The potential of your inner light
In this Phosphenism course, inner light, thought and rhythm come together in a practice focused on cognitive development, emotional balance and the exploration of consciousness.
Concentration and memory. Emotional calm. Spiritual exploration. Three complementary areas of practice.

Find your starting point
You will learn how to associate an idea or a piece of learning material with a phosphene. A way to practise attention using an inner visual point of reference.
A taste of what you will practise, with your teacher’s guidance.Part of the method, starting with everyday life.
In Phosphenism, we also work with the light around us: natural light, the lighting in a room and how it relates to what we do. Studying, creating and resting are different activities; learning to observe that difference is part of the method.
01 / AT WORK
The ILO recommends making use of natural light at work. Appropriate lighting helps reduce eyestrain and errors. We start by observing your space and how you feel in it.
Light and wellbeing at work02 / WHEN LEARNING
Philips SchoolVision shows how a multinational applies ambient lighting to children’s learning. By adjusting intensity and colour tone, the classroom offers different conditions for focusing or finding calm.
Hamburg study results reported by Philips. These figures relate to that lighting system.
Our example of light and learning03 / YOUR MOOD
Fewer daylight hours can come with changes in energy, sleep and mood. Seasonal depression is a clinical expression of that relationship. In the course, we observe our energy and mood and practise working with emotional balance.
Light, seasons and moodIn the course, we bring this approach into everyday life: attention for learning and creating, calm for finding your balance and space to explore the subtle.
The method, made simple
Phosphenism, developed by Dr Francis Lefebure, combines work with phosphenes, mental activity and rhythm.
In these practices, we call the irregular, changing luminous image that remains after the light source is removed a phosphene: a visual afterimage.
In the method, we speak of “mental effervescence”: bringing attention and imagination into motion, cultivating calm and making room for a connection with the subtle.

Before you begin
The introductory course is designed for beginners. Your teacher explains the exercises and guides the practice.
This is the method’s term for its dimension of inner exploration and expansion of conscious experience. It is approached as a personal experience, not as a guaranteed extraordinary ability or a scientifically established outcome.
No. This page presents an educational course and personal exploration. Clinical light therapy and psychological or medical treatments have their own aims and protocols. The course does not replace them.
Do not look directly at the sun or improvise with intense light sources. The practices require a suitable source and your teacher’s instructions. If you have an eye condition, photosensitivity or another relevant condition, seek advice before participating.
The in-person course takes place in Barcelona on 7 November 2026 and costs €225. Approximate times: 9:30–14:30 and 16:00–19:00. We will let you know the venue a few days before the course.
