Notes from a High Priestess

By Karen Unsworth Berger, BAA, TFH

There are ancient wisdoms that can help us achieve our optimal potential in health and longevity, despite today's environment where we are swimming 24/7 in a soup of Non Native EMF, chemicals,  heavy metals, and other pollutants which did not exist during our evolution.. This is a completely different environment. We CAN take control, and thrive in today's world by going back to those forgotten ancient practices and knowledge - to the basic fundamentals of life and nature, reconnecting with ancient traditions. 

Common sense instinctively tells us the best diet is natural, organic, unprocessed, and local, but diet is only one small piece of the pie.  What are the biggest challenges of society today - not just in physical health, but mental, and spiritual?  What would a High Priestess (the spiritual leader, healer and wise woman of the sophisticated Egyptian civilization about 6,000 years ago) advise us if she could speak to us today? 

1. See the sunrise every day, unfiltered through glass, glasses, contact lenses, sunglasses, or sunscreen.  This is the first priority...expose skin and eyes to the mainly red and infra red rays of sunrise. Do your best to get outside every morning 10 minutes before sunrise and stay out 20 minutes after. Expose as much skin as possible, weather permitting, to activate light receptors in the skin and eyes. (This light also conditions the "solar callus" of the skin to more easily tolerate stronger UVA and UVA rays, reducing photo aging.) This exposure will synch your thousands of the circadian clocks - the main clock being the Supercosmatic Nucleus (SCN) the hypothalamus. 

The SCN synchs our clocks in the much the same way that a conductor synchs a symphony orchestra so they play sychronised, beautiful harmonic music instead of random chaos.  Note the ancient Egyptians built the Sphinx facing the east towards sunrise, in full "grounding" position with all feet on the earth. (More about grounding coming up.)

2.  Amethyst crystals - on the body and in the home.  The ancient Egyptians wore amethyst  for spiritual divine connection and protection against bad energies - for today's issues, amethyst would also be stabilising for the body's electrical system, sooth nervous tension, calm the mind also in relation to headaches and insomnia, and to support the circadian biology and synchronisation controlled by the sunrise.  Amethyst Geode pieces (see image) in the home reduce negative effects of computer/nnEMF and geopathic stress. Again, look for dark purple with larger crystals. Place beside water taps,  near electronics, and on window sills. The geode is very stable and does not require regular cleaning. 

You can wear amethyst simply in your pocket, or as a bracelet on the right wrist, or as pendant (with no or as little metal as possible, on a leather necklace). Look for a dark purple colour, without white streaks.  Wear at least 4 hrs (or all day) at least 4 days a week.   (Make your own using the image as a guide - it also uses clear quartz -  or purchase from this site.)

3. Fix your indoor light environment - artificial blue light toxicity: 

• DAY:  Even homes with abundant windows and "natural light" have glass filtered light are blue light toxic since glass filters most of the reds.  During the day, weather permitting, open windows, sliding doors etc. to let full spectrum light in.  
• DAY:  In nature, red light is the antidote for blue light.  Dilute the blue light by leaving Himalayan salts lamps on during the day to boost warm spectrum wavelengths, as well as a lamp with a red bulb - especially in a home office. 
• EVENING:  Avoid using artificial lighting as much as possible, especially from blue light producing LED and Fluorescent ceiling lights as they are completely deficient in the warm wavelength of red, infra red, and UV.  Instead, use a red bulb in lamps. 
• EVENING: Use red bulb lamps and Himalayan salt lamps instead of regular lighting (7-15 watt).  Media or TV can have 1 red bulb lamp and 1 salt lamp to dilute blue light from the screen. 

Blue light in nature is ALWAYS in balance with warm frequencies - it is never isolated.  Note that studies have shown that blue light exposure also increases blood sugar levels, insulin, which can lead to weight gain and diabetes -  We can become diabetic without even eating carbs! High triglycerides can lead to heart attack, pancreatitis, and metabolic syndrome  including high blood pressure, cholesterol, and excess abdominal fat.  (UVA light frequency benefits blood pressure.)  

4.  Sunlight:  This would be mainly referring to out door full spectrum light from 2 hours after sunrise to 2 hours before sunset.  This time has the most diverse spectrum of light - we need all wavelengths for optimal mitochondrial function, hormones, vitamin D and other similar molecules, and other functions - for example the production of Nitric Oxide which requires UVA to support healthy blood pressure.  The benefits are countless. Dr. Jack Kruse insists never to wear sunscreen or sunglasses as this disrupts the communication between photo receptors in the eye and skin which work together.  (Instead, cover up, go in the shade, use sunglasses only if needed for glare.)   Infra red light is high around plants and trees even in the shade, but UV does not pass through umbrellas etc. - it must touch the skin directly to be utilised. 

The ideal time to be outside is around solar noon where we have the highest percentage of UVA and UVB - only 10% of the rays are UVB at this time. In strong sun, i just stay out at solar noon for 10-15 minutes or less, then get into the shade or cover up.   Dr. Kruse describes building a solar callus, by using sunrise light to increase skin tolerance to mid day sun.  If you are fair or burn easily , you may have to limit mid day exposure to just a few minutes until you build your callus. Note that wearing glasses/sunglasses/contacts increases burning since the signals from light receptors in the eyes and skin are not aligned with each other. 

5. Circadian Eating habits:  Synch your meals with the 24 hour circadian cycle.. breakfast is best if possible in the first 1/2 hour of sunrise, before UVA (a natural appetite suppressant) comes into the spectrum.  Depending on the time of year and latitued, dinner should ideally finish no later than 3 hours before bed - so in summer, desert ending no later than about 7pm, OR in winter months with a shorter day, dinner should end by sunset. 

6.  Turmeric Blend with honey and bee pollen:  The ancient Egyptians treasured raw honey for it's healing powers, and was found in tombs, still edible, thousands of years later.  Bee pollen was considered "the powder that gives life", and valued for its nutrient density and ability to promote overall vitality.    This is a delicious and balanced, whole food powerhouse of nutrients including vitamin B complex, and micro nutrients.  Today, they are especially important for their concentrated nutrients, protein, B vitamins, and anti-inflammatory properties. 

• Make up a container of turmeric blend using organic ingredients - 6T turmeric, 2T ginger powder, 1T ground black pepper. 
• Add 3T of this blend to a small bowl such as soup bowl.  Then add 3T local bee pollen, 3 rounded T local white raw honey (not liquid), and 3T water.
• Mix well, spoon into a jar and eat 1T 2 x day - morning and in the afternoon or before dinner. 

7.  Topical Magnesium spray:  Today's high Non Native EMF (nnEMF) environment dramatically increases our requirement for magnesium.  Spray 3x into the palm, and massage into the upper chest.  Best first thing in the morning, before bed, and somewhere in between. 

8.  Peridot Crystals:  Before writing this article I was completely unaware how important Peridot was to the ancient Egyptians, who ironically called Peridot "The Gem of the Sun".  The uninhabited Island of Zabargad (now called St. John's Island, a national park) in the Red Sea is composed largely of Peridot rock.  Cleopatra's "emeralds" are thought to be peridot from Zabargad Island.  It's properties for the people included connecting with Nature, restful sleep, happiness and wealth. 

Today, we can wear a green peridot bracelet,  or stones in your pocket (about 12gm) for detoxification from stored Non Native EMF (nnEMF) stress including blue light, wifi, 5G, etc.  It may also have a shielding effect for nnEMF exposure in general  - I am currently exploring the possible mechanism.  

You can make your own bracelet with peridot, pearl, and clear quartz, by copying the image, (or purchase from this site).   Pearl keeps the peridot charged, and clear quartz enhances it's energies. Or you can wear at least 12gm Peridot in your pocket - it is easy to find in rock shops - they always have a weigh scale handy and it is quite inexpensive.  To keep things simple, the peridot can be worn at the same time as the amethyst - at least 4 hours, 4 days per wk.  If you are sensitive to nnEMF's, always wear it when you are exposed, such as traveling, or in a office environment. 

9.  Heart, bladder, Pancreas, Kidney energy:  These organs are especially challenged by today's environment.  Protein is a stabiliser for high Non Native EMF environments - high quality proteins for this include  fish (wild sockeye, anchovies, herring, sardines), even canned smoked oysters if well rinsed, pastured meats.  

10. Brain Energy: 

• Let the brain follow it's natural circadian function at night by keeping artifical lights off after dark and avoid the use of screens. (ideally use Himalayan salt lamps.)  A red bulb lamp and Himalayan salt lamp close to a TV will help to dilute blue light from the screen.  Historically we used only candles, firelight, and went to bed with the darkness outside.  Check #3 above and be sure your home lighting supports your circadian biology, especially in northern latitudes in winter. 
• Circadian eating timing - finish dinner by 7pm (or 3 hrs before bed time - in winter by sunset - time is dependent on latitude).   See the sunset only for about 6 minutes - 4 minutes before and 2 minutes after.  Note that after sunset there is absolutely no blue light in nature - this absence triggers the release of melatonin to prepare the body for night time and sleep, and night brain function to begin.  

11.  Cold Thermogenesis:  In ancient Egypt this would have meant regular bathing in the Nile or sea. For us today, we can simulate this by having a normal shower in the morning, then optionally remove the handle and gradually turn the water cool as you can, focusing on the thymus area, abdomen (for micro biome), and then any areas where you have problems or illness (such as hip, head, breast etc) or feel you have too much fat. Its also excellent for the skin.  Do this for 5 minutes. 

The mitochondria function better and optimise with short term cold exposure, including the electron transport chain and energy production, metabolism, etc.  If this is impossible to do, such as with the elderly/frail, use a cold pack on the thymus gland area (not heart) for 3 minutes and abdomen (micro biome) for 3 minutes, plus any other problem areas. 

12. Environmental stress and immune system in general, including EHS (Electro Hyper Sensitivity), moulds, chemicals, viruses:

• See the sunrise (10 minutes before, 20 minutes after) every morning, sun exposure during the day. 
• Ground with bare or sock feet on the grass, stone/brick, or concrete, 30 minutes 2 x day.  This will help to "keep the orchestra playing in synch", and supply anti-inflammatory, desperately needed electrons from the surface of the earth to increase our negative charge.  (High Non Native EMFs create a positive charge.) 

13.  Power up your gut Micro Biome: 

• Cold thermogenesis for 5 minutes, especially on the abdomen even with an ice pack, gives the good microbes in the gut a huge energy boost. 
• Exposing the abdomen to daylight - even for a few seconds (longer if you have digestive issues) is immediately balancing to desireable gut microbes.

Studies have found that equatorial Africans, living in optimal light stability (12 hrs light, 12 hrs darkness per day), maintained a healthy balanced micro biome, even when fed American junk food, soda, candy, and antibiotics. 

14.  Hydration:  To increase the special type of water our cells use, of course we need to drink several glasses of fluoride free water per day, but the priority that most do not realise is that the production of this special water produced by the mitochondria, is triggered by and requires the frequencies of natural outdoor daylight.  We need at least a total of 1 hour outside during the time 2 hours after sunrise, to 2 hours before sunset - without glasses, sunglasses, or sunscreen. (If the sun is too strong, cover up or go in the shade.) 

15.  Exercise:  Walk about 45-60 minutes per day.. I walk 45 minutes in the morning about 8am, then 10 minutes later before dinner.  If working on the computer, get up and move around for 10 minutes at least every hour.   I do yoga 3-5 hours after sunrise depending on the dayligh time.  Exercise 7 days/week.  Keep in mind that the gym is not a good option (except perhaps yoga classes where the lights are off) because artificial light has a counterproductive effect on blood sugar and metabolism. 

16.  Bone energy:

• Grounding is key for bone health.  Get full spectrum daylight at least 1 hour throughout the day - this will also boost vitamin D and related hormone important for bone health..
• Practice circadian eating by eating local produce - whatever is grown in your area or latitude that time of year.
• Get 2 servings of quality protein: pastured eggs and meats, general seafood per day.  Meat portions should be modest - 100 to 150 gm depending on the person's size. 

17.  Keep the indoor home environment free of stressful energies and blue light toxicity:   

• Open windows to get a flow through air cleaning for 10 minutes in the morning in warmer weather, in cold weather it works faster so even 2 minutes can be enough. 
• Clear clutter, which has a stressful vibration. 
• Use (dark purple) amethyst geode pieces ideally in every room  - where there is water such as kitchen and bathroom taps, place a small piece on the right of the taps. Amethyst also reduces stressful "chaotic" energies by creating "order" and structure. Look for dark purple pieces with larger crystals - much of this comes from Brazil. 
• As mentioned above in #3, replace all lamp bulbs with incandescent bulbs, and the odd red bulb to add more red spectrum to simulate daylight.  Use Himalayan salt lamps and the red bulbs all day and evening - they produce a natural warm light which counteracts blue light from either light through glass, TV screens, or artificial lighting.  

If we utilise the forgotten fundamentals of the past, and combine it with our advancement in hygiene, increasing knowledge in trauma medicine, de-centralised medicine, and exploring quantum physics, we can have it better than any of us could imagine.   We could live happier, healthier, and longer than ever before.   Change starts with the first step.
