I have had my unit for a couple of weeks and so far really love it. I`m using for relaxation and stress relief. I find that I have eye fatigue when using am I doing something wrong? I use 2 times a day, any tips would be appreciated! I have all the glasses, any certain colors do better?:confused:

As each person is different, you eyes will let you know if the light level is too much. Enjoy.

Would like to know if your eyes are closed how come you can see the images and lights? And why do your eyes get tired? Just been using a few weeks and really love so far the results!:eusa_dance:
You see lights and images through your closed eyes because your eye lids are quite thin and so light can be perceived through them. Your eyes & brain perceive patterns in the way the lights flicker on and off. Why we perceive patterns, I don't know. Good question.Quote:

This whole experience is so new to me, I guess I`m so facinated by all the different designs I see and images. About how long to get really good at relaxing and getting the most from benefits from this system?:eusa_clap: I do also really enjoy the pre-programmed sessions which I play different meditation cd`s.
I really enjoy watching the lights and patterns as well. I often put my Proteus on an "entertainment" program, hook up my music to my headphones and play something like Pink Floyd and enjoy the trip. Just for the sake of enjoyment.Quote:

Having said that, I'm really pleased to hear that you are getting so much out of your Sirius. It is a good, solid machine. Hey, here's something, I was the one who named the Sirius. :hello2:

Thats great! Why do you find the Proteus better? You mention the lights, is there a difference? With my unit I find the flashing tends to bother my eyes but hope this stops with time.Are there people who can never adjust? Just wondering.:)
I think it's personal preference. My first machine was a Proteus and that is the standard I got use to.Quote:
