Hey there,
It’s Eric Thompson here.
I’ve been in the comfort of my Midwest home for a week now…
I’m not used to staying home, though.
I love traveling.
But now that I’m here…
I’ve been thinking about how our homes are our safety nests.
Our sanctuary.
This environment definitely affects our well-being…
Especially that of our pineal gland.
Our homes, much like our bodies…
Need to be cared for in a way that supports our health…
Our spiritual growth, and yes, our pineal glands.
So, I’m inspired to give you some tips for transforming your living spaces into pineal-friendly zones.
Ready? Let’s get into it.
Before we dive deep, let’s chat about what exactly throws our pineal gland off balance.
The main culprits?
Artificial light and electromagnetic fields (EMFs).
We’ve covered these topics in other newsletters.
Imagine these as the modern world’s pesky side effects…
Sneaking into our homes and disrupting our internal rhythms.
Now, onto lighting.
Our pineal gland thrives on natural light.
It’s what signals to our body when it’s time to wake up and when it’s time to wind down.
But let’s be real…
In our 24/7 world…
We’re surrounded by artificial lighting that confuses our poor pineal glands.
So, what’s a person to do?
For starters, I’m looking around my home and seeing where I can let in more sunlight.
I’m doing my best to embrace those rays during the day to keep my internal clocks ticking just right.
Think bigger windows, skylights…
And maybe even rearranging furniture to bask in that natural light.
But as the sun sets…
That’s where the real challenge begins.
It’s time to swap out those bright, blue-light-emitting bulbs for something gentler, warmer.
I’m talking about bulbs that mimic the setting sun…
They prepare our bodies (and pineal glands) for a restful night.
And hey, why not throw in some candles for that cozy, amber glow in the evening?
This will create a vibe that almost says, “Relax, it’s time to rest.”
Moving on to the invisible elephant in the room—EMFs.
These invisible waves from our Wi-Fi, smartphones, and other gadgets…
Are like static to our pineal gland’s smooth rhythm.
They’re not doing us any favors in the relaxation or spiritual connection department.
Here’s my game plan: rethinking where I keep my Wi-Fi router.
It’s finding a new home, centrally located but far from where I spend most of my time…
And… unplugging it before I go to bed.
I’m also dusting off those old Ethernet cables for a wired internet connection when possible.
It might sound like a step back, but hey…
Less EMF exposure is a step forward for our health.
And at night? I’m committed to creating an EMF-free zone.
That means powering down gadgets, putting on airplane mode…
And maybe even investing in an EMF-blocking phone case.
This ensures a peaceful, tech-free sanctuary where our pineal glands can thrive.
Now, it’s also important to make our homes visually and energetically supportive.
I’m inspired by the natural beauty and simplicity I saw in Mexico…
And I want to bring that vibe into my home.
Natural materials are key here.
Wood, stone, natural fibers…
They all bring a piece of the earth into our living spaces…
Grounding us and, you guessed it, supporting our pineal gland.
Air quality is another biggie.
Did you know that the air inside our homes can be more polluted than outside?
That’s why I’m turning to air-purifying plants and a top-notch air filter.
Plants not only clean the air but also add life and energy to our homes. It’s a win-win.
And clutter—let’s not forget about clutter.
A cluttered space leads to a cluttered mind…
And neither is conducive to a healthy pineal gland.
So, I’m also committing to decluttering…
And creating spaces that are open, serene…
And perfect for meditation or just being.
I don’t know about you, but my bedroom is my personal haven.
For me, it deserves extra attention.
That’s why I’m looking into mattresses and bedding that are free from harsh chemicals and made with natural materials.
This will help create a sleep environment that invites restful nights and, consequently…
A happy pineal gland.
And light in the bedroom?
Blackout curtains and sleep masks are my new best friends.
They block out all that artificial light from the outside world…
Making it easier for our bodies to produce melatonin.
You know, the sleep hormone that our pineal gland loves to secrete.
Last but not least, let’s talk about reducing our exposure to chemicals, especially fluoride.
I know I’ve said it before, but it never hurts to repeat it.
It’s in more places than you think…
And it’s not doing our pineal glands any favors.
I’m switching to fluoride-free toothpaste and investing in a water filter that removes fluoride from my drinking water…
And a shower water filter so I don’t absorb fluoride during showers.
These small changes can have a big impact on our health and our home’s energy.
So, there you have it.
Together, we can create homes that not only look good…
But also feel good and do good for our pineal glands.
Until next time, take care and start envisioning your pineal-friendly home.
It’s more than just a place to live—it’s a sanctuary for your soul.
Warmly,
Eric Thompson
