You're correct Marten - we take that Sun for granted. Are their any methods of Sun Gazing you could share or like to do? I've read that when the Sun is below a 15 degree angle to the horizon it's very beneficial (more red light)
Yup, you can do that at sun rising at the very beginning for couple of seconds, and at Sunset also !!! because the Sun emits a (field) and a (portal) at the same time and it is connecting with other planes and Dimensions aka Spiritual through what is called the Etheric Dimension aka Plane, and forgot that the emissive part is (toroid) like your Heart!!! Have a nice day
Yes and G.I. Gurdjieff....But Edgar Cayce was the real deal and also the late Dolores Cannon but Yourself are doing a great Job !!! And Man must use what He has, not hope for what is not !!!!
Yes Yes Yes!!!! I love your mindset Marten. Curious - what do you do? Do you teach? You can email me if you'd like info@thepowercouple.ca if you don't want to divulge personal things. Thank you so much for your kind words.
Hi Vixxen, good question. I like wearing hemp or linen, cotton works well, but hemp can offer up to 100% UV protection: Here's an article I wrote on sunscreen and clothing I like:
Don't use sunscreen! Use layered soft cotton clothing, like people used to do. The Sunsceens chemicals go right into your body through the biggest organ in your body! Your skin. And wear a cotton hat too. With a brim if you want to shade your face. My hubby wears one with a big brim and a little shawl that covers up the back of his neck! He says it helps a lot with the biting flies too! :)
Thank you Wendel for sharing this....I can feel your pain, I am in Ontario, though not as dark as you, it has been very cloudy. Have you considered an infrared sauna/ lighting?
Yes it is. I hear you. You can get standard lights for about $100 and then try to build your own, but the challenge is having an infrared sauna that is EMF-free. Sauna Space is a company I know that has these, they do financing so makes it affordable.
Thank you for taking this much trouble! Since reading Dr Mercola on infrared saunas including his warning about emf I have wanted one but for the time being I have to make do without! Starting with what you describe in your article with catching light at sunup and
Great to hear Wendel. Let me know how you feel. It may take some adjusting, but this is why Sunrise / AM light is important, as that is what begins the cycle of melatonin production. Do you get a lot of morning light?
That will be another adjustment! I am an evening person so I “ll have to reset my biological clock but it will be worth it if it helps me sleep better!
Thanks for the article, Roman! I'm in Ontario. I have been using the regular bulb-sized grow lights which claim to be full-spectrum in my kitchen ceiling in hopes of keeping winter months healthier for us and my house plants. Do you have an opinion on this kind of idea?
Hi! Thanks so much for asking. Good question. Can you send me the model of those lights? I recommend near infrared, as this wavelength generates photons that penetrate deeper into our optical tissue window.
Some companies like Sauna Space sell high quality ones, but you could probably get other ones for cheaper, or do straight heat lamps, but then you may get more EMF, and not near infrared.
Here's a podcast I did with Brian Richards the owner of SaunaSpace fyi:
Hello Roman! Thanks for the podcast I'll take a look. I use Full Spectrum Grow Light LED. 1000 Lumens 11W Non- Dimmable. High Output PPF 25 micromoles per second. Made in China X0032R9O3X
Central PA. I'm pretty sure the clouds are manufactured. We are socked in for days to weeks. I know I'm complaining. We are exploring moving, but have a lovely property where we organic garden and have chickens and orchard, etc.
Roman, this is a keeper! i loved the "ocular melatonin" and once you got into cerebrospinal fluid, well, we're surfing my channel. Thank you for your original and expanded perspective on these two things. Fascinating!
What about light coming through windows? It shifts frequencies toward the red spectrum. Wouldn't this be better than natural sunlight to get more red spectrums?
Thanks Nowhere. Good question. Anywhere from 30-60% of infrared can be blocked from modern windows, and UV-B is totally blocked. UV-B works in tandem with infrared light to help us absorb vitamin D, and UV also builds melanin in our skin, which is crucial for overall detox. Whenever you block full spectrum sunlight, this is a problem. I hope that helps answer your question? I'll mention you in Notes, as I can post a picture there for you.
We all need to know how to protect ourselves from electrosmog radiation because it is obvious that Big Telecoms are as intransigent and ignorant as big P-Harma.
I was telling my friends about how it's good to get sun in your eyes. But one of them said she has cataracts and the doctor says not to. Is there anything else that might help at that point?
Hi Renee, one more thing that could help cataracts is increasing levels of shellfish in the diet, I'll be doing an article on this kind of edible sunscreen, should come out on Monday
I have heard it is beneficial to look at the sun with your eyes closed too. But I dont recall where I read/saw this. I'd think any way she can get sun would be beneficial though. Ive also heard it can help heal the eyes - specifically bad vision, which intrigues me (after so many years, I'm damn sick of glasses & contacts, but I cant see shit without em lol) - but I need to find more info on this. I've seen reports from people directly who were able to heal their vision, in part or in whole, just not sure on the methods.
Twenty years ago I listened to a Deepak Chopra audio book, can't recall the title, wherein he suggested looking at the sun every morning (haha in the Pacific Northwest) through closed eyelids for a short period of time, I recall a minute or two. (As Roman says, it will be beneficial even with cloud cover.) Then gently rub your eyeballs while closed until you see multiple degrees of color changes, a minute or two. You will! I'm so sorry I didn't discipline myself to continue doing that one brief ayurvedic exercise every day.
Annie, thanks so much for your feedback on this! I didn't know about the rubbing of the eyes, but makes total sense. Well, it's never too late to start up again, is it? 🤔
Even though I can pretty much stare directly at the Sun, even at high noon, I had to build this up gradually by first doing sungazing at sunrise. I've been sungazing now for over 5 years, started with a few minutes at sunrise, then morning, plus afternoon etc. If you're just starting out you can try gazing at the sun at a 15 degree angle.
Yes!!! I should have mentioned that every account that I've read or heard about stated that they needed to start slowly and gradually build up to it. Often beginning with eyes closed (and something about "cupping" - not so much "rubbing" as the other commenter suggested. Im certainly not saying they're wrong, that just wasn't what I read. Cupping as in, put your hands over your eyes-perhaps the intent was to let in a bit more light with eyes open rather than closed?)
Still need to do more research. I will look into Deepak Chopra too as suggested above. This intrigues me very much. Im SOOOO sick of glasses & contacts. Plus its expensive. I cant help but wonder how many people had terrible vision like 50 years ago, compared to now. And what about before contacts & eyeglasses were as commonly available? Surely people didn't just walk around nearly blind? The excessive incidence of severe vision problems HAS to be a newer thing, right?
Hi Renee! Sorry haven't forgotten about you. I'm no optomologist, but from what I know cataracts are often found with individuals who are blue-light toxic. Proteins build up on the eye as a protection mechanism. The infrared light in the morning, especially sunrise, could be an immense benefit. How much is your friend on devices? Does she wear computer or blue blocking glasses?
I was injured by a pharma drug, unbeknownst to me at the time of severe injury, I was craving nature and sunlight.
I got out everyday and walked a bit nature in the am, this finally woke me up to what was causing my dis-ease and after two long years I was able to taper off.
Sunlight, grounding in nature and pure foods as our ancestors ate are the real medicine.
Happy I'm on the road the recovery.
I just found your sub stack, thank you for your research and informative articles.
What do think about infra red saunas? I know they're not created equal. I did purchase one ( hopefully one of the safest and grounding mat) for days too hot (in Arizona) and the rare time the sun isn't out.
Hi Freedom, thanks so much for sharing your story. The morning light is truly a Godsend. Happy you learned how to trust those ancestral instincts - I've found that once they come back they stick around. I would caution against IR saunas as many of them give off massive amounts of nn(non native) EMF. But send me the link to the one you have, I'd be happy to take a look.
The link between melatonin and eyes makes sense, but I hadn't thought about it. And I had no idea that there was a second type of melatonin. There's a lot to revisit here.
Usually up to date with info about chemistry/hormones. Didn't know this information. Guess it's time to get back OUT IN THE SUN instead of squirreling away in the house to avoid those pesky ultraviolet rays squawked about all the time.
Blaze, thanks so much for your comment- I'm happy to know you were able to find some value in the article! The sun can be poison, but if can also be our most potent medicine⚡️👊
Not much People do Sun Gazing !!! And it is unfortunate !!!!
You're correct Marten - we take that Sun for granted. Are their any methods of Sun Gazing you could share or like to do? I've read that when the Sun is below a 15 degree angle to the horizon it's very beneficial (more red light)

Thank you so much Marten for illuminating us all with your perspective! Have you studied Steiner?
Yes and G.I. Gurdjieff....But Edgar Cayce was the real deal and also the late Dolores Cannon but Yourself are doing a great Job !!! And Man must use what He has, not hope for what is not !!!!
Yes Yes Yes!!!! I love your mindset Marten. Curious - what do you do? Do you teach? You can email me if you'd like info@thepowercouple.ca if you don't want to divulge personal things. Thank you so much for your kind words.
What do you use to prevent burn when out in the sun all day??

I live in the Netherlands where especially in winter direct sunlight is quite scarce and even in summer rather weak unfortunately

If I could afford to buy it I would but I get the impression it is expensive

Sundown is already very helpful and free!
Thank you for this important information!! I take a lot of melatonin at night thinking it could do no harm and only good!! I shall stop as of today!
Great to hear Wendel. Let me know how you feel. It may take some adjusting, but this is why Sunrise / AM light is important, as that is what begins the cycle of melatonin production. Do you get a lot of morning light?

Exactly Wendel - you never know until you try! Have you heard of chronotypes?

We just don't have this kind of sun, just don't get it here. :(
Thanks for your feedback Lisa - where are you located?

How beneficial are far infared saunas?
You have to be careful since they can give off a lot of EMF if not plugged in correctly. Is there any specific model you're looking at?
I have the portable Therasage.,. It’s supposedly low EMFs.
Thanks for the reply. That's good to know...I'll take a look at another model and get back to you on your question.

I think this is true. He says in the substack that babies get the sunlight through the mothers belly. I am sure the same for eyelids.

I don't know. She is probably on devices a lot. I will let her know about sun rises and infra red and blue light. Thanks for letting me know this!

And regarding light frequency, you might find this interesting: https://rossrosen.substack.com/p/when-a-knife-scrapes-bamboo
Ross, thank you for sharing these. I look forward to diving in this weekend. I already like what I see - love the visual of the "choppy quality."
Roman, I look forward to hearing your thoughts on them. Best,
Hi Ross, I haven't forgotten about you....I'm digging into these articles now...Hope you're doing well otherwise, and keeping that blood energized (:
Fascinating. Thank you!
Thank you so very much Ann! Curious- what was the most eye-opening, "aha" moment about this for you?
The link between melatonin and eyes makes sense, but I hadn't thought about it. And I had no idea that there was a second type of melatonin. There's a lot to revisit here.
Fantastic! Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know, and for restacking as well! There is a lot more to cover for certain.
Usually up to date with info about chemistry/hormones. Didn't know this information. Guess it's time to get back OUT IN THE SUN instead of squirreling away in the house to avoid those pesky ultraviolet rays squawked about all the time.

Thank you for this incredible post. I have forgotten about this refreshing morning sunshine embrace and will start doing it again.
Happy to be an inspiration for you Larry! 👊⚡️
