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!!!

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! :)

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?

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:

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?

Expand full comment
author

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.

.... late to this conversation: There is an app called: f.lux

-which will convert your computer and/or phone screen from emitting blue light to warm light. As it is much easier on the eyes...fortunately the blue light emanating from the computer screen, tv, and phone annoy the heck out of me. Thus the annoyance has prevented this person from becoming a social media addict.... the blue light is so annoying...

ON UHD TV's the whites at night seem blinding to me. One cannot seem to adjust the blinding blacklight, whiteness of the tv...are there any suggested apps etc. other than Blue blocking Glasses to adjust the darn light from the TV? Have tried every setting...

In addition, SPEAK UP FOLKS...

received a script from Ophthalmologist to add blue blocker tint to my glasses upon receipt of the spectacles, noticed no blue block tint... the Optometrist replied it was a 'waste of $$' as people really don't need it. HEY, there it was ON MY SCRIPT by the DR. and yet...this person made an 'executive decision' deciding HOW to spend MY money! LOL

Needless to say...never going back...

SPEAK UP FOLKS...

Wondering what 'white spots' in your tan skin mean? Have been a religious user of sunscreen to this day, however the more sun exposure, the more I have been experiencing little white specks on my arms, that do NOT tan...they stay white. These spots do not travel nor grow in size...

Wondering... Does that mean my flesh has hit maximum UV absorption? Inquiring here, since one usually forgets to mention at annual checkup with Family doctor in October (when it is usually rainy and not sunny) LOL

Hi Vinnie, thanks for your comment. Those white specks could be what are called amelanotic melanoma, as melanomas usually have a darker color. Hard to say - you could email me a pic if you'd like? The best way to build your skin protection would be by getting good doses of infrared / red light in the AM, before UV arrives in your area.

The more IR light we get, the more UV we can absorb:

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 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!

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.
