Is the content in the Somadome only 20 minutes? Why?

There is a scientific and psychological reason the Somadome sessions are 20 minutes. It takes the brain a minimum of 12 minutes to access the deep states reached in effective meditation. The mind can’t access theta – the state needed for manifestation, or delta – the state needed for deep healing (among others),  unless it is capable of accessing this state. Otherwise you are just ‘sitting there.’ Yes, it is good to sit silently and try to meditate – but if we aren’t actually getting there – we aren’t actually reaping the real benefits of mindfulness – of visualization. The Somadome gets you there. 

Energy medicine is only practiced in 20 minute increments. Acupuncturists will not treat you for less than 20 minutes, and traditionally sessions are in segments of 20 minutes. This is the minimum amount of time that it takes to enable the chi to begin to flow. 

20 minutes is an effective window for a session. It can be squeezed in instead of a coffee break. It can be more powerful and shorter than a power nap.
