Bhairitu, It's understandable why this is the case. From what I've heard, there are some countries in Europe, like Sweden and Finland, where it's always dark during the winter--with only a very short glimpse of the Sun perhaps. Who can't be depressed in that environment? From what I

There's a radio host I listen to who is based in Los Angeles that thinks that it gets dark there too early in the winter. On 12/22/2013 11:40 AM, jr_...@yahoo.com wrote: Bhairitu, It's understandable why this is the case. From what I've heard, there are some countries in Europe, like

If you're thinking of tanning salons, no, those are most definitely not the answer. But SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) can be significantly mitigated with the use of light boxes designed for the purpose:

Yup, looks like it. Individuals can buy light boxes for a couple hundred bucks, just put them on a table and sit in front of them for a half an hour a day. The Slate article I linked to has more details. (It's important to let the light enter the eyes, so I'm not sure why some of the people in

In esoteric literature apparently *THIS IS THE UNDERWORLD*, when you die you come here! ;-) The Romans not having a great deal of spiritual receptivity responded to the quickened spiritual vibrations at this time of the year with great feasting and celebrating including alcohol, not much
