Becoming Sunshine
Fine Tune Your Health and Happiness, Harnessing Key Lessons from the Sun
when we lose connection to the sun, we lose connection to the self.
Becoming Sunshine begins as a historical examination of our human evolution around the sun, and transforms into a practical multidisciplinary guide for achieving an optimal state of being. This book takes a unique look at how the sun shaped our understanding of the world, created different cultural traditions, and most importantly jump started life on Earth. The orchestrator of our human evolution, we rely on the sun to survive and thrive. Our biological processes are intentionally crafted in accordance with the sun's energy… perhaps the sole purpose to imbue within us a sunshine disposition?
