Colours- part 2

Light Therapy: therapeutic exposure to full-spectrum artificial light that simulates sunlight

I had heard, long before Vaike Ruus' class, that light and colour had a tremendous impact on those who suffered from seasonal depression, however I didn't fully understand the psychology behind it until just recently. Our mind and body both thrive on the Sun's light, which by the way we take for granted all too much. Through its rising and setting our body clocks function, even when this sequence is off by a little bit, as after a flight, we suffer (jet lag in this case). After this class it became apparent to me that we had in many ways forgotten what our ancestors had already known, that light and colour have a deeper purpose, beyond all that we can only see.
