The Blu Room also provides a lifting of mood. Mood is a residual attitude we carry with us between emotional storms. When mood is lifted, the storms can abate. In addition to a vitamin D boost, the Blu Room triggers the brain to release endorphins. Among other effects, the secretion of endorphins induces a sense of euphoria and enhances the immune response. With higher endorphin levels, you feel less pain and are less affected by stress. Many users report a sense of detachment, a sense of no time passing, and a state of joy, all of which are normal states.

All pathologies begin as polarized attitudes that chemically stress the body. When you remove the polarity, you make room for deep relaxation, a sense of tranquility, and the opportunity for the greater mind to be present and observe a greater reality to be experienced in the body.
In addition to clinical locations, the Blu Room can be found at spas and wellness services. Most spa/wellness programs treat the body. When we think “spa,” we often think of massage, facials, manicures, etc. When we think “wellness program,” we conjure up weight loss, fitness, supplements, and more. With the Blu Room, relaxation and beauty starts with the mind. True beauty is a radiance from within, where one feels calm, open, light, and inspired!
