Episode 57: Understand How Energy Flows in You With Chinese Medicine with Caitlin Donovan
There are many ways to understand the energy around us.\xa0 In western philosophy, when we talk energy we use a scientific lens.\xa0 We logically categorize each finding into its own tidy compartment: kinetic energy, potential energy, thermal energy, chemical energy, gravitational energy\u2026(yes, I loved my science courses * nerd face * \U0001f609 ) We try to create something tangible out of the unseen \u2013 and I\u2019d say we\u2019ve been quite successful at it! \xa0\xa0We take these concepts to help us understand the world around us \u2013 another thing that science has been quite successful at too!\xa0 But that\u2019s not quite what I\u2019m interested in learning these days when it comes to energy.\xa0 I\u2019m more interested in the deeper workings of energy within ourselves \u2013 not just how something works but the big picture of how everything integrates together (mind, body, spirit).\xa0 This is where systems of Eastern Philosophy can help!\xa0 Today we talk about how energy flows within ourselves based on Chinese Medicine.\xa0 Caitlin Donovan, an acupuncturist, herbalist and face reader with a Master's degree in Chinese Medicine is here to teach us all about it.\xa0 As Caitlin puts it - in our western world, we process information in a linear fashion whereas with Chinese Medicine everything happens in a circle.\xa0 You need to see all parts together to understand the picture.
