About 4 years ago while visiting my most dear friend – who calls me her “$2500 friend”; which by the way is the amount she felt was lost when we met in a yoga training, but exchanged in gaining a powerfully unique friendship in one another! From the moment we met, we just knew we would do the rest of life together! But, I would have never known just how much “lights” would make my life different as well as for those I share it with in my practice. Once again, life just has a way of balancing out the losses and wins – and the wins just kept coming for all of us, when we discovered LIGHTS, camera, action!
Oddly enough that day in particular I had seen a physical therapist to assist me with some body work for my spondylolisthesis and hip mis-alignment. I had made it to her house, after a long 3 hour drive still in pain and once again she had a “answer” for me. No matter what and where we are we always have some new science or discovery to share to help each other in our practices. So, that night I gave it a try and no lie, i had not felt better than this since God only knows when. My pain was gone and my state of mind and well being felt at peace and overall balanced. I drove home the next day and couldn’t believe how I felt. In fact 2 days later I asked her to meet me ½ way so I could borrow the lights for a few days and really discover what they are about.
Today, I have the opportunity to share the healing power of LIGHT with many people who are in chronic pain, fatigued, depressed and suffering from overall inflammation.
All life begins with light. When God created this earth, He said “Let there be light”. We experience life on 2 levels everyday; the physical and spiritual. Physically when light transmutes the darkness life is initiated from the inside microscopic cellular activation to the external manifestation of growth and production visible to the naked eye- light brings to life what was not.
Spiritually, throughout the scriptures light is referred to in reference to Jesus being the Light and in HIM there is no darkness. I believe ultimately Jesus represents the healing of all darkness; sin, hate, disease and pain. I could go on and on about the illumination of light in our minds, bodys, spirits and energy, but I think you get the point. LIGHT HEALS at every level.
Why does Light Therapy Work?
Practically speaking, light therapy promotes the healing process with red, blue and infrared diodes when placed on the body with the Inlight Therapy. All cells in the body have a miniature power plant within, called the mitochondria. This is where our cells’ energy is produced; ATP. Because the mitochondria are very sensitive to light, infrared light therapy can stimulate ATP production in the mitochondria, in response the nerves receive glucose and oxygen through increased blood flow to the nerves and NITRIC OXIDE is then released from the hemoglobin into the bloodstream. When nitric oxide is released from hemoglobin, it enters the muscle cells in the walls of the blood vessels. The muscle cells relax as the blood vessel diameter enlarges, allowing more blood to flow through the vessels.
Benefits of Increased Nitric Oxide and CIRCULATION:
I’m Kelsey. For decades I’ve walked alongside women through chronic pain, burnout, motherhood, faith shifts, and the complicated in-between seasons of life.
What I know for certain: real change doesn’t come from doing more. It comes from surrendering what we’ve been forced to be to what we really want to BECOME. Aligning with what matters most to experience the “more” your soul craves.
The Kelsey Mercer Podcast explores what it actually looks like to live with purpose, resilience, and connection — in every season. No polish, no pretense. Just honest dialogue on faith, health, relationships, and the work of becoming.
