Thanks, Sally.

Good to be here.

I think totally differently about...

sunlight and about light in general.

People don't realize all the light that surrounds us is actually being absorbed by our molecules.

So I started seeing light as this physical force that's interacting with my body in a lot of different ways.

What does that mean?

Is it good?

Is it bad?

Is it both?

But then if you want to get really cosmic for a moment here.

Well, so all of the energy in our bodies was once light.

All of that energy was sunlight.

Came from the sun, came to Earth, usually got absorbed by a plant, and then made its way to us.

So it's just sunlight taking different forms.

And our entire consciousness is basically this flow of light transformed into different types of energy that is just moving through our bodies all the time.

Over the past few decades, we've all been kind of trained to feel a little guilty when sunlight hits us.

And that went away for me once I'd done this research.

And it fixed my relationship with the sun, in a sense.

We are in a bit of a historical anomaly with this idea that sunlight is bad for us.
