"Concerning matter, we have been all wrong. What we have called matter is energy, whose vibration has been so lowered as to be perceptible to the senses. There is no matter." Attributed to Albert Einstein
We live in an 'ENERGY' SOUP. Electromagnetic energy is everywhere: radio and TV signals, modems, cordless phones, cell phone signals, smart meters, baby monitors, Bluetooth enabled devices, computers, satellites, tablets and let's not forget the Sun and stars all give off energy, electromagnetic radiation, and are all part of our lives.These energy signals are hard to avoid, especially in urban centres. Our CARS are even pulling in these signals and young children are exposed to them in WIRELESS CLASSROOMS as well as at home. It's getting hard to escape them.
For the most part, we SEEM to be doing okay.
BUT
When all the electromagnetic energy gets to be too much or too chaotic-picture a tangled mess of wires-our energy can become off-balance and scattered, our stress ramps up and our ability to heal is stifled. It's hard to be calm when our energy is scrambled and bombarded.
Living organisms strive for HOMEOSTASIS; we strive for BALANCE and equilibrium.
So what should we do?
Turn OFF the modem? Go back to wired devices? MAYBE, yes.
What about my bluetooth speaker and whatever will I do without Netflix...and should I turn off my cell phone? I just cut my landline!
RESEARCH: I started scouring through the online research, which was tricky because most of it is really out of date. I eventually found a very thorough report at bioinitiative.org, so if you want to investigate updated (2007, 2012 and 2017) and COMPELLING RESEARCH head over to that website.
Some of it was way over my head as far as interpreting the results, but the overall message was pretty clear-we need to demand the maximum allowed exposure levels (from towers, phones, our devices) to be much LOWER frequencies, and reclassify these radio frequencies as a human carcinogen.
CBC’s Marketplace TV Show
Wendy Mesley of CBC's show Marketplace aired a documentary On March 24, 2017, The Secret Inside Your Phone: Cellphone safety and testing. Here's the link, I highly recommend you watch it. The bottom line-keep your cellphone off your body.
With technology changing so rapidly and the internet of things continually expanding I feel the need to pull back and take a CLOSER LOOK at the effects it might have on all living things.
For now, I'm going to pay a little more attention to my exposure (especially while I'm sleeping) and TURN OFF more devices.
My big take away? The SECRET for EMF health is PROXIMITY (to the source) and DURATION (of exposure). Try to get some distance and turn it off, or maybe get out in nature-away from cell phone towers if you can.
