Tree of Life

What the app does

Maps the ten sefirot and twenty-two paths and leads the practitioner up the Tree one station at a time, with each sefirah’s divine name, colour and attribute held in meditation.

Ways in: Ascent, The Name, repeated, Binaural entrainment. Every session is carried on binaural sound tuned toward theta, the slow rhythm of the edge of sleep that these rites were built to reach. More on the state.

Why the rite works

In Kabbalah the Tree is both a map of how the divine pours into the world and a ladder back up it. Climbing it is contact by correspondence: the practitioner shapes their own mind into each emanation in turn until the shape reaches the Crown.

Questions

Do I need anything besides my phone?

Headphones. The app carries the rite on binaural sound, which only works when each ear hears its own tone.

What is it based on?

The Zohar; Cordovero; the Lurianic tradition. The names, words and order are taken from the source and guided step by step. The full list of sources is in the Library.

Is there an EEG version?

Not yet. EEG neurofeedback editions are coming as a $19.99 add-on per app, built in order of request. They will need a Neurosity Crown headset, sold separately.
