Lights Quotes

“Everybody has a little bit of the sun and moon in them. Everybody has a little bit of man, woman, and animal in them. Darks and lights in them. Everyone is part of a connected cosmic system. Part earth and sea, wind and fire, with some salt and dust swimming in them. We have a universe within ourselves that mimics the universe outside. None of us are just black or white, or never wrong and always right. No one. No one exists without polarities. Everybody has good and bad forces working with them, against them, and within them.

At its simplest, try using a string of very warm white, or orange, LEDS in the evening when you are relaxing before bedtime.
In overhead or side lights, use circadian light bulbs, which can be set to different colors of light, controlled by a dimmer switch.
Use color-changing LED light strips or bulbs with their own color remote controller.
Consider buying color-changing lighting products, such as stand-alone table or floor lamps.
Use a wake-up light alarm clock to wake you gently with color-changing lights in the morning, and relax you with soft lighting in warm tones at bedtime.”
