PandoraStar

Deep Trance Meditation Machine

PandoraStar is an advanced light machine that uses 12 stroboscopic LED lights arranged in a sacred geometrical pattern. It can be programmed to produce high-frequency light for the brain to decode in unique ways. The light is often used for entering meditation, hypnosis, and trance states for personal and spiritual development. It can help users achieve deep states of relaxation, enhance creativity, improve focus, and facilitate personal transformation.

People often report experiencing vivid closed-eye visuals, time distortion, lucid dreamlike and visionary states, and out-of-body experiences while using the light.

PandoraStar at Serenus Light (Oʻahu)


At Serenus Light in Makakilo, Kapolei, we use PandoraStar as a powerful support tool for meditation, relaxation, and spiritual exploration. Sessions take place in our tranquil hale, where you’ll rest comfortably with eyes closed beneath the light as curated programs guide your brain into deep, restorative states.

You can experience PandoraStar as a solo session or combined with our other offerings—such as guided meditation, sound healing, and PEMF—to create an immersive journey for your mind, body, and spirit.


How does PandoraStar work?

  • Watch 12 stroboscopic LEDs through closed eyes as they flicker at specially chosen frequencies for the program.

  • The electromagnetic activity in your brain naturally begins to follow the frequencies of the light, known as Brain Entrainment.

  • Research shows that particular frequencies of brain activity cause positive effects e.g. increased production of endorphins.

What to Expect

What to Expect in a PandoraStar Session at Serenus Light

  • Arrival & intention: We’ll welcome you into our space, review safety guidelines, and invite you to set a simple intention for your session (relaxation, clarity, creativity, etc.).

  • Getting comfortable: You’ll lie back on a padded table or recliner, close your eyes, and rest under the light. Headphones or gentle background music may be used to deepen the experience.

  • Light journey: The program runs for a set amount of time, guiding your brainwaves with flickering light through closed eyes. You may see colors, patterns, tunnels of light, or feel a sense of floating or timelessness.

  • Integration: After the session ends, we’ll give you a few moments to ground, drink water, and share anything you’d like. This is a great time to journal or integrate insights.

FAQ

Do my eyes stay open or closed?
Your eyes stay closed the entire time. PandoraStar works through flickering light on your closed eyelids, which your brain then interprets as colors, patterns, and visuals.

Will I see “psychedelic” visuals?
Many people describe visuals similar to psychedelic experiences—geometric patterns, tunnels, and vibrant colors—while remaining completely sober and in control. Every brain is different, so experiences vary from person to person.

Do I need meditation experience?
Not at all. PandoraStar is often used to help beginners drop into meditative states more easily, and it can deepen the practice for experienced meditators.
