It is impossible to overstate the importance of visible and invisible light in the physical world.

Sunlight is the engine of photosynthesis

It’s the almost miraculous process through which plants grow. Reaching for the sun, drawn by the light, and warmth, the vegetal kingdom blooms in nature’s cycles. Feeding, cleansing, producing oxygen, capturing carbon, and holding inestimable beauty. Clearly nature dances in the light.

Vitamin D – the master regulator

In our bodies, sunlight triggers hormone activity in the creation of Vitamin D, the master regulator. Sleep patterns, mood balance, sulfur metabolism: each is key to living in a calm personal biosphere.

We begin to wither without the sun

Seasonal progressions follow the angle of the rays changing the color frequency as we move through the year. Think of the early springtime translucent leaves moving in a soft breeze. Or a darkened woodland of shadows, mysterious, and cool in the summer.

Humans are natural decorators

We create patterns and wavelengths when we surround ourselves with color, in objects and form. A feast for the eyes and spirit! Our own natural color spectrum emerges when we let our environments evolve.

Color is frequency

[Actually, everything is frequency.] When we choose colors, we are choosing vibrational patterning that marries our energy field. Our vibration sets a tonal cascade (think music) throughout our environment, both inner and outer. We send a broadcast out into the local and extra-local universe. This is why choosing harmonious color pallets is core design work.

Matter is ‘just’ held light

Light illuminates and activates the material world. It contains transmitted information traveling locally from the sun and extra-locally from distant astronomical zones. Stars, galaxies, nebula. Patterns in the energy flow carry information and intelligence. The waveforms of light are the carrier waves for the patterns of growth. The signaling creates cellular evolution. The DNA of all life literally “dances” in the sunlight.

Light moves at the limit of consciousness

The laws of physics which govern our 3D world expand and adapt to the higher vibrational opportunity present at the speed of light. To me, what seems to be static and hard is actually fluid, morphic, and ultimately indeterminate.

Applying light in our personal environments

We create zones of illumination for the purpose of controlling the speed of change. Stimulating, fully illuminated zones are suited to learning and creative expression. Dimly lit spaces for warmth, comfort, and rest.

Consider this: When structures are allowed to be empty, unused, or abandoned, or if left uncleared of trauma, the lower vibrations of these conditions mingle with and mute the dancing light.

Invite the light into your home!

An older home left untended and derelict can be renewed. The process of “inviting the light” usually begins with a physical clearing.

  • Get into all of the corners and closets, cellars and attics, crawl spaces. Remove any physical and psychic debris. The unwanted material of present and past residents holds decay and infestation.
  • After and during this process, open the doors and windows, play music, burn incense to literally wake up the structure.
  • Bring in temporary lighting, turn on existing lights, run the water, turn up the heat.
  • Set the life force in motion.

Psychic cleansing

Some buildings contain remnants or vestiges of past tenants. Ask them to leave. Usually when we begin to pound on walls and make structural changes these “ghosts” move along.

Clean or replace old windows, strip old wallpaper, tear up non-renewable flooring. These materials do not allow lighter frequencies to manifest. Remember: matter is just held light.

Make NEW!

At some point during a renovation (“make new”) all or most of the tired matter has been removed. Then we move forward – toward a renewed physical space. If you are sensitive to it (as I am), you can feel the molecular excitation and emotional excitement becoming manifest.

Nature abhors a vacuum

When we create the intention for new energy to arrive, the universe fills the once-dark spaces with light, fresh air, prana.

Shape, Form, Light

The potential of creating a healing and energizing habitat increases when we suffuse matter with light.

Following some basic rules of proportion and resonance invites the light in. Orientation and window location are extraordinarily important. The building’s orientation to the daily passage of the sun aligns our physical environment with powerful patterning.

Remember, we are spiritual beings having material lives

So, avoid fighting nature’s natural balancing system.

Environmental crisis. Our civilization continues to rape and pillage natural resources without regard to any limit!

The least we can do is bring in the light to our bodies and homes. By doing so, we create powerful, vibrational broadcasts out into space and time.

We become held light. We share held light. We create a brighter world for the highest benefit of all.
