The John Lennon Estate and mindfulness app Lumenate are bringing a fresh perspective to John Lennon’s classic song Mind Games with the release of nine meditative remixes.
Launched on Wednesday (May 1) for Mental Health Awareness Month, these reimagined tracks are designed to guide listeners into a relaxed state through a combination of sound and light.
Lumenate uses the smartphone flashlight to create special light sequences that flicker at specific frequencies. These frequencies are said to nudge the brain into a state between deep meditation and psychedelic experiences. Each of the nine Mind Games mixes is paired with a unique light sequence.
The mixes take Lennon’s original recording and slow it down and extend it to lengths ranging from 5 to 33 minutes, creating a more immersive listening experience. Four of the mixes are “Binaural” versions, meaning they use slightly different frequencies for each ear to create an auditory illusion that can influence brainwaves. These mixes target Beta, Delta, Gamma, and Theta brainwaves, each associated with different mental states.
Sean Ono Lennon, John Lennon’s son, played a role in the project. “I’m very happy to be working with Lumenate on this release for Mental Health Awareness Month,” he said.
“I think our Mind Games project is fun, meaningful, and potentially mind-expanding. I have been using the Lumenate app for my own personal meditations since it launched, and have had many profound experiences.”
He added: “My father was famously into meditation. I remember trying the ‘flicker machine’ he kept in the bedroom, which is what first introduced me to the idea of stroboscopic brain wave induction. I thought it made sense to combine the music of Mind Games with the science of Lumenate. I really hope people enjoy the results as much as I have.”
“It’s been such a privilege working with Sean and The Lennon Estate on this exciting collaboration,” Lumenate co-founder Tom Galea said.
“The journeys it takes you on are so deeply relaxing and emotive, providing a uniquely powerful canvas for exploring your mind. I can’t wait for the world to experience it, it’s already had such a meaningful impact on me personally.”
