  Are you curious about how light therapy can increase your health and wellbeing? Have you ever heard of harmonic light therapy and wondered what the heck it was all about or wondered if it really works? I’d love to share some of the things I have learned and also share some of my personal experience with it. Let’s start with the basics of what it is. I like science and want to step right into that first. Photobiomodulation is a freaking big word, right? Let’s talk about what it means so that anyone can understand it and really grasp it. Photobiomodulation (PBM) is the word used to describe the mechanistic/scientific basis for this photonic specialty and photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) as the term for its therapeutic application. Let’s break this down further. What does the word PHOTONIC mean? That means “the physical science of light waves.” Harmonic light therapy typically involves the use of LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) that emit specific colors of light, such as red, blue, green, and yellow. Each color is believed to have unique effects on the body, influencing factors like mood, energy levels, and physiological processes. I use light therapy on a consistent basis. I want to cover some of the personal and professional ways I use it for myself. I love using light therapy along with my foot zones. I have been a certified, professional foot zone practitioner since 2013. I got my light therapy set in 2021 and noticed right away the differences when I do a session for a client with the lights and when I don’t. When I do use the light, things shift easier, feel smoother and the client is able to achieve greater levels of relaxation. When I don’t use the lights, they are not able to receive as much healing - IMHO. It’s like it increases the effectiveness by 200% in the same amount of time. Light therapy has been a game changer. I am also comfortable with charging more than I used to because they are getting at least 3 full therapy light sessions. My new rule for my clients since getting the lights is that drooling is allowed! 🙂 It seems funny but I decided to make light of something that started noticing once I got the lights. (pun intended) So many people come into my Energy Healing and Foot Zoning office and share with me that their intention is to relax, unwind and let go. Once I got the Lumiceutical light therapy system, that intention was achieved so much quicker and definitely easier. I already did quite a bit of extras to achieve that. For example, the ambience of my energy healing office that I foot zone out of is relaxing overall in its vibe. The meditative spa music in the background, the lowered ambience of the lights, the quiet spa voices, the sound of the water fountain, the massaging chair that also reclines, the mineral foot soak that I also start all of my foot zones with, the energy healing tools I use, the healing crystals, the boho decor, all of it… Light therapy allows us to achieve even deeper relaxation. As people allowed themselves the opportunity to take the time, the space and the freedom to set the intention to relax - YES, that made a difference but the lights helped them to achieve that. In addition to the red light therapy, we also have green light therapy, blue light therapy and yellow light therapy. Different colors of light are thought to interact with the body in various ways. For example:
So I do recommend adding red light therapy into sessions if you are a professional foot zoning practitioner, massage therapist, reiki healing practitioner or if you do another modality where your clients are looking for a similar outcome. It pairs so well! The benefits for my foot zone clients have been huge. I also asked another healing professional how she utilizes the lights in her practice and this is what she had to say. Her name is Jayna Grover Moser. "I love sharing the lights in my massage therapy practice with my clients during their massages & targeting specific areas that need extra attention & also supporting those areas connected to the main area of concern. My clients love how the lights are warming & relaxing & help physically, mentally & energetically to help them in their healing journeys. I also use them daily myself to help me recover physically & energetically from giving massages!" But now let’s switch gears here for a minute. A friend of mine, Torrie Miller had ongoing pain from a broken foot. She shares her personal story with the lights and how much they helped her in this video here. I want to also cover how I personally have benefited.   Here are the top 5 personal benefits I have enjoyed the most in my household. 1. Pain Relief 2. Healing Injuries 3. Relaxation for myself, my family & pets 4. To “clear or set a space” energetically 5. Abundance & creativity settings According to their website, LumiCeuticals safely and comfortably delivers light wavelengths throughout the body. The red light therapy / infrared pads are medically approved and FDA OTC cleared to increase circulation and relieve pain associated with:
These are some of the personal examples from my personal household:
A gal I met online was sharing her personal experience with me. Here's the overall story from her own words: “ I attribute Lumiceuticals Harmonic Lights for my complete healing from an accident January 8th, 2023 where I sustained 8 fractures and spent 17 days in the hospital. I had to learn to walk again and use my right arm again. I had a light session everyday starting in the hospital. That was one year ago and this week I was able to walk two miles with no pain. I continue to heal my bones and of course my belief in myself. I am blessed. “
Light therapy can be used for animals as well. I have had the light therapy chakra wand for years and have also used that on my FoxTrotter horse named Diamond. For those who have animals at home or the office that you treat, it would be a great idea to consider. A friend of mine, Alysia Humphries from Idaho that I have known for about a decade shared a recent story about her dog. I’ll share it here: “My dog came in with a limp and just was laying around whimpering today. I couldn’t see any injuries but he was clearly hurting. So I put this white sheet on the ground and laid it over him so I could put lights on him without getting dog hair on my lights. He usually only stays put for a few minutes, but he snuggled right in with them and seemed to relax for almost 15 minutes, he barely budged except to put his paws on the lights on his front legs. He was moving better after his light session and seemed happier. Every living thing benefits from light therapy!”   And here is Jayna's cat too!! :) Huge shout out to the amazing Marta DeBerard from Lumiceutical Light Therapy. She has attended most of our Energy Healing Conferences for the past 10 years supporting many types of energy healers and supporting others in their own healing journeys. You can visit her directly on her website and learn even more science here. Here are some incredible resources to continue your own personal learning about the science of light therapy. This is a great place to find out more for free about the science, tips on how to use it for yourself, where to get it and of course more success stories from real life applications. There's a wonderful community here. I feel very grateful for the ongoing support and education they offer to people. Another great thing Marta does that is very generous for the community is she offers complimentary full 20 minute light therapy sessions to our attendees at the Energy Healing Conferences. You can also follow them and check this out here.  Light: Medicine of the Future: How We Can Use It to Heal Ourselves NOW by Dr. Jacob Liberman, OD, PHD He’s considered a light therapy pioneer and even though this book was written over 20 years ago, it’s got some fascinating information. https://a.co/d/bP9LYUy The International Light Association has some fantastic educational videos as well.
