“We are still on the threshold of fully understanding the complex relationship between light and life, but we can now say, emphatically, that the function of our entire metabolism is dependent on light.”

Fritz-Albert Popp

Light (electromagnetic energy) is so much more intrinsic to our nature than we can realize through our physical senses. In fact, light makes up and defines our very physical existence. It coordinates communication between aspects of your physical body, between the physical body and the mental and spiritual bodies and even provides the backbone for existence. It is the manifestation of consciousness and it is one of the best ways to engage and alter our consciousness.

On a simple level, we can use light therapy to balance our biology, improve energy production and DNA expression/protein synthesis in our cells, as well as resync our circadian clocks based on our evolution under the sun. Low level light therapy (LLLT) with red and infra-red light and broad spectrum bright light therapy are examples of this and can play a valuable role in promoting wellbeing.

After battling insomnia for more than 15 years, LLLT in concert with colorpuncture completely changed my life by enabling me to finally get consistent sleep. But we can go deeper.

Light as Information

Every aspect of life is shaped by energy fields, carrying information beginning at levels far more subtle than the mechanistic interactions we prominently study in biology.

Every action, every word, even every thought carries with it ripples of energy that influence all aspects of our existence.

Visible light is the most relevant because it engulfs our sensory world for most people and plays a dominant role within our consciousness because of how it can be visualized.

“If our receptivity to the color spectrum is limited, the amount of light and life we are able to receive will also be limited.” – Jacob Israel Liberman, OD, Ph.D.

It is the first step of our journey to remove the lenses and filters we’ve developed as a means of protection and survival so that we can start to see these ripples purely and understand our energy exchange with the universe.

Light is a mirror for all energy exchange in your life

Everything you see is looking for you. If something is uncomfortable, that is a message from your higher intelligence (communication modulated by light), that you need to shift your perspective or what you are doing in your life.

There’s a trite saying that the universe is always giving you signs if you’re looking, but this is not quite accurate. In reality, your higher intelligence is always sending you signals based on your present energetic output into the world.

Light therapy and related spiritual-energetic practices can amplify these signals by regulating the information carried in your energy fields and throughout your physical body. It can also help you to learn how to translate these signals more effectively to achieve the outcomes you desire in your life and help you live more aligned with your soul.

We can leverage specific applications of different frequencies of light to dig into specific programs and conflicts within ourselves to systematically heal our mind, body and spirit.

You have the power, even with thought alone, to harness your light to connect to higher aspects of yourself and promote healing. Or you can deny this power and let your shadow overwhelm you.

Even before my insomnia became a persistent challenge in my life, I dealt with mental illness, including intense depression for nearly two decades. Color light therapy has the ability beyond any other therapy I’ve ever encountered to cleanse negative thought patterns and help me realize the actions and attitudes required for me to thrive.

I’m excited to share with you the techniques and tools that have completely transformed my life. I’ve developed an affordable color therapy toolkit for you to get started!
