Man

 He rises in the morning,

Puts the mask back on,

and walks into the world—

carrying a loneliness

so practiced

it no longer feels like pain,

just a shape

he was born to fill.

Imediate relaxation (wonder why a camp fire relaxes you)

 Light can have a powerful effect on your mind and body — it can calm your nervous system, shift your mood, and even guide your brain into relaxation states. Here are a few practical ways to use light to relax and gently stimulate your mind:

---

🌅 1. Use Warm, Dim Light in the Evenings

• Why it works: Soft amber or red hues mimic sunset and help your brain release melatonin, the sleep hormone.

• How to do it:

  • Use smart bulbs or salt lamps and set them to warm tones (2000–3000K).

  • Turn off overhead lights and use smaller lamps or candles.

  • Avoid blue light (phones, computers, LEDs) 1 hour before bed — or use “night mode.”

---

🌞 2. Morning Light for Mental Energy

• Why it works: Natural sunlight early in the day resets your circadian rhythm and boosts serotonin (the feel-good chemical).

• How to do it:

  • Step outside within 30 minutes of waking — even for 5–10 minutes.

  • If you can’t get sunlight, use a light therapy lamp (10,000 lux white light) for 10–15 minutes.

🌈 3. Colored Light Meditation

• Why it works: Different light colors affect your mood and focus through subconscious associations.

• Try this:

  • Blue or green light: calming, good for stress or anxiety.

  • Purple or violet: meditative, introspective.

  • Soft orange or pink: comforting, emotionally warm.

  • Dim the room, put on a gentle soundscape (like ambient or nature sounds), and breathe slowly while gazing softly at the light.

💡 4. Light Rhythm Breathing

You can sync your breathing with changing light:

• Use an app or lamp that brightens as you inhale and dims as you exhale.

• It naturally trains your mind into a parasympathetic (calm) state.

• Even a candle works — just watch the flame rise and flicker as you breathe.

🪞 5. Mind Reflection Exercise

Sit in a softly lit space and reflect light gently (like off water, crystal, or a mirror). Focus on how the light moves — it helps quiet mental chatter while engaging your visual mind.

Margrets shoulder shimmy

Margret’s got a creaky joint

Her right side’s out of point—

But play a tune, she’s up to prance,

Half in pain, half in dance!

She twirls, she spins—oh what a sight,

Left side groovin’, right side tight!

The shoulder groans, but Margret grins—

That’s how every party begins!

She twirls, she spins—oh what a sight,
