Episode 15: COVID-19, Chinese Medicine and germ theory

2024 UPDATE: this episode is getting a much needed update, coming soon. Back in 2020, before I took a break from this podcast, the next episode after this one was planned to be one dispelling germ theory, and explaining the relevance of terrain theory (and it's many parallels with Chinese Medicine, as I understood it back then). Since then, I've been digging deep into the idea of terrain, and the theory of contagion (does it even happen how we've always assumed it does??), and ended up somewhere beyond where I initially set out, in the domain of frequency fields - our own and environmental, native and non-native. Stay tuned for upcoming episodes if you're curious to learn more!
In today’s episode, we are delving deeper into the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, a topic that is on many of our minds right now. In the last episode, I touched on some of the preventative practices and lifestyle measures we can be incorporating right now, and we will be reiterating some of these in light of new understanding around the novel coronavirus. There is so much that we can do each day to nurture our health, and now is a wonderful opportunity to prioritise our health and wellbeing - not just for our own sakes, but also for those of our community. I hope you find this information empowering and heartening!
