Origins: Stroboscopic Light and Psychedelic History

This episode shows you how light, vibration, and frequency-based technology can shift your brain state in minutes, unlock deep neuroplasticity, release stored trauma, and create coherence that normally takes years of meditation or psychedelic training. You will learn how these tools support performance, resilience, mitochondria, emotional regulation, and advanced biohacking.

Host Dave Asprey sits down with master healer Raffaele Gianfrancesco, whose work draws on energy medicine, Egyptian color healing, vibroacoustics, and light based entrainment. Raffaele trained in the Barbara Brennan lineage and spent years developing methods that shut down the default mode network, activate the thalamocortical circuit, and move people into deep meditative and altered states within minutes. His technology has attracted the attention of consciousness researchers, advanced meditation schools, ketamine clinics, and U. S. Air Force programs studying human resilience and pilot performance. 

Dave and Raffaele break down how vibroacoustic sound, harmonics, cymatics, and flickering light therapy guide the brain into gamma, delta, epsilon, and high resonance states that support clarity, emotional release, and rapid state change. Raffaele explains how vibration affects fascia and trauma storage, how light influences the cerebrospinal fluid and pineal gland, and why coherence is the key to shifting consciousness. They discuss ketamine assisted therapy, remote viewing, the Monroe Institute, the relationship between frequencies and brain states, the history of flickering light therapy, and how certain frequencies help loosen trauma patterns stored in the body. 

You’ll Learn: 

• How vibroacoustic sound and coherent light shut down the default mode network 

• Why fascia, trauma memory, and cerebrospinal fluid respond to vibration 

• How flicker based entrainment maps to gamma, delta, and theta brain states 

• Why the Air Force studies these tools for resilience and reaction speed 

• How ketamine combines with vibration and light to improve neuroplasticity 

• Why coherence, awe, and safety cues are essential for deep emotional release 

• What cymatics, harmonics, and frequency patterns reveal about consciousness
