Tapping Yin & Yang - Agents of Change

Be the Change!

Here is Mahatma Gandhi's actual quote:

"We but mirror the wold. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. This is the divine mystery supreme. A wonderful thing it is and the source of our happiness. We need not wait to see what others do."

This episode addresses how we change our circumstances and world from our own place. Topics like Yin & Yang, Cycles, Spirals, and Seasons all factor into our collective understanding of the universe of which we all belong. We not only belong to the universe, we are made of the same stuff.

“The four most common chemically active elements in the universe—hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen—are the four most common elements of life on Earth. We are not simply in the universe. The universe is in us.” - Neil deGrasse Tyson

The above quote encapsulates the purpose and jumping off point for this conversation. It overlays a scientific template on a more energetic one which may explain why our intentions and actions have direct consequences in the world around us.

This is a casual conversation that feels organically directed, asking philosophical questions like, "are inner and outer just illusions" as well as anatomical and scientific statements & queries of how the body works.
