Deep Calm - Ep 4: Using the Power of Nature

Sit back, leave behind the cares of the day and take a sonic
journey with Dr Michael Mosley. In this new podcast series,
designed to help you let go and unwind, each episode focuses on a
scientifically-proven technique for activating the body’s
built-in relaxation response, and takes a deep dive to explore
what’s happening inside as we find stillness and calm.


What is it about the natural world that has such a positive
impact upon our physiology - slowing our heart rate and blood
pressure, settling our thoughts and so much more? One theory is
that it’s connected to the repeating patterns in nature -
fractals - and Michael discovers that we live in a fractal
universe.


Guest: Richard Taylor, professor at the University of Oregon.
