Light & Color Benefits to Wellness


Light and Color are some of nature's best healing remedies, yet we seldom seem to really take advantage of their power and healing benefits! Full spectrum light is rich with healing energies and the application of color through gels, lights, lenses, water, fabric, etc., is the means of directing color energy into the body. The optic nerve converts light ad its components, color, into electricity, which then traverses the meridians and nervous systems to direct bodily functions. Color therefore applied, causes cellular and hormonal changes to occur. There are many other phenomena that include

*the rate of growth of cells and tissues
*their rate of cell division
*the physical development of the individual
*he mass body potential
*the development of the biotype, modifying the hereditary tendency
*the functioning power of the pituitary gland
*the reproductive rate of any species
*the dynamic tension between the two divisions of the autonomic nervous system
*the secretion of hormones by all of the co-acting as well as antagonistic endocrine glands, with the pituitary as the 'master gland"
*the restoration of health following departures from the normal
*the degree of nerve cell irritability (thus modifying reflexes)
*the state of tension in the autonomic nervous system
*the perception of pain
*the relative responses of both striped and smooth muscle and bodily health
