These entoptic effects are described to be divine forms or introductions to the practice itself. The notion of them being divine seems more a common way to view natural appearances instead of a religious statement. It is important to note that this is not a scientific explanation for the more complex visions that may arise. These entoptic effects are explained to not be distracted by them.

In the larger Tibetan cultural area, it is the most elevated part of the human body—the skull or, its extension in the form of a turban-like headdress—that allows the religious practitioner to gain access to the source of vitality located in the heavens.

He elaborates on that by explaining that the sky is perfect for this kind of release because of the spacious character of the sky. While our dualistic minds are concentrated on forms, the sky is an invitation to a state of formlessness. It is also a metaphor for timelessness. While the sky may have a

practice creates a sort of sensory deprivation that allows the meditating yogis to observe how their minds function on the most fundamental level. Indeed, although the tradition claims that the practice offers a way of seeing reality as it is—a phenomonen described as "naked vision"

The first things a practitioner will encounter are simple patterns of luminous dots. There are a few scientific reasons why one might start to observe patterns when sky gazing. When someone is looking at a uniform image for a longer time, the brain can start to create
