BioPhotons: Humans are Light Beings
the Light Within
Have you ever heard the phrase "we are beings of light" and wondered if it was just poetic fluff—or could there be something scientifically true about it? It turns out, there’s more than mysticism behind the idea. Modern science is catching up with what ancient traditions have known all along: we really do emit light, and it may be essential to who we are.
I just recently had a meeting with Dr. Joe and he talked about the science of biophotons. It was incredibly thought provoking and it sent me down another book-buying path! … can never have too many books!
What Are Biophotons?
Biophotons are ultra-weak light particles, photons, emitted by all living things, including you. These light emissions are so subtle, but with highly sensitive instruments, researchers can detect them radiating from living cells.
Biophoton research began with German biophysicist Fritz-Albert Popp in the 1970s. He discovered that these tiny bursts of light:
Are coherent, meaning they are orderly and structured (like laser light).
Could play a central role in how our bodies function and communicate at the cellular level.
These photons aren't just random byproducts of cellular activity. They're signaling something deeper—possibly serving as a light-based communication network within the body, potentially influencing condciousness.
Why Do We Emit Light?
Every cell in your body is constantly engaged in creation, repair, and regeneration, which involves biochemical reactions that naturally produce light as a byproduct.
But here’s the fascinating part: this light isn't just noise—it may be information.
Researchers believe biophotons:
Help regulate biological processes, like growth, healing, and immune function.
Support intercellular communication, allowing cells to “talk” through light.
Are indicators of health and coherence—the more structured and harmonious your biophoton emissions, the more vital and balanced your system may be.
The Science Behind Humans as Light Beings
The idea that we are “light beings” isn’t just spiritual metaphor—it’s grounded in biology and physics.
Here’s what we know:
Your body emits light, especially around your head, chest, and hands.
This light fluctuates with your mental state, stress level, and health.
Practices like meditation, healthy eating, and emotional regulation appear to increase the coherence (order) of this emitted light.
Your body might be using light to:
Synchronize your organs and systems.
Repair and regenerate tissues.
Connect with subtle environmental energies.
The Spiritual Angle
Spiritual traditions across the world have long described humans as radiant beings:
Chi (Chinese), Prana (Indian), Luz (Latin)—all refer to life force energy often symbolized as light.
The aura is said to be a luminous field that surrounds the body.
Many spiritual experiences are described as moments of "illumination" or "awakening"—a sudden sense of light within.
This isn't just poetic. It's a deeply intuitive understanding of the human experience—now being validated by modern science.
You Are Made of Light
The next time you feel stuck, dim, or disconnected, remember this: you are made of light. Literally. You are a luminous being with a body that hums with energy, emits photons, and communicates through frequency and coherence.
When you meditate, eat whole foods, laugh, heal, and align with your truth—you glow brighter. You're not just raising your vibe… you're actually raising your light.
I believe this is why we say some people are “sunshine” or they “light up a room.” Maybe they literally are! And on some level, we are recognizing their coherent light-filled body.
The Power of Meditation
The power of meditation to create stillness is a powerful tool that you should use daily to get your heart and mind aligned.

Meditation: Your Brain’s Reset Button
Imagine if you could press a magic reset button for your brain. Bad day? Reset. Overthinking? Reset. High anxiety? Reset. Accidentally replied to “Enjoy your meal” with “You too” to your waiter? Reset. Meditation is basically that button.
Meditation isn’t just for monks on mountains. It’s for you—the overworked, overstressed, and maybe slightly neurotic modern human. Let’s dive into why you should sit still and do “nothing” (It’s everything).
You're Not Your Genes!
Dr. Joe doesn’t mince words when it comes to breaking free from old habits. He says:
"You are not doomed by your genes and hardwired to be a certain way for the rest of your life."
Translation? You’re not stuck being that person who always procrastinates, shows up an hour late, or who always micromanages. Meditation helps you rewire your brain. You can ditch the outdated mental program and old thought patterns and start living a life as a new you!
The Quantum Field = Infinite Possibilities
Let’s talk science. Or magic. (It’s kind of both.) Dr. Dispenza explains:
"Meditation opens the door to the quantum field, where infinite possibilities exist."
Think of the quantum field as a cosmic buffet. Want a happier relationship? More confidence? A better job? Meditation is your access pass to focusing on these dreams and making them real. It’s like shopping, but instead of buying stuff, you’re feeling it, believing it, and manifesting it.
Goodbye Cortisol, Hello Chill
Stress hormones like cortisol are like the uninvited guest at your party—they ruin the vibe every single time. Meditation, however, sends cortisol packing and invites your best self to take over.
Your body stops being dramatic (you know you get too dramatic) and starts being awesome. Imagine going from “I can’t even” to “I can totally do that” in just 10 minutes a day.
One of the coolest things about meditation is that it helps you step into the person you want to be.
"Basically, it’s like meeting your future self and saying, “Hey, you’re pretty cool. Let’s get there faster.”
Meditation gives you the tools to outgrow your old habits and create a future that’s all you—just better.
How to Start
Just sit up straight comfortably (do NOT lie down) at least 10 minutes a day. Sit, breathe, and focus on the awesome feelings of having the life you want. Focus on how amazing life could be if you just stopped scrolling social media at 10PM, 2 AM, 7AM. Get out there and live!
Over time, you’ll get better at quieting your mind. Think of it like training a puppy—your brain will eventually stop peeing on the metaphorical carpet and start behaving. You just need to tell your brain to “Stay!” It will try to wonder off and give you your shopping list, or remind you that you have emails to write, and it will remind you of how rude your coworker is and so on. Your job it to tell your brain to STAY focused on nothing. Some days this will be very difficult to do and other days you will nail it. Just do it every day. You deserve that time!
Final Thoughts: Why Wait? Your Brain Deserves This
Meditation isn’t just a self-care trend; it’s a life hack backed by science. Research proves that by investing a few minutes a day, you can transform your mind, body, and future.
So, sit down, close your eyes, and give your brain the reset it deserves. Who knows? You might just wake up as the calm, focused, and unapologetically awesome version of yourself that’s been hiding under all that stress.
