Welcome to Your Journey with Roxiva Sessions

A Space to Pause

Roxiva Sessions changing the inside feelings

What Are Altered and Expanded States?

Altered and expanded states of consciousness are natural states where the mind shifts out of its usual patterns. Thinking slows, awareness opens, and we become less caught in automatic reactions. In these states, people often find it easier to reflect, access creativity, and allow emotions to move and release.

Many people experience these states naturally through meditation, deep rest, hypnotherapy, or moments of deep absorption. Some seek them through substances, which can carry physical and emotional risks.

Roxiva sessions offer a different approach. By using light and sound together in carefully synchronised rhythms, it gently supports the mind in entering these states without force. This process often referred to as audio-visual entrainment works by guiding the brain into calmer, more receptive patterns.

You may also hear this described as audio visual entrainment, AVE. AVE uses flickering light and rhythmic sound to encourage the brain to match specific frequencies associated with different mental states.

Every body, mind state has an associated pattern of brain activity. AVE supports this process by gently guiding the brain toward patterns that match the goal of the session.

Brainwave States

The Roxiva system can guide users into different brainwave ranges, each linked to different mental, emotional, and physical benefits.

Brainwaves are measured in Hertz (Hz), meaning cycles per second. With light stimulation, this refers to flashes or pulses per second. For example, 10 Hz means 10 pulses per second.

  • Delta (0.5 to 4 Hz) – Deep restorative sleep and physical recovery.
  • Theta (4 to 8 Hz) – Deep relaxation, meditation, creativity, emotional processing.
  • Alpha (8 to 12 Hz) – Calm relaxed alertness and meditative focus.
  • Beta (12 to 30 Hz) – Active thinking, alertness, problem solving, balance is important.
  • SMR (12 to 15 Hz) – A subset of beta often linked with calm focus.
  • Gamma (30+ Hz) – Heightened perception, peak focus, insight, and advanced cognitive processing.

Why These States Matter

When the brain shifts out of its everyday thinking mode, it begins to operate differently. Stress levels can drop, perspective can widen, and feelings of calm, insight, and creativity often emerge.

Lasting change usually begins with a change in awareness. When pressure on the nervous system eases and mental blocks soften, new ways of thinking and responding become available. Roxiva-supported expanded states create the conditions for this by allowing thoughts and feelings to be explored from a gentler place.

From here, change tends to happen naturally, not through effort, but through clarity.

What A Roxiva Session Actually Does

Roxiva sessions help your brain change state.

Most of the time, our brains are busy, alert, and reactive. Even when we try to relax, the mind keeps talking, scanning, planning, or worrying. Roxiva sessions a work by giving the brain a steady external rhythm that it can naturally follow.

Using light and sound together, Roxiva system encourages the brain to slow down and synchronise with those rhythms. This is a natural response, nothing is forced, and you don’t have to concentrate or “do it right.”

  • Mental noise reduces
  • The nervous system moves out of stress mode
  • The body begins to relax
  • Awareness becomes more open and less reactive

You’re not being put into anything. You’re being guided out of constant activation.

This kind of downshifting is often connected with the body’s natural calming pathways, you can read more about that in vagus nerve healing.

How It Works

During a session, you relax with your eyes closed while soft pulses of light and carefully chosen sounds play in rhythm. By gently stimulating the visual system with specific light frequencies, Roxiva sessions support the brain in drifting into a hypnagogic state a naturally occurring space between waking and sleep where deep relaxation, creativity, and expanded awareness can emerge.

Your brain naturally responds to these rhythms by slowing down. There’s no effort involved, it’s something your nervous system already knows how to do.

Roxiva session - What happens

As the mind settles, you’ll often notice the body soften as well. Muscles release, breathing deepens, and areas of tension begin to ease. For many people, deep relaxation naturally brings relief from physical discomfort or pain, as the body is given space to let go.

As the brain settles further, it begins to move out of stress and survival mode. The constant mental noise can soften, and awareness becomes more open and spacious.

If the idea of moving between stress states and calmer states resonates, you may find the polyvagal ladder a helpful way to make sense of it.

Because the experience is guided by rhythm rather than force, it feels natural and supportive. You remain aware, in control, and able to return to everyday awareness with ease.

With repeated sessions, the brain learns these calmer states more easily, and that flexibility often carries into daily life.

What Happens in a Roxiva Session

Sober Psychedelic Experiences

Individual and Group Roxiva Sessions

Roxiva experiences can be enjoyed both one-to-one and in small groups, depending on what feels right for you.

Individual Sessions

Individual sessions offer a quiet, personal space to relax deeply and explore your inner world at your own pace. These sessions are ideal if you’re seeking rest, clarity, emotional processing, or a more tailored experience.

With individual sessions, the focus is entirely on you, allowing space for the nervous system to settle fully and for subtle shifts to unfold naturally. Many people appreciate the privacy and gentle support this setting provides.

Group Sessions

Group sessions offer a different kind of experience. While each person has their own inner journey, there is often a sense of shared presence and connection in the room.

Many people find group experiences surprisingly powerful. The collective calm can deepen relaxation, and there can be a feeling of being held within a shared field of stillness. Group sessions are often used for meditation, sober psychedelic journeying, or simply taking time out together.

Both individual and group sessions are gentle, safe, and non-invasive. There is no right or wrong choice, only what feels most supportive for you at this moment.

FAQ’s For A Roxiva Session

What Are Roxiva Sessions Like?

You lie back and rest with your eyes closed while light and sound play in gentle rhythms. Most people notice their mind quieten and their body soften, sometimes quickly, sometimes gradually. Some sessions feel very simple and restful, others feel more immersive, either way you remain aware and in control throughout.

Do I Need To Do Anything, Or Be Good At Meditation?

No. There’s nothing to perform and nothing to get right. You rest, you listen, you let your nervous system respond in its own way. If your mind wanders, that’s fine, the experience still works as support for relaxation and state change.

Are Roxiva Sessions Safe For Everyone?

For most people it’s gentle and well tolerated, but there are a few situations where we would slow down, adapt, or avoid it. If you have epilepsy, a history of seizures, significant light sensitivity, or you’re unsure for any medical reason, it’s important to check in first and take advice if needed. Emily will always talk it through with you before booking.

Should I Choose An Individual Or Group Session?

Individual sessions are ideal if you want privacy, a quieter setting, or a session shaped more closely around you. Group sessions can feel surprisingly supportive, even though everyone is having their own inner experience, there can be a shared sense of calm in the room. If you’re unsure, Emily can help you choose based on what you’re looking for right now.

How Many Sessions Do People Usually Do?

Some people come for a single session as a reset, others prefer a short run so the nervous system learns the calmer state more easily. A good starting point is to try one session and then decide, based on how your body responds and what you’re hoping to get from it.

What Might I Notice Afterwards?

Many people feel calmer, clearer, or more grounded, some feel pleasantly tired, as if their system has finally had a proper exhale. Sometimes emotions feel closer to the surface for a short while, which can be part of the nervous system settling. If anything feels unusual or uncomfortable, it’s always okay to pause and talk it through.

A Gentle Invitation

Roxiva sessions aren’t about fixing yourself or escaping life.

It’s about creating a gentle space to rest.

Turning inward instead of always searching outward.

And allowing the magic that’s already within you to be felt again.

There is nothing to achieve. Nothing to force. Just an invitation to slow down, listen, and begin.
