Meet our guest

Raffaele, a polymath with expertise in Wall Street finance, business development, & the beauty industry, has a lifelong fascination with the human brain.

After exploring philosophy & studying energy medicine, he transformed insights from his trauma-filled childhood into personal healing. Now, he shares his passion for brainwave technologies, particularly through his innovative product, the roXiva light.

This device uses stroboscopic light & sound to guide the brain into specific states, promoting relaxation, focus, or energy through brainwave entrainment. Raffaele is dedicated to helping others explore how brainwaves shape their experiences

Key takeaways

• Trauma narrows emotional responses, preventing both deep sadness & true happiness
• The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis regulates mood & emotional states
• Unprocessed negative experiences are buried & transmitted, affecting mental health
• Suppressing emotions can lead to physical ailments, like heart disease, as unresolved energy becomes trapped in the nervous system
• Cells have memory, allowing them to recognize & react to past stimuli for survival
• The default mode network (DMN), formed by brain regions, shapes our sense of self & internal dialogue
• Sound can alter consciousness, enabling immersive, transformative experiences, as demonstrated by Robert Monroe
• Introducing multiple stimuli can induce states where we lose our sense of self positively
• Neurofeedback trains the brain by reinforcing desired responses & inhibiting unwanted ones, reshaping brain activity
• Gamma brainwaves during deep sleep help cerebrospinal fluid cleanse the brain, preventing cognitive decline
• The visual cortex occupies the most brain real estate, emphasizing the importance of visual stimuli
• The brain is wired to notice novelty, making new & different stimuli essential for engagement
• Wearable devices like TENS clips can be stacked with most practices, except neurofeedback, without disrupting light pathways to the eyes
