The Eye Gaze

Pineal Gland Activation

Breaking the "Dopamine Stare"

Whether it's a porn urge or "ADHD paralysis," your brain locks into a sympathetic tunnel vision, hijacked by a dopamine spike. You feel unable to look away.

By strictly locking your gaze upward (20 degrees) during the Halto breath, you physically force your brain out of this consumption trance and into an Alpha wave state. It breaks the loop instantly.

KEY STUDY

"Ocular position and its effect on EEG Alpha rhythm amplitude"

Journal of Neurophysiology, 2018

Brain Wave Changes

Beta Waves (Stressed)13-30 Hz

Aroused state, tunnel vision, poor impulse control

Alpha Waves (Relaxed)8-12 Hz

Calm focus, enhanced prefrontal control, reduced urgency

Neuro-Haptic Feedback

Sensory Replacement Therapy

1️⃣

Conscious Connection

The pelvic floor is the "stress container" of the body. Most men hold unconscious tension here. Connecting to it is the first step in releasing urge energy.

2️⃣

Sensory Anchor

Halto uses the Taptic Engine to provide a "Sensory Anchor". It gives your brain a safe, high-intensity physical signal to latch onto, overriding the "phantom itch" of the dopamine craving.

3️⃣

Rewiring the Loop

By pairing the physical sensation of the breath hold with the haptic vibration, you rewrite the neural trigger: Urge → Panic becomes Urge → Breath → Calm.

The 4-Step Breathing Cycle

Ancient Qigong breathwork adapted for modern neuroscience. Each step serves a specific physiological purpose.

1
INHALE & LIFT
8 seconds

Deep breath through nose. Eyes look up. Tongue presses to roof of mouth. Activates sympathetic nervous system, preparing energy for transformation.

Oxygen saturationSympathetic activationEnergy preparation
2
SEAL & LOCK
6 seconds

Hold breath. Maintain tongue pressure. Tighten pelvic floor (Mula Bandha). Stimulates vagus nerve, creating neural pathway lock.

3
COMPRESS
6 seconds

Purse lips tightly. Keep all locks engaged. Increases intracranial pressure, forcing oxygenated blood to prefrontal cortex.

4
HOLD & RESET
10 seconds

Final breath hold with all locks. Release slowly through nose. Triggers parasympathetic response, interrupts dopamine loop.

⚠️ Safety Information

Safe for Most Users

The breathing techniques and haptic feedback in Halto are safe for the vast majority of healthy adults. Thousands of users practice daily without adverse effects.

Consult a Doctor If:

  • • You have cardiovascular conditions
  • • You experience chronic dizziness
  • • You have respiratory disorders
  • • You're recovering from pelvic surgery
