Episode 9: Diving Into the Lights | The Essentials of Light Therapy

Into The Light with Crazy Cait

On this episode of Into The Light with Crazy Cait, I welcome back my business partner, Edna Ness, to discuss light therapy, what is it, how it works, who would benefit from it and the history of where it originated from.

I have always been a sun-worshiper at heart, how it helps the planet and gives us humans the energy to thrive. And in a world where natural therapies of all kinds are definitely on the rise, light therapy is freaking essential. Never would I have imagined that therapeutic sunshine is how I would help impact humanity for the better.

But here I am, so let's freakin' send it!

Notes to help you Tap Into Your Inner Healer:

• Just like the sun helped to create life on this planet, it was light that brought Edna and I together as business partners as well.
• You might think that Light Therapy is kind of woo woo, but the power of light to heal has been around for thousands of years.
• Light increases circulation, decreases pain and inflammation, and promotes energy at the cellular level.
• Light photons are required by every single cellular activity, and provides your body energy to function.
• You should question if any of your health conditions might be connected to a lack of light in your system.
• Lack of natural light combined with overexposure to artificial light can cause a wide variety of health problems.
• Light is the best way to help your nervous system relax, get you into a parasympathetic state, and out of fight or flight mode.

Feed Your Wellness Challenge:

1. Get more light. Here are a few ideas to help you:

• • Get outside and enjoy more sunshine
  • Explore options for therapeutic light.
  • It's easy to get stuck in our routines of being indoors, but we need to let the light shine on our bodies. Allow the sun to be absorbed through your skin, take off your sunglasses so you can take it in through your eyes.
  • Open your windows to allow natural light to come in and even light candles in the evening.

  • Reduce artificial light exposure, including screen time, and especially at night.
