Resonance Chamber
the LAUREN HAUNTS
EXPERIMENT
at the Madison SEMINARY
OPENING SEPTEMBER 21, 2024 at MadCon 7!
The Lauren Haunts Resonance Chamber at Madison Seminary marks the inaugural installation of what I hope will be many within haunted locations. With it being a completely free experience for haunt goers, every aspect of this creation—financing, construction, design, and installation—has been personally undertaken by me. If you would like to support the continuation of my research, please consider leaving a donation or tip, especially if the experience resonated with you. Your generosity is deeply appreciated. Thank you!
What is the Resonance Chamber Experiment?
The Resonance Chamber Experiment is a social and feedback-driven exploration into the intricate relationship between supernatural experiences and our physical and emotional states of mind.
​
Background and Theory Behind This Study
The inspiration for this project is deeply rooted in over 15 years of dedicated yogic study and practice, further enriched by my formal training in meditation and Yogic practices in Rishikesh, India. During this time, I immersed myself in the profound theories of spiritual wellness, which emphasize the interconnectedness of the mind, body, and spirit—not only within ourselves but also in relation to each other and the world that surrounds us.
One of the most fascinating aspects of my journey was the practice of repetitive Yogic Chanting or Mantra Chanting during meditation. I observed the profound effects it had, not just on the individual, but also on groups when practiced collectively over extended periods. Personally, these sessions often led to moments of profound clarity, deep relaxation, and a heightened sense of connectedness—both to myself and to the space I occupied.
This inspired me to explore how such practices could relate to the supernatural, focusing on theories that rely on observation-based data rather than attempting direct communication that assumes all or any paranormal encounters are sentient beings. My theory was further shaped by discussions within the paranormal community, where we often pondered the influence of emotional state, comfort, and concentration on personal, unexplained experiences.
​
My Hypothesis
Based on these observations, humans can forge a deeper connection with the world that surrounds us—whether those encounters are explainable, paranormal, or otherworldly—by entering a meditative state. This process activates the parasympathetic nervous system, enhancing our ability to focus, observe, become aware, and relax, thereby potentially heightening our sensitivity to the energies and phenomena around us.
What to expect?
​
The Chamber harnesses sound to evoke sensations that might foster a deeper connection with the supernatural. As paranormal experiences are inherently subjective, this is a preliminary step towards identifying variables that could help create a more controlled environment for personal encounters.
Some things you will encounter during your Chamber Experience:
• Posted instructions, recommendations, and steps to guide you through the entire session.
• Additional voice guidance and preparation once you’re inside the chamber.
• Mostly or complete darkness, though your personal flashlight is optional if needed.
• Sound stimulation, including rhythmic drumming and tones, to aid in reaching a meditative state.
• A request for feedback: Sharing your experience will contribute to our data set and assist in shaping the next phase of the experiment!
