This week, we welcome to the show physicist, light therapist, researcher and author of Light Therapies: A Complete Guide to the Healing Power of Light, Anadi Martel.

Now, if you've read Pieces of Eight, or if you've seen some of the premium member bonus material, you'll know I've long been fascinated by what we stupidly still call 'alternative medicine' rather than the more clunky if not much more accurate 'modes of living and healing that do not emerge from a dysfunctional belief system'.

And I'm especially interested in the ones that, whilst they are used for treatment, are better thought of as unavoidable universals. You don't have to use acupuncture, right? But you can't avoid having a relationship with light, and sunlight in particular.

It is nowhere more obvious that we have a complete failure in the descriptive powers of the official version of reality than when it comes to accounting for the effects of sunlight, mindfulness meditation, forest bathing, and so on.
