The effects of mindfulness meditation tend to be dose-related — the more you do, the more effect it usually has. Scientific evidence is now supporting that mindfulness is a key element in stress reduction and overall happiness, it also improves your focus and ability to concentrate. So what is mindfulness? It’s the practice of purposely focusing your attention on the present moment and accepting it as is without judgment.

Most religions include some type of prayer or meditation technique that help shift your thoughts away from your usual preoccupations toward an appreciation of the moment and a larger perspective on life. Mindfulness can be self-directed or guided and has become increasingly common for mindfulness meditation to be combined with psychotherapy, especially cognitive behavioral therapy. Mindfulness meditation combined with cognitive behavioural therapies works by sharing a common goal of helping people to gain perspective on irrational, maladaptive, and self-defeating thoughts.

The gamma frequency band is roughly defined as being between 30 Hz-100 Hz, with the 40 Hz point being of particular significance. New research suggests that exposure to a light flickering at 40Hz may promote gamma brain wave activity through the photic entrainment phenomenon. These waves have the potential to activate critical cleaning cells in the brain that could eliminate beta amyloid plaques.

Unlike ultraviolet light – which has damaging effects upon the tissues and cells of the body – infrared light helps cells regenerate or repair themselves. Infrared light also improves the circulation of oxygen-rich blood in the body, promoting faster healing of deep tissues and relieving pain.

Infrared therapy has many roles in the human body. These include detoxification, pain relief, reduction of muscle tension, relaxation, improved circulation, weight loss, skin purification, lowered side effects of diabetes, boosting of the immune system and lowering of blood pressure.

Additionally, several recent trials have demonstrated anti-depressive an anti-anxiety effects of light therapy in mammal models.

This type of therapy is also known as PHOTOBIOMODULATION or (PBM) for short.

Transcranial and intranasal PBM has been introduced as a light-based therapeutic technique in which exposure to low levels of red to near-infrared (NIR) light stimulates neuronal function, leading to beneficial neurological effects. Healthwise is trialling the interest of these PBM therapies in our community, and if successful, may consider bringing intranasal PBM soon.
