HOW DOES ONE CREATE A PHOSPHENE?
A phosphene is created by focusing, for approximately 20 seconds, on a white "natural daylight" light bulb placed at a distance of two or three yards (meters). These short periods of focusing are not at all tiring for the eyes and, on the contrary, they constitute an excellent eye exercise. In the dark, the phosphene appears in the form of a patch of changing colors which persists for three minutes.
Contraindications.
The colors of the phosphene.
After switching off the phosphenic lamp:
- Short green phase
- During 1 minute: yellow surrounded by a red border
- During the following minute the dominant color of the phosphene is red/pink
- During the 3rd minute the phosphene is blue
Note: depending on the person, the phosphene used for educational purposes can last between 3 and 4 minutes and it can be subject to brief periods where it disappears.

DEFINITION: Phosphenes are all the subjective sensations of light (definition in the LITTRÉ dictionary). They correspond to what ophthalmologists call images of retinal persistence, residual images, or afterimages.
GENERALITIES: Phosphenes constitute a wonderful method for analyzing all actions exerted on the brain. They allow us to determine, with precision, what is favorable or unfavourable for the good functioning of the brain and for the individual as a whole.
When we associate phosphenes with any traditional or modern exercise of personal fulfillment, we multiply the effects in a considerable way. In this manner, we obtain the development of the memory, attention, intelligence, the spirit of initiative and creativity which makes it a wonderful educational tool.
Phosphenes constitute a veritable accelerator of mental processes. They allow us to exert a direct action on our thoughts, their content, their quality and their organization, thus optimizing the results of reflection and all intellectual effort.
Phosphenes were at the origin of all the discoveries made by Doctor LEFEBURE.
Phosphenes are primarily made up of movements and rhythms. Movement and rhythms comprise the very definition of energy. This energy corresponds to the cerebral rhythms. Phosphenes are the amplified reflection of our brain functions. They show us very precisely how our brain works: the rhythmic functioning of its two hemispheres. Attention, memory and thinking depend on the regularity of the cerebral oscillation.
