Deep Calm - Episode 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\u2019s built-in relaxation response, and takes a deep dive to explore what\u2019s 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\u2019s connected to the repeating patterns in nature - fractals - and Michael discovers that we live in a fractal universe.
