Product Description
Light levels profoundly affect the human brain's ability to function. Research demonstrates that light plays a critical role in physical and emotional well-being. Here, the full spectrum of light's influence is revealed, including light how and why the human body reacts differently to natural and artificial light, and how to use light at home, at work and during times of relaxation.

This wonderful little book is one of a series. They are written by different authors and each one is a different element subject.
They each are easy to read but a treasure trove of information that you will refer to again and again. The chapters are; the glory of light, sacred light, light cycles and life cycles, the nature of light, the power of sunlight and healing with light.
The bibliography is extensive and there is a references and resources chapter also. In the chapter of light cycles and life cycles it explains the effect the cycles of the moon have on the earth and human bodies;
The moon is full when it is on the side of the Earth farther from the Sun. At that time the Moon comes closest to Earth, drawn inwards by the Earth's gravitational force. In turn, the Moon exerts an influence on the ionosphere, pushing the delicate mantle slightly out of its encircling hand around the Earth's atmosphere, and towards the Earth's surface. The ionosphere, as its name implies, is a layer of charged air and particles that envelops the Earth 120 km or so up. the underside of the ionosphere is positively charged. the ionosphere's positive ions mix with those ions near the negatively charged Earth's surface. The mix of the two is thereby altered, becoming more positive. We breathe in the changed mixture, which enters our bloodstream. This physical change now has a physiological effect. Our blood cells are normally negatively charged, as are the walls of our arteries and veins, ensuring an easy flow as the similar charges repel each other. But when the mix turns more positive as a result of the Moon, the blood becomes "stickier", leading to poorer oxygenation and a resulting increase in psychological stress. At the time , the white blood cells, which are highly sensitive to electric charges, are also adversely affected. These positive ions also cause an overproduction of serotonin, a stress neuro-hormone and the opposing sister-molecule to melatonin, inhibiting one's ability to sleep. At the time of the new Moon, when the Moon is nearest the Sun, the ionosphere expands, lowering the number of positive ions at the Earth's surface. This encourages plant growth and improves circulation and vigor in animals.
These books are great.

This is a beautifully illustrated and highly informative book.
The discovery of biophotons - the production and emission of light by biological systems - first by the Russian embryologist Alexander Gurwitsch in 1920, and more recently the work of Fritz-Albert Popp, have given more credence to the importance of light to the organism. Not just in terms of promoting photosynthesis or the Vitamin D cascade in the body, but perhaps as a fundemental organizing force. Unfortunately some of the fundamental science has been highjacked by some folk who believe that biophotons are another name for Qi or prana. Something that the scientists have never said.
Yet biophotons do seem to be a real phenomenon and some empirical work indicates that they are biologically important and provide a theoretical basis for much of the material presented in this book, which covers the whole spectrum of light and its healing effects.
It begins with a consideration of sacred light and moves to a discussion of light and life cycles, the whole science of light, the power of sunlight and finally various techniques for healing with light. There is little research evidence to back up the healing claims, but a great deal of experience garnered by practitioners.
Having watched the development of the field over the last couple of decades, and having tried some of the light-based therapies, I think it likely that light will soon become an important part of our therapeutic toolbox.
This is a handsome and thought-provoking book that will appeal to a many people, and certainly not just therapists.

This inspiring work explores both the physical and metaphysical properties of light and how to use light to improve one's emotional, physical and spiritual well-being.Part One: The Glory Of Light, investigates sacred and spiritual light, the light of salvation, light in mythology and symbols of light. Part Two looks at light and life cycles, the daily rhythms of light, biorhythms, the pineal gland and the hormone melatonin. Part Three: The Nature Of Light, deals with waves and particles, electrons, electromagnetism and rainbows, whilst Part Four: Healing With Light, explores syntotics, bioresonance, auras and light therapy, the power of infrared and photodynamic therapies. Beautiful color photographs and illustrations enhance the text and the book concludes with a bibliography and a list of resources.
