Dark chocolate, yes that too.
But this blogpost is about the beauty of a dark night sky and the healing rhythms of nature.
I’m on a year-long study of Circadian Biology, the powerful (and free) healing potential of aligning ourselves with nature’s cycles.
Every one of our 50 trillion cells has its own biological clock. If you have low energy, poor digestion, less than ideal sleep, headaches or immune issues your genes will respond favorably to getting enough natural sunlight. And just as importantly, enough darkness at night.
Try it for a week or two and see what happens. Greet the day by spending a few minutes outside at dawn and again at dusk. Turn off any unnecessary indoor and outdoor lights. The EMFs from static, artificial light causes an imbalance in our nervous system.
It was an eye-opener for me when my house was tested for EMFs. The lights in my kitchen gave off almost as much static as my wifi router. I replaced them with blue-blocking red bulbs and instantly felt a calmness in my body and my mind relaxed.
We can save money and improve our health with a few easy steps. Use motion detector lights rather than leaving outdoor lights on all night. Motion lights have been proven to create more safety for you than bright, static lights. Using light shields or replacing bulbs with warmer tones (yellow or red) is beneficial for you, your plants, the trees and the wildlife.
Remember how you felt the last time you watched a gradual sunset or sunrise?
To be in the rhythm of nature’s natural light is restorative to your body, mind and spirit. Give it a try and notice what you notice.
