Turn On The Lights

To lighten your spirits, experiment with lightening a room in your home differently: a living room filled with candlelight, a bedroom with a hundred tiny white light chains, a colour light in the bathroom.


I also been wondering whether or not it isn’t smart to buy some extra lamps and take them out and distribute them in the living room and bedrooms during the winter months. We don’t have air conditioning in Germany (neither at work or in homes) and so it is very common for people to by fans, which they bring up from the basement storage area during hot weather. Why shouldn’t we bring up “winter lighting” as we do the Christmas lights? The lamps could take the place of the bouquet of summer flowers.

There was a Red Room in the fitness studio I used to belong to. This was a small room with a wooden bench to lie on surrounded by several infrared lamps. The infrared lights are used for relaxation, boost-your-immune-system, and anti-stress therapeutical purposes. Has anyone of you used or heard of this new trend? Does it make any sense to you? Infrared lamps are used here a lot by the medical profession to help patients with chronic sinus problems.
