Lighting Power Downs
1. Shut all overhead lights off after sundown.
🌅 This acts as a neural imprint for your body to activate it's hormonal activity to help you wind down
2. Change all LED bulbs for soft light amber or red
💡 Harsh lighting prevents your body from creating melatonin and produces coritsol as the frequency is similar to the wavelength of the sun at noon, making your body produce hormones to be active.
3. Use Himalayan sea salt lamps to light your spaces.
🪨 The negative ions these lamps produce give a balanced effort to reduce the radiation you have experienced through out the day.
4. Light your favorite candles to set a softer frequency.
🕯️ Fire of any size activates your parasympathetic from the internal engrained safety of fire.
🙏 Set prayers as you light the candles, giving gratitude for the experiences of your day.
✨ Set intentions for the flames to transmute any remaining worries left lingering from your day.
