"We are water beings for a reason," says Carrie Bennett, who joins the Quantum Biology Collective podcast to unveil the profound connection between light, water, and the ether that surrounds us. Bennett explains how our bodies are not just biochemical machines, but liquid crystalline antennas capable of receiving energy and information from both light and the ether. This revolutionary perspective challenges conventional scientific understanding and offers a new framework for human potential and healing.

In this eye-opening discussion, Bennett delves into how circadian biology leads to a deeper understanding of water, which in turn reveals the existence of an energetic field that informs and energizes all of creation. She explores how our mitochondria produce water as energy, how we can harness life force from the ether, and why our baseline emotional state impacts our ability to organize this energy for self-healing. Bennett also tackles the controversial topic of aging, suggesting that our potential lifespan may be far greater than currently believed.

Tune in to today's episode to discover how quantum biology provides a comprehensive framework for optimizing health on all levels - physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual - and why this approach is not just another fad, but a fundamental return to our natural state of being.

5 Key Takeaways

1. Optimize your light environment: Get morning sunlight exposure, avoid artificial light at night, and use blue light blocking glasses in the evening to support proper hormone production and circadian rhythm.

2. Practice earthing and grounding: Connect with the earth's surface regularly to provide safety signals to your body and help balance your nervous system.

3. Cultivate a positive mindset: Work on shifting away from identifying with health conditions and instead focus on authenticity, peace, and joy as your baseline emotional state.

4. Be patient with the healing process: Understand that implementing lifestyle changes may lead to temporary symptom flare-ups or fatigue as your body rebalances. Stick with the process, as benefits compound over time.

5. Explore quantum biology principles: Learn about concepts like structured water, the ether, and biofield energy to develop a holistic framework for optimizing your health and tapping into your body's innate healing potential.

Memorable Quotes

"When you get a fever or when you develop mucus, it's an opportunity for your body to get stuff out that doesn't serve it. It is an opportunity. The question becomes, how can we help the body resolve that beneficial inflammatory cascade?"
"Our cells have this innate intelligence. If something's invading the cells and causing dysfunction, the body says this is not going to serve me long term. There's things we can do to push stuff out of the cell. Through our lens, we talk about building exclusion zone water."
"The foundation is light. When the light environment's in place, the mitochondria are healthier. When the mitochondria are healthier, the charge inside the cell is healthier. When that's healthier, the cell has the energy it needs to run all its processes."

Meredith Oke:

Carrie Bennett, welcome back to the QVC podcast.

Carrie Bennett:

Thanks for having me back, Meredith. Great to

Carrie Bennett:

chat with you.

Meredith Oke:

Okay, so one of the most popular episodes I think

Meredith Oke:

that I've ever done was where you walked us

Meredith Oke:

through circadian biology, into quantum biology,

Meredith Oke:

into what I like to say, un. Debunking the ether.

Meredith Oke:

I think there's a lot of things that are about to

Meredith Oke:

get undebun the coming, coming years. So let's.

Meredith Oke:

Let's start with a recap of that because it's a

Meredith Oke:

really profound shift. It triggered a lot of

Meredith Oke:

people. I got more comments on that. Back before

Meredith Oke:

we got kicked off YouTube. There were a lot of

Meredith Oke:

people on YouTube were like, but the Mickelson

Meredith Oke:

Morley. I'm like, that is covered in the

Meredith Oke:

interview. Go back and watch it. And they were

Meredith Oke:

really angry that we could talk about the ether

Meredith Oke:

in a realistic way. But most people found it

Meredith Oke:

extremely profound and had a really intuitive

Meredith Oke:

sense that, yes, there is something more going

Meredith Oke:

on. Okay, so let's do it. Circadian quantum ether.

Carrie Bennett:

Perfect. Right? Okay. So I think the way that we

Carrie Bennett:

would categorize this based on, like, if we

Carrie Bennett:

wanted to call it categories, I would say

Carrie Bennett:

understanding light leads people to this concept

Carrie Bennett:

of understanding water. A truer understanding of

Carrie Bennett:

water leads people to a truer understanding of

Carrie Bennett:

this field of energy that energizes, it informs

Carrie Bennett:

our bodies and just basically all of creation.

Carrie Bennett:

And so circadian, right? We are. We are beings

Carrie Bennett:

who need to know time of day in order to organize

Carrie Bennett:

all the tasks in our body. And that's done by

Carrie Bennett:

light, as you very well know. And this isn't a

Carrie Bennett:

new concept. This is the thing, too, that I think

Carrie Bennett:

I want people to understand. Like, there is this

Carrie Bennett:

thing called that. The very first quote, unquote,

Carrie Bennett:

circadian education I got was when I was in

Carrie Bennett:

massage therapy school 20 years ago, and I was

Carrie Bennett:

given an organ clock of traditional Chinese

Carrie Bennett:

medicine. Organ clock. It's like, oh, these

Carrie Bennett:

organs are active at these times. And then

Carrie Bennett:

they're basically in their calmest period at

Carrie Bennett:

these times. And I thought to myself, oh, that's

Carrie Bennett:

interesting. That's funny. I mean, I never

Carrie Bennett:

thought of that way. I wonder how they knew that.

Carrie Bennett:

And now it's like we're just getting a more

Carrie Bennett:

detailed approach to. Okay, so now we know that

Carrie Bennett:

testosterone is at its peak at this time of day,

Carrie Bennett:

and bowel movements are more likely here, but

Carrie Bennett:

less likely here. And now we're more likely to be

Carrie Bennett:

have active metabolism versus repair metabolism.

Carrie Bennett:

And all of these tasks, from the level of the

Carrie Bennett:

organ in the body all the way down into the tiny

Carrie Bennett:

Tiny cellular tasks and the functioning of the

Carrie Bennett:

mitochondria, all of those are based and need the

Carrie Bennett:

correct time in order to be able to know when to

Carrie Bennett:

run, when to proceed, how intense or less

Carrie Bennett:

intense, how active or in recovery mode do these

Carrie Bennett:

things have to be. And that's reliant on light

Carrie Bennett:

signaling. And that light signaling is that blue

Carrie Bennett:

wavelength range of light that is changing. It's

Carrie Bennett:

very small at sunrise, goes high at solar noon,

Carrie Bennett:

and then goes down and away at sunset. And that

Carrie Bennett:

timing and then a period of darkness, that is the

Carrie Bennett:

timing that we require to basically run all of

Carrie Bennett:

our tasks and our programs to the best of our

Carrie Bennett:

ability. That's that light signal that we need.

Carrie Bennett:

So that's understanding how light inferior forms

Carrie Bennett:

our body. But there's another aspect of light

Carrie Bennett:

that I would say is not as the same as what we

Carrie Bennett:

call circadian in that it keeps timing and it's

Carrie Bennett:

how light energizes our physical body. And

Carrie Bennett:

there's many ways that that happens as well as,

Carrie Bennett:

you know, we can get that light to strike our

Carrie Bennett:

skin and we can, through the water that connects

Carrie Bennett:

to the melanin in our skin, we, we can actually

Carrie Bennett:

break that water up into something called

Carrie Bennett:

molecular hydrogen and molecular oxygen. That

Carrie Bennett:

hydrogen, that's a charged donor, that's an

Carrie Bennett:

energy donor to my mitochondria. It calms

Carrie Bennett:

inflammation, so it helps to conserve energy in

Carrie Bennett:

my body and in my cells. And so that's when light

Carrie Bennett:

strikes the skin. But the key intersection here

Carrie Bennett:

that led me to water in general is that we've got

Carrie Bennett:

that special type of water inside of us that

Carrie Bennett:

Jerry Pollock really popularized, where that

Carrie Bennett:

water becomes charge separated or instead of

Carrie Bennett:

water just being this neutral liquid in a glass,

Carrie Bennett:

when light strikes that water and that water has

Carrie Bennett:

to be next to a water loving surface to do this.

Carrie Bennett:

And we are water loving surfaces, we're full of

Carrie Bennett:

water loving surfaces. Then when water, when,

Carrie Bennett:

when, when you have water next to that water

Carrie Bennett:

loving surface and then you add this input of

Carrie Bennett:

infrared light, you, that water becomes

Carrie Bennett:

negatively charged and pushes out an area of

Carrie Bennett:

positive charge. And that negative and positive

Carrie Bennett:

charge literally forms a battery of energy inside

Carrie Bennett:

of us. And so that's where circadian leads us to

Carrie Bennett:

understand information. But circadian and light

Carrie Bennett:

gives us energy as well. And then that leads us

Carrie Bennett:

to this understanding of this water, this water

Carrie Bennett:

inside of us. Meredith is special. It's a

Carrie Bennett:

completely different type of water that now I

Carrie Bennett:

categorize it as some people call it, structured,

Carrie Bennett:

it can be called easy water. I call it liquid

Carrie Bennett:

crystalline water because that allows us to

Carrie Bennett:

understand that Liquid crystals have very unique

Carrie Bennett:

properties, properties such as being broadband

Carrie Bennett:

frequency antenna. And I'm talking like this is

Carrie Bennett:

not woo woo stuff. There's literally patents out

Carrie Bennett:

there, right, for these types of things, right?

Carrie Bennett:

So liquid crystalline based technologies are a

Carrie Bennett:

thing where we can literally have, have very

Carrie Bennett:

tunable programmable antenna because of what

Carrie Bennett:

liquid crystals can do. They're these antenna,

Carrie Bennett:

they're data storage. So again, we've got these,

Carrie Bennett:

this holographic. Again, patents holographic

Carrie Bennett:

optical data storage based on liquid crystalline

Carrie Bennett:

technology. We are these liquid crystalline data

Carrie Bennett:

storage. Does my brain have the memories? No.

Carrie Bennett:

Right. Like the memories are in the field and we

Carrie Bennett:

can retrieve them because we're these antenna, we

Carrie Bennett:

can process them through our liquid crystalline

Carrie Bennett:

water. That's my, that's my take in my theory

Carrie Bennett:

anyways, which leads us to. Then what. What is

Carrie Bennett:

this field around us? Right? Well, it certainly,

Carrie Bennett:

it contains, it contains light, but that's a less

Carrie Bennett:

than 1% of all the energy around us. And you

Carrie Bennett:

know, we can, we, we already have a podcast on

Carrie Bennett:

the Ether. But debunking the ether made it very

Carrie Bennett:

easy for physics equations and, or for math

Carrie Bennett:

essentially to model mathematical models of the

Carrie Bennett:

universe. And. But it goes against what every

Carrie Bennett:

ancient civilization ever talked about was that

Carrie Bennett:

there's this field around us that both surrounds

Carrie Bennett:

us and permeates us that is literally a source of

Carrie Bennett:

energy and contains all the information that ever

Carrie Bennett:

was and potentially frankly, ever will be. Right?

Carrie Bennett:

And so all the potential. And now that is why I

Carrie Bennett:

was like, okay, so light informs our body. This

Carrie Bennett:

water has special properties. And we have a

Carrie Bennett:

direct connection from this water to that, to

Carrie Bennett:

this ether that is a source of energy and

Carrie Bennett:

information. So energy and information from

Carrie Bennett:

light, energy and information from the ether,

Carrie Bennett:

water as this beautiful receiver. And we're water

Carrie Bennett:

beings for a reason. And so that's like my

Carrie Bennett:

general summary of where I am now with my

Carrie Bennett:

understanding.

Meredith Oke:

Oh my God. Okay, this is, this is really amazing

Meredith Oke:

because it, it just, it feels so true, right?

Meredith Oke:

Like, you know, we, I think a lot of us walk

Meredith Oke:

around with these little pockets of like, I don't

Meredith Oke:

know, emptiness or like, okay, but like a gap.

Meredith Oke:

And it's because I feel like we've been cut off

Meredith Oke:

from like a cosmological understanding of

Meredith Oke:

ourselves in the universe. They've taken

Meredith Oke:

mythology away. You know, we don't study myth

Meredith Oke:

anymore. We don't study astrology. You know, all

Meredith Oke:

of the astrology, you know, all of the ancient

Meredith Oke:

civilizations you referenced all had stories of

Meredith Oke:

creation whether you took them literally or not.

Meredith Oke:

But it, it fed our souls in a way that we and we

Meredith Oke:

no longer have that sustenance through those

Meredith Oke:

stories. And I think we've tried to replace it

Meredith Oke:

with science and the science that we have isn't

Meredith Oke:

filling that gap. But this model feels so

Meredith Oke:

different. Okay, so the light keeps our body in

Meredith Oke:

time. We know when to digest. We know when to

Meredith Oke:

sleep. We know when to repair. We know when to

Meredith Oke:

have energy. We know when to chill out. It also

Meredith Oke:

charges up our bodies because we are in fact

Meredith Oke:

liquid crystals in the water inside of us could

Meredith Oke:

be described as a liquid crystal. And then. Okay,

Meredith Oke:

I want to get into this part a little more. So

Meredith Oke:

then the liquid crystal is communicating with the

Meredith Oke:

light, which we really, you know, that's the

Meredith Oke:

charge and the circadian rhythm and all of that.

Meredith Oke:

And the ether?

Carrie Bennett:

Yeah, all of it. All, all frequencies.

Meredith Oke:

And so how so is the light. Is the ether a

Meredith Oke:

conduit for the light or is the ether? It's how

Meredith Oke:

so?

Carrie Bennett:

I mean, people, people would, I think sometimes

Carrie Bennett:

want to say that light moves through the ether,

Carrie Bennett:

but essentially light is just creating a

Carrie Bennett:

disturbance in the ether. So you got, we gotta

Carrie Bennett:

view the ethereum from. It's that the other thing

Carrie Bennett:

that, that kind of is why I really like talking

Carrie Bennett:

about the ether in conjunction with water is that

Carrie Bennett:

I think they're fractals of each other. Because

Carrie Bennett:

the ether has been described by, before it was

Carrie Bennett:

debunked, right? It was described as like this

Carrie Bennett:

luminiferous super fluid and so this fluid based

Carrie Bennett:

system. And so we're like, wait, this is fluid?

Carrie Bennett:

Like, how is this fluid? Well, and like the silly

Carrie Bennett:

analogy is the obvious one is like, well, how

Carrie Bennett:

does the fish know that it's swimming in water?

Carrie Bennett:

Right? Just. It's always been like that. And so

Carrie Bennett:

now modern physics is catching up to the fact

Carrie Bennett:

that we do that. It has superfluid properties to

Carrie Bennett:

it. And so if, if I, if I am water, I am in

Carrie Bennett:

resonance. If I am a fluid based system, I'm in

Carrie Bennett:

resonance with other fluids. It's like the tuning

Carrie Bennett:

fork effect, right? Like this tuning fork is

Carrie Bennett:

going to be in resonance with a tuning fork that

Carrie Bennett:

looks exactly like it and, and is the exact same

Carrie Bennett:

shape because they've got what's called geometric

Carrie Bennett:

resonance or, or shape resonance. We have a

Carrie Bennett:

resonance and an innate capability that we've

Carrie Bennett:

never been taught to, quote, unquote, tap into

Carrie Bennett:

the ether or connect more deeply into all of the

Carrie Bennett:

energy and information that's part of the ether.

Carrie Bennett:

But it's, it's not part of our. We don't, we're

Carrie Bennett:

not part of these wisdom teachings anymore,

Carrie Bennett:

right? We're not getting this, this information

Carrie Bennett:

passed down from generation to generation. But

Carrie Bennett:

there's so many inherent aspects of us being

Carrie Bennett:

water beings. Yes, we're liquid crystalline, so

Carrie Bennett:

we are antenna. Yes, we're liquid crystalline, so

Carrie Bennett:

we can actually process, transmit, take, take in

Carrie Bennett:

data and you know, change it to make, to, to fit

Carrie Bennett:

whatever the energy system needs in the body,

Carrie Bennett:

whatever information the body needs. So that

Carrie Bennett:

liquid crystalline property is key. But we're

Carrie Bennett:

also simply a fractal of water. But then what are

Carrie Bennett:

a fractal of the ether. But what is the ether?

Carrie Bennett:

That's, I mean, we can call this, call the ether

Carrie Bennett:

God. Right? We're a spark of the divine. Like we

Carrie Bennett:

are divine in our inherent creation. And it's

Carrie Bennett:

just now it's, it's like, it's like understanding

Carrie Bennett:

of, of, you know, religion and faith from a

Carrie Bennett:

child, it was kind of like. Yeah, yeah, I get it,

Carrie Bennett:

I get. But it's like, no. Now I had to go into

Carrie Bennett:

science to reject mainstream science to go into

Carrie Bennett:

this more kind of alternative type of science to

Carrie Bennett:

just go back to, to faith again, into the divine

Carrie Bennett:

right and to understand that that's also an

Carrie Bennett:

inherent part of who we are because we are a

Carrie Bennett:

fractal of the ether. We are a fractal God and

Carrie Bennett:

we're. And that then leads to this whole other, I

Carrie Bennett:

think, scary concept that people, maybe there are

Carrie Bennett:

nefarious entities that don't want us to believe,

Carrie Bennett:

to believe this and, or it's just maybe

Carrie Bennett:

considered too woo. But then that brings up

Carrie Bennett:

concepts such as like telepathy, remote viewing,

Carrie Bennett:

sitting in stillness and receiving an answer,

Carrie Bennett:

asking for an answer and receiving an answer.

Carrie Bennett:

Because that's, that's our direct connection. We

Carrie Bennett:

are that closely connected to, to God that we

Carrie Bennett:

can, we can cultivate these. It's just a lot of

Carrie Bennett:

people would call these like, you know, psychic

Carrie Bennett:

capabilities or you have to be spiritually

Carrie Bennett:

gifted. It's like, no, these are built into all

Carrie Bennett:

of us because of this, from my understanding,

Carrie Bennett:

because of this blueprint, because of this

Carrie Bennett:

fractal relationship. It's just we're never,

Carrie Bennett:

we're never taught about it. We're never

Carrie Bennett:

encouraged to explore it.

Meredith Oke:

Yeah, that's true. And even when we are taught

Meredith Oke:

meditation, it's often not in that way. It's just

Meredith Oke:

about calming the mind and breathing and calming

Meredith Oke:

down. But you have to go, you have to search

Meredith Oke:

pretty hard to find. I mean, maybe not for our

Meredith Oke:

audience, but the type of meditation that does

Meredith Oke:

encourage you to connect to those answers. And I

Meredith Oke:

guess for some people that's prayer. You know, I

Meredith Oke:

was I was taught that prayer is talking and

Meredith Oke:

meditation is receiving. So.

Carrie Bennett:

Yeah, so that's really one of the practical

Carrie Bennett:

applications of all of this esoteric stuff, right?

Meredith Oke:

Yeah, well, and it's, it's, yeah, because there

Meredith Oke:

are so many and I think like it all comes

Meredith Oke:

together, right, because part of the reason that

Meredith Oke:

we're cut off from that receptivity is as we're

Meredith Oke:

physically cut off by our modern life, which is

Meredith Oke:

cutting, you know, with our bad light environment

Meredith Oke:

and bad EMF environments and bad toxic food and

Meredith Oke:

all of these things, you know, when you look at

Meredith Oke:

it through this model would be clogging the

Meredith Oke:

receptors for us to connect to the, to the ether.

Meredith Oke:

And then you layer on top of that resentments and

Meredith Oke:

fear and you know, tribal based conflict that's

Meredith Oke:

manipulated through the media. And like you add.

Meredith Oke:

And it's like, of course it seems what we're

Meredith Oke:

talking about might seem totally impossible.

Carrie Bennett:

Yeah, yeah, it's very true. There's a lot about

Carrie Bennett:

modern living that disconnects us from this. I

Carrie Bennett:

mean this understanding is not even in, it's not

Carrie Bennett:

even taught obviously in, in schools. But there's

Carrie Bennett:

a lot that, about our modern living that just

Carrie Bennett:

disconnect us from nature. And when we disconnect

Carrie Bennett:

from nature, I think it really impairs our

Carrie Bennett:

ability to like receive more strongly even, even

Carrie Bennett:

something like intuition. That one of the coolest

Carrie Bennett:

things that I see when people return to

Carrie Bennett:

understanding how to get the light signals to

Carrie Bennett:

signal energy and information to their body, how

Carrie Bennett:

to earth and ground and go outside and be in the

Carrie Bennett:

shade of the trees, because we'll teach them that

Carrie Bennett:

there's near infrared that gets reflected off of

Carrie Bennett:

the greenery and helps their mitochondria make

Carrie Bennett:

melatonin. Like we, it's like we teach like the

Carrie Bennett:

science of connecting back to nature. But what's

Carrie Bennett:

not taught, but what inherent like inherently

Carrie Bennett:

awakens in people is this intuitive, more right

Carrie Bennett:

brained aspect of, of what I think we're really

Carrie Bennett:

lacking these days. I think science, you know,

Carrie Bennett:

that very left brain teaching disconnected us

Carrie Bennett:

from the capability to tap into intuition at a

Carrie Bennett:

stronger level. And so the coolest thing I hear

Carrie Bennett:

from people is I'm not outsourcing my body's

Carrie Bennett:

needs anymore. I'm not outsourcing it to an app

Carrie Bennett:

or to a clinician or the latest guru or the

Carrie Bennett:

protocol or whatever it is. I can now literally

Carrie Bennett:

because of strengthening that connection to

Carrie Bennett:

nature and having that more right, I think, I

Carrie Bennett:

think more right brain, you know, capabilities,

Carrie Bennett:

they're all the answers come to them. It's like

Carrie Bennett:

they intuitively will reach for a supplement that

Carrie Bennett:

they may not have taken in, you know, like in a

Carrie Bennett:

year, right. This cell salt. And it's like, oh,

Carrie Bennett:

all of a sudden my body's asking for this cell

Carrie Bennett:

salt. Or they'll say, I don't. It's like, what

Carrie Bennett:

diet? It's like, it's, oh, it's not a specific

Carrie Bennett:

diet. They know how to nourish themselves. They

Carrie Bennett:

know what their body is asking for. They

Carrie Bennett:

inherently know how much light their body needs

Carrie Bennett:

or does. It's like, it's just a really cool

Carrie Bennett:

thing. It's like, I love it as a clinician. Like,

Carrie Bennett:

you know, yes. Am I trying to, am I do I want a

Carrie Bennett:

robust community because I love engaging with

Carrie Bennett:

people and certainly I make a living doing this

Carrie Bennett:

and teaching this and having people pay for, you

Carrie Bennett:

know, me, me being in community with them. But if

Carrie Bennett:

you're good on your own, I am thrilled. That's

Carrie Bennett:

the goal of it all, is to get people to the point

Carrie Bennett:

where, where they can cut through all the BS that

Carrie Bennett:

we're be that it's projected into us from media,

Carrie Bennett:

from conditioning, from societal quote, unquote

Carrie Bennett:

norms, so that they can actually, I think, tap

Carrie Bennett:

into this greater information so that they can

Carrie Bennett:

just do what is best for their bodies, for their

Carrie Bennett:

families, without outsourcing it to someone else.

Meredith Oke:

I love that. I, I, I think that's absolutely the

Meredith Oke:

path. It is. And so many, you know, practitioners

Meredith Oke:

and coaches and clinicians that we interact with,

Meredith Oke:

I think see it that way. It's like, you know,

Meredith Oke:

there's, there's different phases. You need,

Meredith Oke:

like, very clear, strong guidance in the

Meredith Oke:

beginning, but over time, yes. The goal is to

Meredith Oke:

connect with yourself and with the environment,

Meredith Oke:

which is the ether, so that you can interpret the

Meredith Oke:

signals from your body yourself.

Carrie Bennett:

Exactly.

Meredith Oke:

Yeah. I mean, why not?

Carrie Bennett:

Exactly.

Meredith Oke:

So, okay, you mentioned something before I turned

Meredith Oke:

the recording on, which I totally agree with,

Meredith Oke:

which is that we will all be called to be our

Meredith Oke:

best selves over the coming year. There's, we're

Meredith Oke:

just at a moment in history, I think, you know,

Meredith Oke:

day to day history, but also cycles of cosmology.

Meredith Oke:

Like, there's, there's, there's things happening

Meredith Oke:

at every level and we are alive for it. So let's

Meredith Oke:

get into the practical sort of applications of

Meredith Oke:

all of this, because for those people listening

Meredith Oke:

to a podcast like this, and I'm sure you listen

Meredith Oke:

to lots of other ones as well, like, we're all

Meredith Oke:

here doing this for a reason. Like, we need to,

Meredith Oke:

we need to tap into this vibe, so to speak,

Meredith Oke:

because we're gonna need it.

Carrie Bennett:

Yeah, there's a lot. And it can be fun.

Meredith Oke:

I'm not trying to be scary here.

Carrie Bennett:

Like, it can all be good, but we are gonna be

Carrie Bennett:

okay. Like, like civilization as we. Right? No,

Carrie Bennett:

no, this is not. This is not that vibe. In terms

Carrie Bennett:

of, like, let's just call it out, right? In terms

Carrie Bennett:

of the greater cycles, there are cycles that are

Carrie Bennett:

25,900 years in length. Right, right. And these

Carrie Bennett:

grander cycles are periods. It's like an ellipse.

Carrie Bennett:

There's periods where humanity comes into a

Carrie Bennett:

greater awakening and they go into that. A

Carrie Bennett:

greater period of darkness and kind of

Carrie Bennett:

forgetting. And we are. If you're looking at it

Carrie Bennett:

from that cycle, we're like in this beautiful

Carrie Bennett:

period of awakening and awakening beyond what,

Carrie Bennett:

where we were before, where. Where there is an

Carrie Bennett:

energetic input that is helping us, I think, to

Carrie Bennett:

remember more than we ever did after coming out

Carrie Bennett:

of a period of. Of forgetting. And, you know, it

Carrie Bennett:

might sound weird and might sound stupid, but

Carrie Bennett:

look into it, right? Look into these. These

Carrie Bennett:

cycles that, again, ancient civilizations knew

Carrie Bennett:

about, right? They knew about these cycles. They

Carrie Bennett:

are literally depicted on. On walls that are, you

Carrie Bennett:

know, 10,000 years old. That these are people,

Carrie Bennett:

are people who are aware of these things. It's

Carrie Bennett:

just we're finally now, I think our forgetting is

Carrie Bennett:

lessening. I think we're all here to help

Carrie Bennett:

ourselves remember and help other people

Carrie Bennett:

remember. And the energetic input is such that we

Carrie Bennett:

are more capable than ever to utilize the

Carrie Bennett:

shifting energies for our benefit. But with

Carrie Bennett:

shifting energies, with more intense energy. This

Carrie Bennett:

is also yin and yang, right? With more intense

Carrie Bennett:

energy comes the potential for more intense

Carrie Bennett:

chaos. And so how can we make sure we steady

Carrie Bennett:

ourselves in the chaos in order to really fulfill

Carrie Bennett:

what we came here to do?

Meredith Oke:

Beautiful. Beautiful. That's exactly how I've

Meredith Oke:

been thinking about it. I was just talking about

Meredith Oke:

even the framework of quantum biology as a

Meredith Oke:

stabilizing framework, right? Like, it's. It's.

Meredith Oke:

You don't want to grab it too tightly. On the

Meredith Oke:

other hand, it does act as a structure to hold a

Meredith Oke:

lot of new information and help us make sense of

Meredith Oke:

that. Make sense of it. So our consciousness

Meredith Oke:

isn't free, fractured by, like, what? You know,

Meredith Oke:

I've been reading a lot of hardcore scientists

Meredith Oke:

who. Who went down the rabbit hole and had a

Meredith Oke:

serious dark night of the soul because it called

Meredith Oke:

into question their entire identity as a person.

Meredith Oke:

And, you know, I think if we can familiarize

Meredith Oke:

ourselves with some of these frameworks that type

Meredith Oke:

the. That the darkness of that night can be a

Meredith Oke:

little alleviated. And also we can feel Better.

Meredith Oke:

So we have the energy. So let's, let's talk about

Meredith Oke:

all of this in terms of. Let's just start with

Meredith Oke:

the idea of aging, you know, and, you know, most

Meredith Oke:

people, you know, things start to happen and they

Meredith Oke:

go to the doctor and they're like, yeah, you're

Meredith Oke:

getting older. That's just it.

Carrie Bennett:

Yeah.

Meredith Oke:

So what's like, let's reframe that.

Carrie Bennett:

Yeah, sure. So, I mean, there's multiple things

Carrie Bennett:

that have been studied in relationship to aging.

Carrie Bennett:

Right. So like, we've, they've looked at telomere

Carrie Bennett:

length, which is, you know, the ends of our DNA.

Carrie Bennett:

And when we're supposedly, when we're young,

Carrie Bennett:

they're longer and then those telomeres shorten,

Carrie Bennett:

shorten, shorten, and that leads to, you know,

Carrie Bennett:

changes in the DNA that can ultimately. So

Carrie Bennett:

there's a genetic basis basically for aging.

Carrie Bennett:

There is a, what's, what's called a senescent

Carrie Bennett:

basin basis for aging. Meaning we get these cells

Carrie Bennett:

that are damaged but can't clear themselves from

Carrie Bennett:

a tissue and they stay in this tissue and they

Carrie Bennett:

just secrete inflammatory signaling and really

Carrie Bennett:

lessen the functioning of a tissue. And you get

Carrie Bennett:

enough of these. And again, there's that. That's

Carrie Bennett:

going to lead to what we, the quote unquote,

Carrie Bennett:

diseases of aging. You also have a more

Carrie Bennett:

mitochondrial based approach to it, meaning if

Carrie Bennett:

the mitochondria are living inside of these cells

Carrie Bennett:

and these organs and they're not able to

Carrie Bennett:

adequately both provide enough energy for that

Carrie Bennett:

tissue to function optimally, and they're also

Carrie Bennett:

then not able to clear up at the metabolic damage

Carrie Bennett:

that's occurring naturally throughout the day,

Carrie Bennett:

but also in conjunction with other insults to the

Carrie Bennett:

body, toxins, electromagnetic radiation, things

Carrie Bennett:

like that, that will over time lead to aging as

Carrie Bennett:

well. And there's one final one I'll tell then

Carrie Bennett:

I'll tell you which ones I really resonate most

Carrie Bennett:

with. But there's one final one as well. And

Carrie Bennett:

again, we're talking a little esoteric here,

Carrie Bennett:

Meredith, so we're going to go with the concept

Carrie Bennett:

of there is truly energy that we do derive from

Carrie Bennett:

the ether. There is a life force, vitality. It's,

Carrie Bennett:

you know, chi, prana ki, you know, you, you name

Carrie Bennett:

it, it's vital force. Right? It's been called

Carrie Bennett:

different names, but we actually can tap directly

Carrie Bennett:

into it. And, but that is tapped into more

Carrie Bennett:

through things like how we're breathing. It's

Carrie Bennett:

tapped into through how we think and conduct our

Carrie Bennett:

lives. And that's also, if you're taking a modern

Carrie Bennett:

spin on it, look into the work of Dan Winter

Carrie Bennett:

about literally, we are always designed to

Carrie Bennett:

implode this into our bot, into our physical

Carrie Bennett:

bodies and then distribute it and implode and

Carrie Bennett:

dist. But in order to do so effectively, so that

Carrie Bennett:

we are quote unquote more negentropic or more

Carrie Bennett:

syntropic or more self organizing as opposed to

Carrie Bennett:

chaos inducing or chaos creation. So I would say

Carrie Bennett:

aging here could be my body is in more chaos than

Carrie Bennett:

I can reorganize back. And that life force, that

Carrie Bennett:

toroidal field of energy that surrounds us in our

Carrie Bennett:

biofield that's full of this life force energy,

Carrie Bennett:

we can actually help to organize the implosion of

Carrie Bennett:

that life force into us in a more organized way.

Carrie Bennett:

Or we can't, we won't. And that's actually done

Carrie Bennett:

through more of a David Hawkins scale of

Carrie Bennett:

consciousness, meaning that we are living our

Carrie Bennett:

lives not in shame, fear, guilt, anger, hatred,

Carrie Bennett:

apathy, but instead we are trying to have a

Carrie Bennett:

fundamental state of peace, of joy, of bliss and

Carrie Bennett:

of authenticity. Those are the top ones. And so

Carrie Bennett:

it's not like love you, I love you no matter

Carrie Bennett:

what, even though you hurt me. It's like we can

Carrie Bennett:

still emote, we can still be authentic, but it's

Carrie Bennett:

what is my baseline state that I return to. And

Carrie Bennett:

we, we want it to be peacefully authentic

Carrie Bennett:

basically. And that is also how we can implode

Carrie Bennett:

more life force energy. So we're self organizing.

Carrie Bennett:

So those are the, those are the people who are,

Carrie Bennett:

you know, have cultivated some sort of, usually

Carrie Bennett:

they've cultivated some practice of meditation or

Carrie Bennett:

breath work or for example, meta like loving

Carrie Bennett:

kindness meditation. They've cultivated some

Carrie Bennett:

practice where they're 85 years old, but they

Carrie Bennett:

look like they're 60, right? And it's because

Carrie Bennett:

they can literally sustain self organization

Carrie Bennett:

through this coherent energy in their biofield,

Carrie Bennett:

coming into their bodies and being life force for

Carrie Bennett:

their bodies. Or it's those people who live

Carrie Bennett:

angry. They're, they're, they're, you know, in

Carrie Bennett:

their 50s, they're angry, they're grumpy,

Carrie Bennett:

they're, you know, just. Or they drive a lot of

Carrie Bennett:

fear. And they look like they're in their 80s,

Carrie Bennett:

right? I mean there's you. We've all had been

Carrie Bennett:

across people like that in our lives and I think

Carrie Bennett:

it's a very interesting thing. And there's

Carrie Bennett:

actually, if you look back into ancient texts,

Carrie Bennett:

they'll talk about people living till 200 years

Carrie Bennett:

or older have still full of vitality. I think

Carrie Bennett:

it's because they cultivate number one, they

Carrie Bennett:

don't have the same exposures that we have in

Carrie Bennett:

terms of our modern living. But at the same time,

Carrie Bennett:

I think they cultivated the practice of knowing

Carrie Bennett:

how to take that energy from. From the ether,

Carrie Bennett:

that life force, and harness it for their body's

Carrie Bennett:

self organization as opposed to chaos.

Meredith Oke:

That makes total sense to me.

Carrie Bennett:

Good. Because sometimes I don't know, Marian,

Carrie Bennett:

Sometimes I don't know. But then from the quantum

Carrie Bennett:

biology perspective of this, it's like I really,

Carrie Bennett:

truly think our mitochondria, and also the status

Carrie Bennett:

of the water, because mitochondria make water.

Carrie Bennett:

That's their version of making energy for us. So

Carrie Bennett:

if we can allow them to make water appropriately

Carrie Bennett:

and maintain that water battery inside of us. And

Carrie Bennett:

the mitochondria also make melatonin in our

Carrie Bennett:

cells, which clears up damage. If we can help the

Carrie Bennett:

mitochondria through the lens of quantum biology,

Carrie Bennett:

maintain healthy water production and healthy

Carrie Bennett:

melatonin production, I think that goes a long

Carrie Bennett:

way towards preventing excessive aging. Right.

Carrie Bennett:

And also at the same time, the practices that we

Carrie Bennett:

teach in quantum biology are the ones that like

Carrie Bennett:

you said, I think they help to bring order to the

Carrie Bennett:

chaos. They give us a framework through which we

Carrie Bennett:

can then get into nature and understand the why

Carrie Bennett:

behind why. It's like I needed a reason to go

Carrie Bennett:

outside. I needed a reason to touch the earth. I

Carrie Bennett:

needed a reason to go into the forest. And so

Carrie Bennett:

that, that quantum biology framework I think is

Carrie Bennett:

huge. When it gave me the reason, the why, and as

Carrie Bennett:

I. As I started to do it because I really

Carrie Bennett:

believed in the why, then all these other

Carrie Bennett:

beautiful changes occurred as well.

Meredith Oke:

Yes. And it all, it all connects back, back

Meredith Oke:

together. I think sometimes people hear we get

Meredith Oke:

focused on a certain type of information that we

Meredith Oke:

need to learn. Light, what I should be eating.

Meredith Oke:

And then we just. The way our minds work, we put

Meredith Oke:

little blinders on and make it all about that.

Meredith Oke:

And then we come out and realize, oh no,

Meredith Oke:

everything else matters too. This is. I was just

Meredith Oke:

needed to focus on this in order to integrate

Meredith Oke:

this piece. So I love that your, your description

Meredith Oke:

there because it really is, it's, it's holistic,

Meredith Oke:

it's the whole piece. I mean, I was just

Meredith Oke:

realizing recently that like I was like sort of

Meredith Oke:

not over invested but deeply invested in, you

Meredith Oke:

know, like the cognitive piece and the spiritual

Meredith Oke:

piece and like totally mostly ignoring my

Meredith Oke:

biology. And it's like. So I wasn't cultivating

Meredith Oke:

the, like the capacity that I needed to hold all

Meredith Oke:

this energy. And I realizing now that was a big

Meredith Oke:

part of the chronic fatigue. So we just keep

Meredith Oke:

circling to all of the, all of the things that,

Meredith Oke:

that we need. And I'M thinking too because you,

Meredith Oke:

you, you know, we're mentioning how what we would

Meredith Oke:

term psychic and how somebody needs to have

Meredith Oke:

special psychic abilities. But maybe that's our

Meredith Oke:

natural state. And maybe. And then drawing the

Meredith Oke:

line over to aging, it's like maybe those

Meredith Oke:

outliers who live 100 over to be over 100, maybe

Meredith Oke:

they're the natural state and we're the ones. And

Meredith Oke:

dying in your 80s is actually unnatural. Like,

Meredith Oke:

who knows?

Carrie Bennett:

Yeah. No, I love that take on it. I think that

Carrie Bennett:

you're spot on. I think we equate normal or

Carrie Bennett:

what's typical, what we call normal or typical

Carrie Bennett:

with what's natural, what the way it is. Right.

Carrie Bennett:

And I just think that we, I don't think we've

Carrie Bennett:

been empowered enough to actually explore. It's

Carrie Bennett:

the, the, it's the concept also of like the four

Carrie Bennett:

minute mile. Right. That example where it's like

Carrie Bennett:

you're no one's ever going to run a sub 4 minute

Carrie Bennett:

mile. No one's going to ever run a sub 4 minute

Carrie Bennett:

mile. Then a sub 4 minute mile is run and then

Carrie Bennett:

you've got dozens of people in the next year and

Carrie Bennett:

then the next year, like everyone now knows, oh,

Carrie Bennett:

I can run a sub 4 minute mile if I train hard

Carrie Bennett:

enough. Right. Or if I have that type of talent

Carrie Bennett:

in me. And so it's like we just are not, we're

Carrie Bennett:

not given the opportunity to think, oh, you know,

Carrie Bennett:

I can like it's normal to live to 150 and not

Carrie Bennett:

that, like, not that age. And I don't want people

Carrie Bennett:

to think like aging's not bad. Right. Like, I

Carrie Bennett:

don't, I don't want to be 20 again.

Meredith Oke:

God knows.

Carrie Bennett:

But, but that being said, but I also think that

Carrie Bennett:

we are, we're not even given the tip of the

Carrie Bennett:

iceberg when it comes to our potential. Potential

Carrie Bennett:

as humans.

Meredith Oke:

Yes. No, I, it's funny, use that word, potential.

Meredith Oke:

Yeah, I came to that just last week. I'm like,

Meredith Oke:

that's really what all of this is for is to like

Meredith Oke:

raise the ceiling on what, what we think that is.

Carrie Bennett:

Yeah.

Meredith Oke:

Okay. So we looked at aging. Let's look at, let's

Meredith Oke:

sort of go back in time to you know, hormones in

Meredith Oke:

midlife and, and the fertility years. How does,

Meredith Oke:

how does all of this play into our, our hormones?

Carrie Bennett:

Yeah. I think a huge part of hormone imbalance

Carrie Bennett:

these days. Absolutely. Is, is the light

Carrie Bennett:

environment. Now don't get me wrong, I understand

Carrie Bennett:

there's endocrine disruptors. Right. So I'm not

Carrie Bennett:

going to tell you that you can get Your light

Carrie Bennett:

environment optimized. And then also wear a bunch

Carrie Bennett:

of body lotion, like you know, artificial body

Carrie Bennett:

lotions or you know, you get it right, you get

Carrie Bennett:

the concept. And so I think like you said, it's

Carrie Bennett:

all the things. But how does light play into

Carrie Bennett:

this? Light is a signal, it's an information

Carrie Bennett:

signal about essentially when we're supposed to

Carrie Bennett:

produce hormones throughout the course of 24

Carrie Bennett:

hours. And if we've got the correct light

Carrie Bennett:

signaling, we will surge sex hormones at the

Carrie Bennett:

right time to optimize our energy and our

Carrie Bennett:

fertility and just hormone imbalance in general.

Carrie Bennett:

If we're not in those hormonal years anymore or

Carrie Bennett:

those fertility years anymore. And when we have

Carrie Bennett:

incorrect light signaling, we get incorrect

Carrie Bennett:

hormone surges that now will lead to things like

Carrie Bennett:

estrogen dominance. It can lead to an increased

Carrie Bennett:

risk for things like estrogen or all types of

Carrie Bennett:

hormone sensitive cancers, frankly. But we see an

Carrie Bennett:

increase in things like breast cancer, ovarian

Carrie Bennett:

cancer, uterine cancer, prostate cancer. And so

Carrie Bennett:

the light pieces I think is fundamental. And what

Carrie Bennett:

I love to see is that as people do this, these

Carrie Bennett:

light practices, one, one of the, it can take a

Carrie Bennett:

while, like it can take literally 10 months for

Carrie Bennett:

this to happen. But people will start to say, oh,

Carrie Bennett:

I'm back to a 28 day cycle. I'm ovulating on a

Carrie Bennett:

full moon. I am, you know, having my, my bleed

Carrie Bennett:

menstrual cycle on, on the new moon. And like

Carrie Bennett:

that's a very, that like again, we're designed to

Carrie Bennett:

be in touch with those signatures of energy, the

Carrie Bennett:

light, the lunar cycles. And as we engage more

Carrie Bennett:

with, with healthy life practices, we not only

Carrie Bennett:

get the correct daily release of our hormones and

Carrie Bennett:

production of our hormones, but we get the

Carrie Bennett:

correct monthly release, if you will. And then

Carrie Bennett:

from a circannual perspective as well, we'll get

Carrie Bennett:

all of that balanced out. And so light, I think

Carrie Bennett:

is fundamental to the hormone story. And we can

Carrie Bennett:

go into the exact details of what and why and

Carrie Bennett:

how. For example, over a 24 hour clock that is,

Carrie Bennett:

that happens and what we're doing in modern life

Carrie Bennett:

to derange it. But light I think for the hormone

Carrie Bennett:

is hormone balance is fundamental.

Meredith Oke:

Okay, so yeah, just give us a quick picture of

Meredith Oke:

that 24 hour clock then.

Carrie Bennett:

So yeah, so we're designed at sunrise. At sunrise

Carrie Bennett:

there's the correct light signaling in terms of

Carrie Bennett:

the amount of blue and red and the brightness for

Carrie Bennett:

our brain to say day has started, let's surge our

Carrie Bennett:

energizing hormone. And that's called cortisol.

Carrie Bennett:

But cortisol is one of a whole group of sex

Carrie Bennett:

hormones. So cortisol is a sex hormone, also

Carrie Bennett:

called a steroid hormone, that starts with a

Carrie Bennett:

hormone at the top of it. Well, it starts with

Carrie Bennett:

cholesterol. Cholesterol is the backbone of all

Carrie Bennett:

of our sex hormones. But when cholesterol, when

Carrie Bennett:

the body perceives that the day has started, then

Carrie Bennett:

the mitochondria in our adrenal glands and in our

Carrie Bennett:

reproductive organs, they start to make the very

Carrie Bennett:

top sex hormone called pregnenolone. And then

Carrie Bennett:

that pregnenolone gets divvied up into all of the

Carrie Bennett:

hormones that we would call sex, that we

Carrie Bennett:

typically call sex hormones like estrogen,

Carrie Bennett:

progesterone, dhea, testosterone. And it also

Carrie Bennett:

becomes cortisol, because we need a healthy surge

Carrie Bennett:

of cortisol in the morning that to go into the

Carrie Bennett:

blood, because that is what I call the chemical

Carrie Bennett:

resonance signature of daytime. Right. It surges

Carrie Bennett:

into the blood. Cortisol vibrates at a certain

Carrie Bennett:

resonance. Certainly it may dock into receptor

Carrie Bennett:

sites as well. And the body knows that the day

Carrie Bennett:

has started. And based on the amount of cortisol,

Carrie Bennett:

it's like, it's a way that we track daytime, the

Carrie Bennett:

morning, if you will, and then the cortisol will

Carrie Bennett:

start to level off and drop. And so that we're

Carrie Bennett:

not going to have it elevated in the evening, but

Carrie Bennett:

when cortisol surges in the morning, it's going

Carrie Bennett:

to surge number one. We need that stimulus of

Carrie Bennett:

sunrise light, that morning light signal, in

Carrie Bennett:

order to have that pregnenolone, enough

Carrie Bennett:

pregnenolone in the first place, to become

Carrie Bennett:

adequate cortisol. That put steroid hormones. A

Carrie Bennett:

lot of people aren't getting that. I wasn't

Carrie Bennett:

right. I had flatlined hormones, low energy, low

Carrie Bennett:

libido, you know, cycle imbalances, you know, you

Carrie Bennett:

name it. And so when I started to get that

Carrie Bennett:

morning light, one of the first things that came

Carrie Bennett:

on was my energy because my body was naturally

Carrie Bennett:

making that cortisol. What I also recognized that

Carrie Bennett:

my body needed, besides just getting that signal

Carrie Bennett:

that the day has started, was I had to give my

Carrie Bennett:

body safety signals. So earthing and grounding is

Carrie Bennett:

a safety signal because I'm connecting to the.

Carrie Bennett:

The Schumann resonance, for example. I'm

Carrie Bennett:

geolocating my body on the planet. And then I

Carrie Bennett:

gave myself breakfast and those safety signals.

Carrie Bennett:

My body was able to say, okay, day has started,

Carrie Bennett:

so we're going to make cortisol. But we also know

Carrie Bennett:

that Carrie is not in a threatened state, so we

Carrie Bennett:

don't have to overproduce cortisol, because if we

Carrie Bennett:

overproduce cortisol, it's at the expense of the

Carrie Bennett:

other sex hormones. And so we're going to produce

Carrie Bennett:

a circadian appropriate surge of cortisol. And

Carrie Bennett:

then we get to take the rest of the pregnenolone

Carrie Bennett:

and divvy it up into all of the other hormones of

Carrie Bennett:

fertility to optimize where Carrie's at in her

Carrie Bennett:

menstrual cycle or her monthly cycle. So, so

Carrie Bennett:

that's what starts to happen. If we use that

Carrie Bennett:

morning light signature and we give the safety

Carrie Bennett:

signals to the body, if we. Conversely, what was

Carrie Bennett:

happening at night as well, what happened for

Carrie Bennett:

people, because people can have low hormones

Carrie Bennett:

during the day, they can get a second wind at

Carrie Bennett:

night and also have symptoms of estrogen

Carrie Bennett:

dominance. And it's all related to misinformed

Carrie Bennett:

light signaling, essentially the wrong light

Carrie Bennett:

signaling into their bodies. Because I wasn't

Carrie Bennett:

getting that morning light, but I was definitely

Carrie Bennett:

getting plenty of artificial light at night. And

Carrie Bennett:

when we get that artificial light at night, the

Carrie Bennett:

brain says, oh, has the day started again? Like,

Carrie Bennett:

is it the middle of the afternoon? When, when,

Carrie Bennett:

what time of day is it? I thought the day was

Carrie Bennett:

long enough that we should be going to bed. So

Carrie Bennett:

melatonin gets suppressed, cortisol surges again,

Carrie Bennett:

but cortisol doesn't surge by itself. When you

Carrie Bennett:

get that surge of cortisol, you get a secondary

Carrie Bennett:

surge at the wrong time of day with all of the

Carrie Bennett:

other steroid hormones. And over time, with the

Carrie Bennett:

suppression of melatonin, that will predispose

Carrie Bennett:

people to hormone imbalance and also these

Carrie Bennett:

hormone sensitive cancers that we see as well. So

Carrie Bennett:

it's a light story. A ton. A huge piece of it is

Carrie Bennett:

a light story when it comes to getting the

Carrie Bennett:

correct signaling of hormones, raising when

Carrie Bennett:

they're supposed to raise being suppressed and

Carrie Bennett:

raising melatonin when it needs to be elevated,

Carrie Bennett:

and then giving those safety signals as well.

Meredith Oke:

Wow. Yeah. I mean, I obviously talk about this

Meredith Oke:

topic a lot, but every time I'm just like, wow.

Meredith Oke:

You know, and if every. Anything else that we're

Meredith Oke:

saying or you hear is like, you're like, what are

Meredith Oke:

they talking about? If one thing lands, it's just

Meredith Oke:

the light, right? That one piece can have such a,

Meredith Oke:

like, deep and profound effect on our physiology

Meredith Oke:

and our biology. And we, you know, I think every

Meredith Oke:

time I hear it, it's like I'm making up for never

Meredith Oke:

having heard it for the first 41 years of my

Meredith Oke:

life. Now I need to hear it all the time. And it

Meredith Oke:

ties into all the other things you're talking

Meredith Oke:

about so beautifully. But yeah, it's, it's a

Meredith Oke:

tough one. Because we are surrounded by people

Meredith Oke:

who, like, have no idea.

Carrie Bennett:

And you just want to be like, please. But, you

Carrie Bennett:

know, it, it is eventually it, like we are

Carrie Bennett:

reaching a critical threshold. Like, you know,

Carrie Bennett:

speaking of the ether, what's in the ether? It's,

Carrie Bennett:

it's this morphogenetic field of human

Carrie Bennett:

consciousness and human awareness. And if enough

Carrie Bennett:

of us start engaging with this information, we

Carrie Bennett:

will reach that hundredth monkey effect. We will

Carrie Bennett:

get that critical think threshold of the number

Carrie Bennett:

of us that need to have this awareness for it to

Carrie Bennett:

all of a sudden just essentially be a normal

Carrie Bennett:

download into all of human consciousness. I truly

Carrie Bennett:

believe that's the case. I don't think we're

Carrie Bennett:

there yet, but I think we're approaching it. I'm

Carrie Bennett:

hopeful that we're approaching it soon.

Meredith Oke:

I agree. I think we're. I mean, just in the last

Meredith Oke:

few years, we've gotten. It's shifted so much. I

Meredith Oke:

just had somebody this week send me a link to an

Meredith Oke:

article in the Economist that was like, should we

Meredith Oke:

maybe change the public health recommendations on

Meredith Oke:

sunlight? And they, they cited the Swedish study.

Carrie Bennett:

Oh, no way. They pulled it all up. All of it.

Meredith Oke:

They pulled it all up. And then, of course, they

Meredith Oke:

had the requisite paragraph. We don't have enough

Meredith Oke:

information and we need to be careful and we

Meredith Oke:

don't really know the mechanism of all of this

Meredith Oke:

and blah, blah, blah. And then you're reading

Meredith Oke:

that and you're like, well, we do, actually. You

Meredith Oke:

just haven't looked into it.

Carrie Bennett:

Right, right. The fact that that's even an

Carrie Bennett:

article is huge.

Meredith Oke:

But the fact. Yes, and, and 90% of the article

Meredith Oke:

was focused on the benefit of sunlight, you know,

Meredith Oke:

with the requisite disclaimer from someone who

Meredith Oke:

wasn't into it at the end. So. Yeah, and that

Meredith Oke:

wasn't the Economist, for goodness sake. So,

Meredith Oke:

yeah, the shifts, the shifts are coming. So,

Meredith Oke:

yeah, I'm curious, like, you have been, you know,

Meredith Oke:

coaching practitioners and working with clients,

Meredith Oke:

really focused on this for, for years. And what

Meredith Oke:

are you seeing? What are some of the, the common

Meredith Oke:

things you see? What are some of the anomalies?

Meredith Oke:

And, you know, at the Institute of Applied

Meredith Oke:

Quantum Biology, we have so many different types

Meredith Oke:

of practitioners who all layer in this

Meredith Oke:

perspective. Right. Because it's not, it's. It's

Meredith Oke:

a operate, it's a way of. It's a lens, it's not a

Meredith Oke:

modality. So just share what comes to mind.

Carrie Bennett:

Oh, my gosh, that's an interesting question.

Carrie Bennett:

Number one. I do. I, I think as if you're

Carrie Bennett:

starting off with this, it is, it is helpful like

Carrie Bennett:

you said, to have the guidance of a clinician who

Carrie Bennett:

is well versed in, in these strategies we're

Carrie Bennett:

talking about. Because I will get people to come

Carrie Bennett:

and this is no judgment on them in any capacity.

Carrie Bennett:

They're all lovely human beings, but they'll say

Carrie Bennett:

that they're doing all the things right? And it,

Carrie Bennett:

and, and sometimes that's not even close to being

Carrie Bennett:

true, right? It's like I'm occasionally going

Carrie Bennett:

outside in the morning, I'm not blocking the

Carrie Bennett:

artificial light before I wake up. I'm not as

Carrie Bennett:

good with blue blockers at night time or, or

Carrie Bennett:

like, you know, I'm doing all the things, but I

Carrie Bennett:

haven't bought a pair of blue blockers yet. It's

Carrie Bennett:

like, that's where it's like, okay, these are

Carrie Bennett:

like, here are the really foundational things

Carrie Bennett:

that I, I really want you to focus on. But then,

Carrie Bennett:

and light is like, light is a foundational tier.

Carrie Bennett:

But for me, light and mindset go hand in hand,

Carrie Bennett:

right? So it's like I also need someone to stop

Carrie Bennett:

claiming identity with my lime, my Hashimoto's,

Carrie Bennett:

my, you know, whatever condition that they've

Carrie Bennett:

been labeled as having. And so I think that

Carrie Bennett:

there's a, that, that, that we, we do tout light.

Carrie Bennett:

And for some people, three days of changing their

Carrie Bennett:

light environment literally changes their lives.

Carrie Bennett:

I've heard that so many times. It's such a

Carrie Bennett:

blessing to be able to like, you know, share this

Carrie Bennett:

information and have someone have such a profound

Carrie Bennett:

effect like that. But sometimes for some people

Carrie Bennett:

that, that can, you gotta add in a couple more

Carrie Bennett:

things or do things a little bit differently.

Carrie Bennett:

Like it's not, you're not following the best

Carrie Bennett:

light protocol for you if you don't have the blue

Carrie Bennett:

blockers or whatnot. So there's, there's that. I

Carrie Bennett:

also then have people who do the light stuff. But

Carrie Bennett:

there's, you know, I think, I think understanding

Carrie Bennett:

the water and optimizing that water in the body

Carrie Bennett:

is foundational. I think there's a huge piece

Carrie Bennett:

where we wanna not think that EMFs are impacting

Carrie Bennett:

us. And I'll have people who will sleep with

Carrie Bennett:

wearables, right, who will, or like have their

Carrie Bennett:

cell phone next to their pillow and stuff. It's

Carrie Bennett:

like. And so there's these things where you're

Carrie Bennett:

just like, I think that is where a clinician

Carrie Bennett:

comes in and can say, there's some things that

Carrie Bennett:

I'm really glad that you're doing correctly. And

Carrie Bennett:

I, or I think in a really, really beneficial,

Carrie Bennett:

potentially beneficial way for you. But let's

Carrie Bennett:

dive a Little bit deeper now. So it. So sometimes

Carrie Bennett:

it's easy to hear podcasts be like, okay, I'm

Carrie Bennett:

gonna, I'm gonna do all the lights stuff. But we

Carrie Bennett:

do need someone to maybe hone in on the other

Carrie Bennett:

things as well. But also I'll hear, well, I go

Carrie Bennett:

out in the sun and now I'm just exhausted all the

Carrie Bennett:

time. It's like, I'm tired. Like, why am I so

Carrie Bennett:

tired? Because I'm getting more sunlight. I'm.

Carrie Bennett:

Why am I tired after getting red light therapy?

Carrie Bennett:

And that's where we'll say, I'll say, your body

Carrie Bennett:

now is building. In our world, we call it redox,

Carrie Bennett:

which is just adequately charged water or

Carrie Bennett:

adequate energy inside the body to flow. Finally,

Carrie Bennett:

tell your body to calm down, get parasympathetic

Carrie Bennett:

so we can heal. Right. The body has been, had

Carrie Bennett:

been in such. Either a depleted state because

Carrie Bennett:

that, that energy, that sort key source of energy

Carrie Bennett:

had been so drained and likely at the same time.

Carrie Bennett:

There is an aspect of the nervous system that is

Carrie Bennett:

dysregulated in one capacity or the other.

Carrie Bennett:

Sometimes it's both, you know, on, on go, both on

Carrie Bennett:

break, one really driven. So that nervous system

Carrie Bennett:

through light and earthing especially comes back

Carrie Bennett:

into balance. And when that happens, the body

Carrie Bennett:

says, okay, I. This nap, is that you feeling

Carrie Bennett:

tired and wanting to nap after your light

Carrie Bennett:

exposure? It's not pathological or dysfunctional.

Carrie Bennett:

It's because your body has the energy and the

Carrie Bennett:

nervous system balanced out to finally go in and

Carrie Bennett:

heal. And so there's like a lot of little tweaks

Carrie Bennett:

and things. And there is this coaching that we

Carrie Bennett:

need to do when it comes to helping people

Carrie Bennett:

through this because sometimes, like I said, it's

Carrie Bennett:

a beautiful, like, I've healed in three days

Carrie Bennett:

story. And a lot of the time it's a, let's

Carrie Bennett:

continue to, you know, progress you through this

Carrie Bennett:

through this lens that we've, that we've used

Carrie Bennett:

with so many people that we know is beneficial.

Carrie Bennett:

It's foundational human health, human signaling,

Carrie Bennett:

human energy optimization. But sometimes it takes

Carrie Bennett:

a little longer. There's other tweaks we need to

Carrie Bennett:

do.

Meredith Oke:

Yeah, yeah. And yeah, we, I mean, we started off

Meredith Oke:

talking about how, yeah, you want to get to the

Meredith Oke:

point where you're so in touch with your body

Meredith Oke:

that you understand. However, if you're at the,

Meredith Oke:

you know, at a point in your journey where you're

Meredith Oke:

not there yet. Absolutely. Please, like join a

Meredith Oke:

group, work with a practitioner, get a health

Meredith Oke:

coach. Like, we need, we need guidance in the

Meredith Oke:

beginning because, yeah, there are these other

Meredith Oke:

things and you start, you do something for a

Meredith Oke:

while and then something pops up or some,

Meredith Oke:

something happens and it's like, oh, oh wait,

Meredith Oke:

what's this? What's this about? And it's like,

Meredith Oke:

okay, it's leading us to the next, in the next

Meredith Oke:

direction that we need to head.

Carrie Bennett:

And people view when symptoms pop up, people view

Carrie Bennett:

them as like we have this framework that right

Carrie Bennett:

now where people, we think that they're bad. It's

Carrie Bennett:

like, my, oh, my body's not working again. Like

Carrie Bennett:

oh, I was doing so what up? It's like, no,

Carrie Bennett:

sometimes there's actually a reversal of the

Carrie Bennett:

symptoms reappearing in the reverse order. Right?

Carrie Bennett:

Because that's a, that's very, very homeopathic

Carrie Bennett:

type thing. Just to, to see when you're working

Carrie Bennett:

through homeopathy, it's like this reversal. It's

Carrie Bennett:

like, okay, whatever you were experiencing first,

Carrie Bennett:

maybe it was debilitating stomach pain that

Carrie Bennett:

clears up and then all of a sudden the migraines

Carrie Bennett:

pop back up again. But like it's your body kind

Carrie Bennett:

of going back through like healing things.

Carrie Bennett:

Symptoms will reappear transiently, but if that,

Carrie Bennett:

then we do things to suppress them. The symptoms,

Carrie Bennett:

we actually kind of can delay the healing

Carrie Bennett:

response. So this is where we're kind of working

Carrie Bennett:

people through just the mindset of healing.

Carrie Bennett:

Healing is for some people, yes, it's basically a

Carrie Bennett:

miracle for other people it's not linear in any

Carrie Bennett:

capacity. But I've now seen enough people work

Carrie Bennett:

through this process for the first year. A lot of

Carrie Bennett:

trial and error, a lot of just getting like, how

Carrie Bennett:

can I live my life to in each season to be more

Carrie Bennett:

engaged with the light, to build exclusion zone

Carrie Bennett:

water. How do I earth and ground in the various

Carrie Bennett:

seasons, you know, and takes a year to oftentimes

Carrie Bennett:

tap into non native EMFs and what we can do to

Carrie Bennett:

minimize or mitigate those. And then the second

Carrie Bennett:

time through, so there'll be some healing for

Carrie Bennett:

sure. Second time through. Now there's more

Carrie Bennett:

confidence, like, okay, now I know it's spring.

Carrie Bennett:

Now I know what I'm going to do with my building

Carrie Bennett:

my, my solar tolerance on my skin. All these

Carrie Bennett:

things, right? We go through it and then that

Carrie Bennett:

third year, so there's, there's this evolution

Carrie Bennett:

that happens that if people are willing to see

Carrie Bennett:

stick with it. Each year it gets better and

Carrie Bennett:

better and better, but it sometimes does take a

Carrie Bennett:

while to go through it. And that's where it is

Carrie Bennett:

helpful at first at least to have a clinician to

Carrie Bennett:

be like, listen, what you're experiencing isn't

Carrie Bennett:

weird. Your body's not broken. If your symptoms

Carrie Bennett:

reappear, let's dive into that through these

Carrie Bennett:

different lenses of what your body could be

Carrie Bennett:

telling you. And just know that if this is your

Carrie Bennett:

first three weeks doing this or your first three

Carrie Bennett:

months doing this, that your body is at the tip

Carrie Bennett:

of the iceberg of getting its benefits. Because

Carrie Bennett:

the benefits just continue to add on to each

Carrie Bennett:

other. They compound each year.

Meredith Oke:

Yes, it's a journey.

Carrie Bennett:

Always everything.

Meredith Oke:

It's not. Not a destination. We have mile. You

Meredith Oke:

know, I think we have milestones on the way, but

Meredith Oke:

it's. Yeah, it's all a journey. I just. I just

Meredith Oke:

had that happen this week. I had a few days, like

Meredith Oke:

a week period where. Just between world events

Meredith Oke:

and energy and where I'm at personally, I just. I

Meredith Oke:

was. I went very internal and really, like,

Meredith Oke:

backed off, doing a lot of work and doing a lot

Meredith Oke:

of stuff. And on the final day of that, I got. I

Meredith Oke:

was so sick. Like, I. I had like a raging

Meredith Oke:

headache. I had chills. I was nauseous. And I'm

Meredith Oke:

like, I know I don't have the flu. Like, I know I

Meredith Oke:

don't. I know what that feels like. And this

Meredith Oke:

isn't it. And I had to sleep basically all day.

Meredith Oke:

And yeah, I woke up the next day and I felt

Meredith Oke:

better than I had before it all started. And I'm

Meredith Oke:

like, I don't know what.

Carrie Bennett:

That was, but beautiful purging that your.

Meredith Oke:

Body seems to be something what you're describing.

Carrie Bennett:

Yeah, exactly. Exactly.

Meredith Oke:

Thank you. I love that. All right, so as we wrap

Meredith Oke:

up, like, any. Any last thoughts coming to you?

Meredith Oke:

No, I mean, I think anything you want to share?

Carrie Bennett:

I think we touched on a lot of great stuff here,

Carrie Bennett:

and I think I just want to reemphasize that. I

Carrie Bennett:

have been great. Grateful for finding quantum

Carrie Bennett:

biology and diving into it because it did provide

Carrie Bennett:

the necessary. It and still is providing the

Carrie Bennett:

necessary framework for me to live my life, for

Carrie Bennett:

my health, for my mental health, my physical

Carrie Bennett:

health, my emotional health, my spiritual health.

Carrie Bennett:

It's really providing a comprehensive framework.

Carrie Bennett:

And the one thing I love about this and teaching

Carrie Bennett:

it to people who are willing to really engage

Carrie Bennett:

with this information and apply it is that it's.

Carrie Bennett:

Like you said, it's not necessarily a quick fix.

Carrie Bennett:

It is a lifestyle, but it's a lifestyle that I

Carrie Bennett:

don't hear people being like, oh, yeah, I'm not.

Carrie Bennett:

I'm gonna stop wearing my blue blockers. Or, oh,

Carrie Bennett:

yeah, I'm not gonna go out and get the sun

Carrie Bennett:

anymore. Or that morning walk. Yeah, what a waste

Carrie Bennett:

of my, like, it right so. So it truly is nice to

Carrie Bennett:

give people and teach people a framework that

Carrie Bennett:

that is something that is. It really, truly is

Carrie Bennett:

life transformative because it gives me not just,

Carrie Bennett:

I'm gonna try this latest fad. It's like, no, I

Carrie Bennett:

think I've really found things that my body is

Carrie Bennett:

fundamentally asking for on a regular basis. And

Carrie Bennett:

so that's just really rewarding as a clinician,

Carrie Bennett:

but just, it's kind of just empowering as a human

Carrie Bennett:

as well, to be like, okay, I'm not searching for,

Carrie Bennett:

like, the next. What's the next product or the

Carrie Bennett:

next hit supplement or whatever it is. It's like

Carrie Bennett:

my body is way more regulated, I think, because

Carrie Bennett:

I've truly found a lifestyle that is. That is

Carrie Bennett:

both healing and once you heal, the body

Carrie Bennett:

continues to thrive. So.

Meredith Oke:

Yes, yeah, it's how we're meant to be. And so

Meredith Oke:

we're returning home. We're not like, trying some

Meredith Oke:

new thing. Thank you so much, Carrie. As always,
