Light in Feng Shui
Feng Shui is all about energy, and light is the strongest manifestation of it. Your body reacts to everything around you, and you either get nourished or drained by the energy that surrounds you.
Light is our # 1 nutrient and has been called the medicine of the future. How much light do you actually get, what colours are you surrounding yourself with (we know from physics that color is light) how many indoor light sources do you have in your space?
As we go through a change of season and tend to spend more time indoors, this is the best time to answer these questions.
From the moment we open our eyes till the time we go to sleep we continuously experience light. We breathe deeper when looking at the clear blue sky, we stop at red lights and proceed at green, we inquire if our friend is OK when there is no "light in her eyes." We look for light, we want to feel light, we cook light, we've heard people go into the light when they die... What is light, anyway?
Solar light is considered # 1 nutrient for the human body.
Light is measured in lux and here is some food for thought: while outdoors, our bodies receive about 100,000 lux versus only 600 lux in an indoor environment.
Sounds like your body is literally starving if you haven't been spending much quality time out in nature!
When in a frenzy of what to buy for your loved ones, give them (and yourself!) the gift of light - invest in full-spectrum lighting for the sake of your health. Look for a full spectrum supplier in your area, or order some on-line. When it comes to best gifts , nothing comes close to the gift of vibrant health!
