Alchemical Wizard 42 : Red Spectral Light Therapy!
Our cells contain molecules that are called photoacceptors? The functioning of these molecules can be modified by light waves. Especially red and near-infrared light (650-1100 nm) that stimulate these molecules and have been shown to initiate cellular processes leading to increased cellular energy, healing, and cell longevity!
There are currently over 5000 published research articles on the effect of red and near-infrared light therapy on human and animal health. Some of the most promising research in red light research is focused on supporting connective tissue and skin health but red light might also lower inflammation and support brain health!Â
The physiological effects are based on a phenomenon called photobiomodulation, which means utilizing non-ionizing photonic energy to trigger photochemical changes in cellular structures that are receptive to photons, particularly in the mitochondria. At the cellular level, the mitochondria absorb the visible red and near-infrared energy that produce energy (ATP) in the cells through cytochrome C oxidase. Now, we have talked about ATP production and methylation extensively in many previous blogs! Such as in Alchemical Wizard 33 : Stimulating Autophagy for Mitochondrial Health!
One of the most important mechanisms of red light is its activating effect on cellular energy production, which is not due to the thermal effect of the lamps, but because the cells energy power stations, the mitochondria, are capable of absorbing red light at wavelengths of 600-1000nm. The visible red light emitting LED’s are best suited for superficial use, while low visibility infrared (IR) emitting bulbs are capable of affecting several centimeters deeper into tissue!
After the invention of the light bulb in the late 19th century, it was possible to provide light locally to different parts of the body. The invention of laser light in the 1960s made it possible to centralize single wavelength light and use it, for example, in laser acupuncture therapy (soft laser). The new LED light technology has made it possible to replace the soft laser with the most economical LED’s with sufficient luminous efficacy that can narrow the wavelength of light precisely enough. The visible red light has a wavelength of 620–700 nm, followed by an invisible near-infrared light in the wavelength spectrum between 700 nm and 1400 nm (99 % of the near-infrared light is invisible to the eye).
Red light therapy uses light energy which is a form of electromagnetic radiation (EMR). Human cells contain molecules whose functioning can be altered when receiving EMR. Indeed, the uptake of EMR is an important process that enables life on Earth. For example, the eye contains photoreceptors that absorb light and contribute to vision.
In addition, some cells contain molecules that are not related to vision per se, but have special molecules that accept light waves (these are called photoacceptors as well). In these cells, the light waves cause biological chain reactions that contribute to energy production in the cell. So to take this further and to connect the dots we have discussed Photonic Light, the incoming Air showers and EMR’s (Gamma chorus waves) in Alchemical Wizard 21 : Cosmic Rays influence on our Biofield Physiology!
Photobiomodulation is the utilization of non-ionizing photonic energy to trigger photochemical changes within cellular structures that are receptive to photons, particularly in mitochondria. Red light and NIR light therapy is believed to mainly work through photoacceptors. The most important photoacceptor being an enzyme called cytochrome c oxidase.
So to reiterate, Red light therapy uses exclusively red to near-infrared light waves (λ = 600–1100 nm). Red light waves penetrate through the skin and make their way to the cell’s mitochondria where they increase the cells’ energy production. There are various events that lead to this, for example, acceleration of mitochondrial respiration via cytochrome c oxidase. Red light also supports the transcription of new gene products (such as proteins or RNA). Thus, it supports several cellular mechanisms that contribute to healing and cell longevity! Â
Here are some of the main benefits of Red light therapy but not limited to!
Support's mitochondria by enhancing energy production
Boosts collagen production
Improvement of skin
Relief of joint pain and arthritis
Speeds up muscle recovery
Supportive of weight loss
Joint repair and bone repair
Enhanced hair growth for those experiencing hair loss
Potential benefits for cancer recovery and prevention!
These wavelengths have also been linked to cognitive enhancement and overall brain health!
In closing… If you are living where you may not be getting enough sunlight or you may be indoors to often, you might consider Red Light Therapy or buying a small device for your home. It could be as easy as an appropriate Red Light Bulb in a lamp placed down by your feet!
Now many of you are ahead of the curve, seeking comfort amidst the unfolding chaos on Earth and the crumbling of the old systems of control as we build a new epoch!
Remember, you carry a unique piece of the puzzle, and anchoring this energy/light will help others find their way. If you can embrace others with differing beliefs, recognizing them as fellow spirits, you activate your multi-dimensional capabilities. This shift invites you to live more fluidly, releasing rigid thoughts and embracing new perspectives. I know full well this can be difficult as so much Social Conditioning has been programed into our duality 3D Matrix.
Take a breath and anchor your light within your biological body. Let it flow through you, grounding into the Earth. You might have to take your shoes off once in a while! Gaia welcomes your energy, including your negativity, and transforms it, much like trees converting carbon dioxide into oxygen. This exchange is natural and supports the Earth’s balance. Gaia herself is changing, and you play a crucial role in these shifts as we get closer to the 5D frequencies!
Blessings Everyone as we continue with Holistic Health modalities to inspire confidence as we unlock resources to make this Ascension shift more meliorative! One of the motivations for the emerging field of Quantum Biology is to elucidate new insights into biological function that may emerge from a quantum perspective!
We are Sovereign and We are most defiantly Freeing Ourselves! And Please Stay Hydrated as the SEP’S (Solar Energetic Particles) and Air Showers (Gamma chorus waves) continue until this adaptation to a higher frequency is completed!
