Sights can be healing in a variety of ways.

• What sights bring you joy? How does that feel inside your body?
• What sights move you? How does that feel inside your body?
• How much time do you spend connected to and surrounded by those sights?
• How can you include this visual beauty more through moment-to-moment and day-to-day living?

Colors

Color is light of varying wavelengths and frequencies, with energy affecting moods and emotions. Every color has distinct energy with different attributes, qualities, and other properties that support healing.

Color therapy strives to create balance in people. Ancient cultures, including those in Egypt, China, and India, used color therapy for healing.

Color therapists are trained to identify what colors are best suited for each individual. People can also tune into supportive colors. Color preferences evolve based on many factors.

Clothes, paints on walls, art, candles, gemstones, foods, and glasses are some of the ways to apply color therapy.

• What colors bring you calm and comfort?
• What emotions do you feel looking at specific colors?
• How are the colors you like an expression of who you are?
• What colors of clothes do you like best?
• Are you inspired to incorporate new colors into your healing environment?

Light

Whether light comes from the sun, through solar panels, light bulbs, or another source, light is a part of daily life. Research suggests that light has health benefits, including regulating hormones, vitamin levels, moods, wound healing, sleep disorders, skin disorders, cellular function, immune support, and more.

Everyone needs contact with light both directly and indirectly. Natural and artificial light has been prescribed since ancient Greece for healing purposes. Hospitals have been built with solariums, or sunrooms, for patients to recuperate in the sunlight. Since excessive amounts of sunlight can cause harm, moderation is key.

• When is the last time you relaxed in the sun for 10 minutes?
• What do you feel when the sun’s rays touch your skin and interact with your body?
• What other forms of light feel nourishing to you?
• What do you feel in the light?

Art

Whether creating or viewing art, the experience may have therapeutic benefits. Surrounding yourself with art that brings you joy and reflects who you are supports attunement. As an example, you can capture some art here.

Some forms of art therapy and creative expression include drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, movement, drama, writing, singing, improvisation, and storytelling.

• What artists inspire you? Do you have copies of their work?
• Do you enjoy creating art?
• What do you feel about your experience with art?
• What types of art help do you express yourself?
• Do you capture the transformation from art pieces?

Nature

Nature is calming, balancing, and restorative. Gardens, yards, parks, and nature images in photos and videos, as well as plants, flowers, trees, other greenery, rocks, and additional elements from the Earth inside and outside your home, emit the healthy and healing pulse of Mother Earth. Studies show that nature reduces stress and promotes relaxation, decreases mental fatigue, restores mental clarity, increases a sense of well-being, supports recovery from surgery, improves performance, and attention.

• What do you like most in and from nature?
• What places in nature bring you deep calm?
