Currently listening to this awesome mix by Nature Rage

I've begun subscribing to the GOOP newsletter, I particularly liked this week's, click here to read. Dr. Frank Lipman has a theory about why we are all so tired, exhausted, "spent", most of the time as he calls it. He references the DNA we have from our ancestors, chronobiology, and viewing each human as a microcosm of the macrocosm, all topics I have been interested in the past few years. He basically writes a book about becoming in tune with nature's rhythms again, which is one of the main views of Taoism and Chinese Medicine. I feel like if I had put my thoughts together, I could have written everything that he said! But maybe I will one day. And he has done a good job of explaining it, in the newsletter, I think.

Empty yourself of everything.
Let the mind become still.
The ten thousand things rise and fall while the Self watches their return.
They grow and flourish and then return to the source.
-Lao Tzu
