Aquitane Sundial Ring
Replica of Ancient Time Telling Tool
Almost 900 years ago, in 1152, Eleanor of Aquitaine gave a
sundial like this one to King Henry II of England so that
Henry would know when to return from the hunt for their
visits. Today, the Aquitane Sundial Ring, named for Henry’s
lover, will help you know the time of day. Suspend this
replica dial by its black satin cord and on sunny days a thin
ray of sun shines through a tiny hole to illuminate a number, revealing the time.

Laxman
Truly in a class all its own, the Laxman ‘Innertainment’ System is the next generation of
light and sound mind machines. The revolutionary technology combines the most effective
light and sound advances with the features of a state-of-the-art multimedia device. The
result is a sensory phenomenon that simulataneously atunes your brain waves to auditory
and visual stimulation, creating a ground-breaking display of
colorful shapes and a sensation unlike any other. Prepare for a dream-like state where
your mind is unleashed to create a psychedelic kaleidoscopic of geometric structures in
response to what you see, hear, and feel.
This incredible sesnory experience is created
through “the ganzfeld effect,” first documented in
the 1930s by psychologist Wolfgang Metzger, who
determined that when subjects stared into a featureless field of vision, their electroencephalograms were altered and each experienced hallucinations. When your entire field of vision becomes
completely featureless, the brain amplifies the
senses when no depth or outlines of objects can be seen. Choose from over four hours of
professionally produced ambient and nature sound arrangements, including classical
impulse frequencies, binaural-beats and hemicircle sounds. You can also use the LaxEdit
software to upload your own MP3 files for light and sound sessions. How will your brain
respond? What will you see? How will you define your innertainment experience? There's
only one way to find out.
