Give the Gift of Light

By , About.com Guide   December 8, 2006

Follow me on:

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, and the pioneering work of Dr.John Ott for Disney proved its paramount importance to our health and well-being.

Light is measured in lux and here is some feng shui 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!
This Christmas, 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 feng shui gifts for Christmas, nothing comes close to the gift of vibrant health!
