ScienceDaily (Nov. 3, 2011) — “In a new study, biologists report that melanocyte skin cells detect ultraviolet light using a photosensitive receptor previously thought to exist only in the eye. This eye-like ability of skin to sense light triggers the production of melanin within hours, more quickly than previously thought, in an apparent rush to protect against damage to DNA.”  Brown University, the National Institutes of Health, and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada supported the research. more >>

‘White’ light suppresses the body’s production of melatonin more than orange light Exposure to the light of white LED bulbs, it turns out, suppresses melatonin 5 times more than exposure to the light of High Pressure Sodium bulbs that give off an orange-yellow light. “Just as there are regulations and standards for ‘classic’ pollutants, there should also be regulations and rules for the pollution from artificial light at night,” says Prof. Abraham Haim of the University of Haifa.
‘White’ light bulbs that emit light at shorter wavelengths are greater suppressors of the body’s production of melatonin than bulbs emitting orange-yellow light, a new international study has revealed. Melatonin is a compound that adjusts our biological clock and is known for its anti-oxidant and anti- cancerous properties. The study investigated the influence of different types of bulbs on ‘light pollution’ and the suppression of melatonin, with the researchers recommending several steps that should be taken to balance the need to save energy and protecting public health. “Just as there are regulations and standards for ‘classic’ pollutants, there should also be regulations and rules for pollution stemming from artificial light at night,” says Prof. Abraham Haim, head of the Center for Interdisciplinary Chronobiological Research at the University of Haifa and the Israeli partner in the research.
“The current migration from the now widely used sodium lamps to white lamps will increase melatonin suppression in humans and animals,” the researchers say. The researchers make some concrete suggestions that could alter the situation without throwing our world into total darkness, but first and foremost, they assert that it is necessary to understand that artificial light creates “light pollution” that ought to be addressed in the realms of regulation and legislation.

“There is ample evidence that men and women think, express themselves and even experience emotions differently (for more details, read on through this issue). But in the area of sensory perception, psychologists are hard-pressed to identify major discrepancies. By and large, the way the two genders experience the sounds, sights and smells of life is quite similar. The most striking exception may be found, at least for some, in the perception of colors.” Scientific American 2010 Article

“Light therapy may improve symptoms in pregnant women with depression, suggests a new study in Switzerland. Light therapy has shown success in people with seasonal affective disorder who generally get depressed during the winter when there’s less sunlight than at other times of year. Early findings have suggested the treatment might help people with non-seasonal depression as well.” April 21, 2011 Read More

“A new light technology, using a narrow spectrum of visible-light wavelengths called HINS-light, has been developed to fight certain super bugs. It can kill bacterial pathogens but is harmless to humans may help beat this potentially deadly threat in our hospitals. The technology decontaminates the air and exposed surfaces by bathing them in a narrow spectrum of visible-light wavelengths, known as HINS-light.” University of Strathclyde in Glasgow Research.

Lets go back to incandescent bulbs or better yet,
develop a safe, energy efficient light source for life…

L.E.D.’s lights were considered an eco-friendly alternative to traditional bulbs, energy efficient and mercury-free, but now research reveals this may not be so. Light emitting diodes (L.E.D.) emits more than light and contains numerous toxic heavy metals including lead, nickel, zinc, copper and even arsenic. These chemicals can even leach out of its glass housing, (bulb). The most emissions have been reported from low intensity red light.

L.E.D.’s are widely believed to be a safer commodity than compact fluorescent bulbs which now appears to be far from the truth. Perhaps we should reconsider incandescent or develop a safe, energy efficient ‘healthy’ light source for all purposes. more >>

There are so many other colors to embrace besides the Blues

The deck can be used for divination, color harmonics sessions and exercises to strengthen your intuitive abilities. A Limited First Edition is now available in English and I’m bringing out a Spanish version April 15.  You can view our movie and order the cards online. Click now >>

Maximojo and the Wand of Light
I’m currently writing my second fantasy novel. Maximojo and the Wand of Light is a heroic adventure about an invincible space hero and his magic wand of light. Together they attempt to save our constellation from collapse during the final moments of the switch in poles that precedes the change in the time continuum.

I’ll let you know when it’s available online but in the meantime, if you want to take a peek at the other books I’ve written visit, visit The Spectrahue Store >>

Spectrahue Writings are letters by Julianne Bien, also known as ‘The Light Lady” in many sectors world-wide. Please leave your questions and comments below and let’s build a community of light workers together.

I’m glad you are joining me here at Spectrahue Writings and I welcome you into this intuitive world of intentional focus, soaring imagination and inspiration. The world of color harmonics is exciting and I’m looking forward to sharing it with you.

Let’s turn back the clock to a time when our lives were expected to follow a standard social pattern of homes and careers, a pattern that unfolded according to the unwritten rules guiding most people’s expectations.

Remember those times in your own life?

Our existence was validated – or so we thought – through the concrete evidence of self-achievement. We now know that our ultimate goals and fulfillment are found in our dreams and expectations. We’re learning to give ourselves permission to color outside the lines of life. We are an expansive race and we need to evolve beyond the confines of other people’s expectations of us.

Although what I’m going to share on this blog may be a challenge (at first) to understand, my hope is that it will help you discover a destiny that touches your heart or moves you in new directions.

The idea of perception relates to welcoming inspirations you can embrace to create a future outcome previously unimaginable. Wonderful things can happen to you and new opportunities are possible. Somehow we restrain ourselves, holding back from what we know we can create.

My career in business started many years ago and although I have completed much personal development since then, that experience helped create the foundation of who I am today.   Now I fully understand how we all possess the ability to create limitless possibility.

I hope you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the wisdom of this scope of work. My sharing of thought in Spectrahue Writings will lead you to clarity, and the recognition that you are first and foremost a being of light.

So relax and enjoy the ride! I’ve done all the preliminary work for you already: I’ve laid the foundation, developed the methodology, created the tools and infused everything with the wisdom and insight I think will be most helpful.

Color harmonics is an intangible commodity that merges the scientific mind with spiritual elements at the speed of light and I hope you will take a few moments to explore my website for a better understanding of this fascinating area.
