The Miracle Mind Magic Machine and Its Effects on the Pineal Gland

by Linda Sechrist

Individuals in search of a method to expand consciousness, feel connected to the universe, sense the oneness that the mystics talk about, relax, alleviate stress, calm the body, help with sleep disorders, increase productivity, enhance cerebral blood flow and achieve a peaceful state of mind might try the Miracle Mind Magic Machine. Catherine Riley offers 30-minute sessions at Goddess I AM, in Naples, and provides personal immersive experienced in clients’ homes by appointment only. As a distributor of the machine, she also provides 10-minute demonstrations at health shows in the area.

Riley first experienced the machine at Mind, Body Spirit Festival, in London, UK, in 2012. She felt that it expanded her consciousness, relaxed her body and gave a tremendous amount of well-being, as well as a connection to the universe. Having been in the health and wellness industry for many years, she wanted to know more about how the machine worked and its potential benefits. After researching and using it on a regular basis, she found it had huge potential to dramatically improve people’s lives. The original light machine was developed by a neurologist and a psychologist to help deal with stress control and change brain waves to enter into a deep state of peace and relaxation. “The 16 stroboscopic lights flicker and pulse white light at different frequencies on the forehead area, sometimes known as our spiritual center, or third eye, creating an internal vision of bright lights, shapes, colors or images, with some people reporting psychedelic effects. It directly induces a positive effect on the pineal gland, which is responsible for producing hormones that play a key role in moods and sleep cycle. While one session can offer a profound shift, a series of six or more sessions is recommended for more insightful journeys and long-term benefits,” says Riley.

Riley advises that Dr. Joe Dispenza, a neuroscientist, researcher and New York Times bestselling author who teaches individuals how to heal their mind through meditation and mindfulness, best describes the positive effect of light on the pineal gland. “The pineal is a tiny gland between the back of throat and the back of the head, which allows us to tune into higher dimensions of time and space.”

As a biological antenna, the pineal is a transducer of information and energy from the quantum field, turning it into vivid imagery and allowing the individual to have an inner vision. Research shows that the pineal has some very unusual properties when it is stimulated by light. Tiny crystals inside begin to shimmer, and once activated, they become sensitive to frequencies of light not perceived by the senses. The pineal allows energy to be transformed into neurotransmitters such as serotonin and melatonin and their derivatives of powerful antioxidants which fit into receptor sites throughout the body. These healing antioxidants are anti-heart disease, anti-aging, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial.

Miraculously, the body tweaks these powerful molecules into benzodiazepine, which is like valium in the body. Shutting off the fight-or-flight survival messages, the body is put into stasis and relaxes. Another tweak, and dimethyltryptamine is produced. This is a very powerful hallucinogenic that allows the brain to perceive another world. “Of course, you have to practice with Dr. Dispenza’s pineal gland meditation on his website or use several sessions of the Miracle Mind Magic machine,” says Riley.

The Miracle Mind Magic machine is a hypnagogic light. It is not a medical treatment or therapeutic device. Instead, it turns to consciousness as a state of health and well-being that is always available when not obscured by daily distractions and thought processes. Stepping back into the state where you can access this state of well-being can assist in letting go of any imbalances that may be expressed in your energetic, emotional, astral or physical bodies.

Fort Myers Resident

Work: I retired after 30-plus years working in Lee County’s Early Childhood programs. I’m now enjoying my second chapter as a mindfulness meditation teacher. I offer classes and mentoring through Metta Mindfulness and through Caloosahatchee Mindfulness, the nonprofit that I currently chair.

Proudest achievement: I generally don›t think about my accomplishments. Instead, I take great joy in the accomplishments of my own children and grandchildren, as well as those of all my former students and their families.

Expectations for the future: I’m sure that the future will be filled with unexpected changes over which I have no control. I’ve received many challenges and blessings over the past decades and expect that will continue. I try not to have too many expectations, and instead remain hopeful.

Favorite Websites: As I continue my studies in mindfulness meditation, I enjoy reading Tricycle Magazine, The Buddhist Review’s website. I also appreciate the thought-provoking writing and interviews at On Being, The Marginalian, and Sapien. These may be more blogs than websites.

Local or global causes supported: Locally, I support Harry Chapin Food Bank, the Fort Myers Rescue Mission and the Gulf Coast Human Society, which serve suffering humans and animals. Through Caloosahatchee Mindfulness, we provide stress reduction workshops for local organizations. I appreciate those working for justice. I support ACLU and the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Favorite thing about Natural Awakenings: The focus on local community activities and services. I love their monthly calendar that allows me to sample offerings and plan my month.

Where I pick up my copy of Natural Awakenings: I find it several places that I frequent—Heart Space Yoga, Ada’s and Lotus Blossom Clinic.

Most frequented healthy food restaurant: I love the breakfast bowls at First Watch. As a vegetarian, I appreciate having options.

How I support my community: Through offering mindfulness sessions online or in person, I try to help people lower their levels of stress and calm their nervous systems. When COVID first began, I started two Friday Zoom Mindfulness sessions. I thought the sessions would eventually fade away, but we are still meeting.

Favorite inspirational quote: “When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe.” John Muir

What I am doing to be the change I want to see in the world: I maintain my own practice that helps me recognize suffering in myself and others and meet that suffering with compassion. And, I am committed to Caloosahatchee Mindfulness’ vision of a connected community where mindfulness improves the quality of life and well-being of Southwest Floridians.
