I’VE BEEN LISTENING to conversations with Dr Iain McGilchrist. He is a Psychiatrist, neuroscience researcher, philosopher and literary scholar. My brain feels very small by comparison. But it functions in the same way, and that’s what his books talk about, how our brains function. As well as why this is important to understand, if we want to know the reason why there are so many things in our civilisation to feel stressed about.
Thank you so much for this, Lucy. I'm a new subscriber and wanted to let you know how much I'm savouring your newsletters. They are a beautiful, important blend of mental stimulation...and nourishment for body and soul.
I love your exploration of Dr. Iain's work and Ayurveda here. When training to be a Chinese Medicine doctor, my thesis was about the synergy and overlap between cutting-edge neuroplasticity and epigenetics research...and ancient Taoist wisdom. Deeply fascinating to trace threads of connection and discover places of alchemy. Thank you!
Stress, in our own hands, & a recipe
