The Shiva God Helmet is the same technology used in the God Helmet Experiments, which produced visions of God in some subjects in a neuroscience lab. Other subjects had a range of altered-state experiences, including religious bliss and out-of-body experiences.

The God Helmet is a cutting-edge mind technology made famous by Dr. Michael A. Persinger, and seen on many television documentaries. It has elicited a wide range of spiritual experiences, visions, out-of-body experiences, and even visions of God. There are many online videos showing it in use.

The “Shiva” God Helmet ® is fully endorsed

The God Helmet uses magnetic signals to gently stimulate the brain, eliciting spiritual sensations, moods, and experiences.

The phrase God Helmet was invented by a journalist who wanted to make their article about the work of Dr. Michael A. Persinger more interesting by giving the Koren Helmet (built by Stan Koren) a more impressive name. Although a small percentage of Persinger & Koren’s subjects did have meetings with God (more info), most of the sessions created other experiences. These included out-of-body experiences, visions of an infinite ‘Void’, patterns of light, paranormal episodes, and a range of other experiences and sensations. Although the name God Helmet isn’t really accurate, it’s the only name many people have heard for this kind of apparatus.

These pages will try to explain as much as possible about this technology, which is replicated in the Shiva Neural Stimulation System.

The Koren Helmet is the most important research tool in the science of understanding spirituality, especially the brain’s role

in religious, mystic and spiritual experiences. Religious and spiritual beliefs are another matter, of course.

This is the first time this type of device has been available to the public, as part of the Shiva Neural System.

The God Helmet setup for the Shiva Neural Stimulation System uses four USB sound devices (included with the system) to create eight independent stereo channels. Magnetic fields cycle between four coils on one or both sides of your head. These fields change strength every few milliseconds, so they’re also magnetic signals. You could also think of The God Helmet as conveying information to the brain using a magnetic carrier.



The name God Helmet comes from the fact that a small group (less than two percent) of Persinger’s subjects had meetings with God during Koren Helmet sessions. This is far too small a percentage to justify the name, but the phenomena is so striking that the name seemed right to some journalists and writers. The name stuck.

The God Helmet experiments were first developed to test a theory of how the brain creates religious and mystic experiences. Click HERE for a page with a short overview of that theory.

The Shiva God Helmet used at the God Helmet lab.

The God Helmet feeds information into the brain using fluctuating magnetic fields, and the fields move in two ways.

One of them is quick (several times each second), and the other is very slow (20 to 30 minutes).

The fast motion is the rotation of the fields, cycling between four coils over the temporal lobes. The exact place where the field is applied changes constantly.



Moving the location of the stimulation from one place to another makes it hard for the brain to “get used to” the signal or to “tune it out”. The stimulation moves in a circle. As one place responds, the surrounding ones become quieter, like peaks and valleys in a wave on water.



The slower movement in the two-phases of the standard God Helmet sessions. Each lasts 20 to 30 minutes, making the whole sessions forty to sixty minutes. These “session designs” are based on the most effective ones used in the original laboratory experiments. The first phase uses one signal over one area, and the second phase applies a different signal over another area.

One signal gets positive responses from one side of the brain, and another signal gets positive effects from the other side of the brain.



The first phase slowly builds up activity in one area of the brain, and the second phase shunts it into another (focusing on brain parts known to support spiritual experiences), so that the 2nd area suddenly bursts into activity. The result is a spiritual response that would ordinarily be hard to achieve.

Each brain is different, and these differences mean the exact effects of each session aren’t the same for everyone. Spirituality means different things to different people. It’s not “one size fits all”. There are several sessions in the God Helmet software using various signals, and focusing on one side of the brain or the other, so you can find the one that works best for you. Free tech support and advice is available, too.



This animation shows how God Helmet sessions use two different signals to create its effects. In fact, all God Helmet sessions in the software use two signals, one after the other.

The signals circle around the brain’s temporal lobes.

Each cycle takes a fraction of a second. This animation shows only the most effective one, the one that created the most dramatic effects in Persinger’s lab, and as seen on several TV documentaries.

This is the most powerful mind technology in the Shakti family of Neural Technologies, and there are possible side effects for each session design, but only for people who have psychiatric problems, or who choose to use it unsafely. These are very uncommon, but are still described in the software on the pages for each, along with ways to stop them if they appear.

The God Helmet is a safe technology, but there are some safety guidelines, which you can see HERE.

Shiva God Helmet review comments and testimonials:

(Individual Results may vary*)

“I have a Shiva Neural Stimulation system and I’m very happy with it. After the first try (I used one of the God Helmet sessions) I was a little uncomfortable, but I also felt much happier and I felt a kind of flow (energy flow?) inside my body. This continued for a few days before its intensity started to fade. The next time I tried, I didn’t have the uncomfortable feeling, but one of happiness and I would say a different look at things and the world.

Over the next months I used several other sessions and found that their effects differed from one another. Some of them were more effective for me than others. The best feeling it gave me so far is the flow of happiness I mentioned before. It makes me more energetic, and I even started enjoying some tasks at work I had once hated. I also found that it improved communication with other people and made it also more enjoyable and productive. I’ve only gone through 20-30% of the sessions so far and I’m very excited about the many more positive surprises I’ll get from the system.” *

(Using a session called Modulated 40 hertz ‘chirp’ signal over both sides followed by amygdala over the left.)

I have the Shiva God Helmet and have used it about 6 times now. I was interested in it for the right hippocampus stimulation and left amygdala stimulation. I have been ‘vibrating’ while awake. Having more visions and ‘seeing’ peoples auras. My … (friend)… has used it and has now seen someone’s aura. People are starting to tell him very private things after only meeting him for a few minutes. … (I’m) still ‘playing’ with it. I’m keeping a journal of my experiences. So far I’m happy I got it.” *

“I was using (…) a ” god helmet” to see if it would boost my OBE experience, it did. I experienced total knowledge and connection to everything. I experienced a level of joy that cannot be explained with words. I was a globe of white light among an infinite number of other white lights. I floated as close as possible to get near the great light, it was massive, pervading everything except the space we were in.” * (source)

The Shiva God Helmet was used in filming an episode of the television program Paranormal Lockdown.

“… one of the highlights of the new season was the use of the God Helmet, originally called the Koren Helmet, which was created to study things like creativity and religious experience. Nick (who used the God Helmet) said their sessions with the helmet produced “incredible results”, adding: “It was truly an uplifting experience. It really helped me rise above the negativity of this extremely haunted location.”* (source)

“… this morning I did a God Helmet session. This was a pretty intense experience. Think binaural beats or perhaps CES at a delta or theta state, but much stronger. Very pleasant overall experience with lots of very strong and colorful hypnagogic flashes. There was a peacefulness about it. The experience felt very warm and very safe. It’s hard to describe. Now I am no stranger to altered states, so my perception of pleasant might be another’s “weird” or “just too intense”. I can see why people report a presence or in some cases a sense of God. I would describe that element of the experience more like the feeling one has on psychedelics, that feeling of oneness or interconnection. I would describe it that way.” * (source)

“I seem to get good visuals with the chirp signal on the right hemisphere. Using the first half of the original Koren helmet session, the chirp signal does not elicit ‘negative’ emotions in me, but rather strong imagery (for my standards) and intuitions. The amygdala signal on the left side elicits a strong feeling of well-being, affection and ‘connectedness’.” *

_____________

Myself and a handful of others have been using this device, called a “God Helmet”, for several months now and the subjective reporting tends to cluster and lines up with what you would expect. … Stimulate the hippocampus and you’ll get into a more “wordless” space that feels much like a deep meditation for me. Stimulate the amygdala and you’ll get an improved feeling of well-being. I’m not a brain scientist or a researcher, just exploring on my own, but based on what I’ve read, the effects fall in line with expectations. The device was developed by Dr. Persinger and has been used in a number of published experiments in peer reviewed journals. … So far my experience has been very positive and surprising in some respects. … * (source)

NOTE: The “Sensed Presence” experience, common with this technology in Dr. M.A. Persinger’s lab, is infrequent with the Shiva System in its God Helmet configuration. It may have to do with the rigorous laboratory conditions for the God Helmet Experiments, compared to the way people use it at home.
