LIGHT IN THE BODY - BODY IN THE LIGHT REVISIONING THE BALANCE OF LIGHT AND DARK

摘要

The Rhythms of light and dark are existential to all life. The rhythms of day and night have structured our lives on earth since more than 4 billion years. And it has been just recently - a fraction of a second in earth time - that we have developed the use of artificial light. The abundant and extensive use of which has caused a major change, not only beneficial for human life but also bringing along many human diseases. We have fallen out of the natural rhythm which is causing an imbalance in our life rhythms. What does this mean for our health and how can we regain a healthy balance for our body-mind-soul? Looking East, to the Indian Yogic tradition, as well as to modern physics we can receive some answers and try to adopt them for our lives.
