. By combining therapeutic light patterns with a relaxing, immersive experience, PLT offers a new way to achieve deeper self-awareness, alleviate stress, and even unlock creativity.

As more people seek alternative therapies for mental health and personal growth, psychedelic light therapy is becoming a popular option for those looking to enhance their lives and achieve greater emotional balance. If you're interested in exploring this novel therapy, seek out a qualified provider near you and take the first step toward experiencing its transformative benefits.

In the center of Incredible India, one of the most popular states to visit is Rajasthan. However, did you know that Rajasthan only has one hill station, despite being one of the biggest states in the nation? As a result, it is a necessary component of all Rajasthan vacation packages.

There is only one famous hill station in Rajasthan in the southern part of the state – Mount Abu. It is one of the most well-kept secrets among all the best places to visit in Rajasthan.

The vastness of the golden Thar desert covers most of Rajasthan. Rajasthan is home to the Aravali mountain range, which is among the world's oldest fold mountains, in addition to the desert. This mountain range, which is the oldest, has been eroding for a very long period.

Due to this erosion, the Aravali ranges are not continuous and have many gaps in them. This is the major reason why there is only one hill station in Rajasthan. There are several small hillocks across the state which the former rulers have used to their advantage by building some historic forts in Rajasthan.

Mount Abu – Rajasthan’s Only Hill Station

Mount Abu is the lone hill station in Rajasthan and is located in the verdant Aravalli Range. It provides tourists with a singular fusion of scenic natural beauty and historical charm. The name "Mount Abu" is supposedly derived from the serpent "Arbuda," which is credited with saving Lord Shiva's prized bull, Nandi, in folklore.

Mount Abu is a great place to escape the intense heat of Rajasthan's plains because it is situated high above them. Because of its high elevation and consistently excellent weather, the town attracts a lot of tourists who are seeking a respite from the hot plains.

Beyond its historical sites, Mount Abu enthralls with its gorgeous Nakki Lake, one of Rajasthan's tranquil lakes that provides a tranquil atmosphere for leisurely boat rides amid the verdant surroundings. The tallest summit in the Aravalli Range, Guru Shikhar, offers expansive views that round off this well-known Rajasthani hill station's visual feast.

Mount Abu's advantageous location makes it a perfect retreat for exploring local culture as well as a refreshing haven from the scorching Rajasthani plains. One of the best hill stations in Rajasthan, Mount Abu, unveils as a tranquil paradise whether you're admiring the Dilwara Temples, taking a boat ride on Nakki Lake, or just relaxing and enjoying the mountain air.

Places To Visit in Mount Abu

Dilwara Temples: A trip to this Rajasthani hill station wouldn't be complete without taking in the breathtaking views of the Dilwara Jain Temples. Take in the exquisite Jain architecture of these historic temples, which are evidence of Mount Abu's diverse cultural heritage.

Nakki Lake: Take a boat ride on the tranquil lake to experience the atmosphere of this well-known Rajasthani hill station. Boating at Nakki Lake, which is surrounded by hills and has attractions like Gandhi Ghat and Toad Rock, is one of the best things to do in Rajasthan.

Sunset Point: As the sun sets and the sky is painted a rainbow of colors, take in the magnificent spectacle.

Mount Abu Wildlife Sanctuary: Explore the diverse flora and fauna at the wildlife sanctuary, a haven for nature lovers. This is one of the best places to enjoy the monsoon in Rajasthan.

Mount Abu encourages you to immerse yourself in its rich and alluring beauty, unfolding like a kaleidoscope of culture, religion, and nature. Mount Abu has everything, regardless of your interests—history, environment, or just a way to escape the intense heat of the desert.

CONCLUSION

To sum up, the hill station retreats of Rajasthan provide peaceful havens amidst their natural beauty and soothing environs. Mount Abu's verdant surroundings and Kumbhalgarh's cool climate, respectively, offer a welcome break from the scorching desert heat and an unforgettable view of Rajasthan's varied landscapes. With everything from picturesque vistas to storied temples, each hill station entices visitors with its own special appeal, promising a restorative experience amidst the peace and quiet of nature. A welcome diversion from the bustling cities and parched plains of the state, Rajasthan's hill stations provide remarkable experiences and a chance to experience adventure, leisure, or cultural discovery.
