Yet only recently have we begun to understand how different parts of the light spectrum, from infrared to ultraviolet, can affect our physical and psychological well-being. Covering the historic, scientific, and spiritual aspects of light and its role in energy medicine, Anadi Martel explores the vibrational nature of light and the interaction between light, biology, and consciousness. He demonstrates light's incredible effects on the physical, energetic, and cognitive dimensions of life and examines several forms of light therapy, including chromotherapy (color therapy), heliotherapy (sun therapy), actinotherapy (ultraviolet therapy), and thermotherapy (infrared therapy). He details how to use light therapy daily, get optimal benefits from sunlight, and avoid the health risks of new artificial lighting such as compact fluorescents and LEDs. Combining his own 30 years of research with practical insight from the many phototherapy pioneers he's encountered, the author examines scientific studies on how specific wavelengths of light influence our cells and DNA, brain function, sleep patterns, and emotional stability; speed the healing of wounds; and are effective in the treatment of disease, including arthritis, stroke, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and brain and nerve injuries. Exploring the spiritual aspects of light, the author explains why auras and halos have been used to represent sages and saints of all traditions, revealing the intimate link between light and consciousness. Investigating the many laser, monochrome, audiovisual, and infrared machines designed to heal disease and treat emotional disorders, Martel also reveals promising medical applications for light that are currently in development, inviting the reader not only to appreciate the complexities of light but to maximize its therapeutic dimensions"---Provided by publisher. 546 $a Translated from the French. 650 0 $a Phototherapy 650 0 $a Light 650 0 $a Energy medicine. 650 0 $a Alternative medicine 650 12 $a Phototherapy 650 22 $a Light 650 7 $a Energy medicine. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01742758 650 7 $a Alternative medicine $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00806153 650 7 $a Light $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00998476 650 7 $a Phototherapy $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01062139 776 08 $i Online version: $a Martel, Anadi. $t Light therapies. $b First U.S. edition. $d Rochester, Vermont : Healing Arts Press, 2018 $z 9781620557303 $w (DLC) 2017038989 941 $a 1 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20200829015017.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=31EFBB1CE9BD11EAA33BF2242FECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b IX2Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
