Let’s dive right in for inspiring insights.
Our light-intelligent aura nourishes us.
European studies have shown that sunlight, a key component of color light therapy, can charge the core of our essence. Moreover, the skin (and aura) constantly absorbs, processes, and distributes the information contained in the light, which helps regulate our bodily functions.
Furthermore, we see this as our internal lighting system, which is vital to our overall wellbeing.
But have you ever wondered about the deeper aspects of using specific frequencies of visible light to support your sense of wellbeing?
Sunlight nourishes us through our skin. This remarkable organ protects us and serves as an exchange point’s information highway. It’s the largest organ in the body, with a unique ability that strives to maintain optimal functioning and energy levels, particularly during low-light seasons like winter.
But there’s so much more to light and its visible spectrum of hues.
Our skin serves as a protective shield against the environment.
It also acts as a two-way antenna between our inner and outer worlds.
Sunlight is the first step in creating this world.
We all know that when we don’t get enough sunlight, we may feel depressed, sad, withdrawn, or more susceptible to catching a cold or the flu. We’ve all heard of the winter blues, which means our light reserve runs low in the northern hemisphere.
By springtime, we’re ready to charge up in the sunshine and take in brilliant natural colors all around us.
For instance, while you might expect the energy of late spring and the summer sun to benefit our well-being, we still routinely avoid and substitute daylight with artificial illumination, even during these brighter months.
It’s fascinating to consider that our ancestors spent a significant portion of their waking hours outdoors just a few centuries ago, basking in the sunlight. Today, we often shield ourselves from its rays, opting for the comfort of indoor living and the glow of device screens.
We also apply sunscreen and shade ourselves as much as possible.
It’s OK to take off your hat once in a while.
Colors displayed in Nature benefit your practice.
The sun constantly enlightens the world in inspiring ways. Night and day, its radiance enables us to see and sense everything as we do. Sunlight gives us our color spectrum, ranging from red to violet.
These colors appear in numerous shades and hues, which are essential energy basic to life.
Color is a natural sensation that playfully enables our senses and affects our psychological and physical state. Studies have shown that light is vital to a healthy metabolism in all creatures.
The more we study color, the more we understand its true beauty and power as its frequency, vibration, and wavelength deliver the information we need for nutrition and survival.
Light for healing is not a new notion. It has evolved throughout history, from the ancient Egyptians using light and prisms to heal people to ancient Greece, where heliotherapy, or curing sickness by sun exposure, was born.
Color and light continue to help the healing process in many ways.
Our furry and feathered friends love sessions, too.
These ancient practices are part of modern chromotherapy and light therapy, showing that these healing methods remain valuable and relevant.

Color light tools help strengthen intuition.
When used in a massage or bodywork session, acupressure or tapping techniques such as EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) or Energy Medicine and Shamanism, for example, can significantly affect the recipient by sending call-to-action messages throughout the body’s networking system.
While reflex zones activate the meridian paths and organ-related associations, color light can be introduced as an overlay in the aura’s field afterward to support the session’s overall goal.
Note: It’s important to remember that there may be serious underlying causes of a person’s pain; their pain may only be a signal of, and not necessarily a source of, trauma, which, of course, should be ruled out first by their medical team.
