The Natural Rythymn

The human rythmn started to get haywire when electricity was invented.

We stopped observing the moon and feeling how it affects our bodies and emotions.

We stopped reducing our amount of activities during the winter months and "hibernate."

We stopped slowing down in the evening to let the body prepare for sleep.

We stopped making love when our bodies feel like it because we let stress and business get in our way.

Women stopped resting and taking it easy when they have their monthly bleeding.

And finally we have stopped letting our finest senses and intuition guide us, relying instead on pure rational thinking such as the rules of economics.

Henry David Thoreau observed rightly in his book Walden:

"He has no time to be anything but a machine…. The finest qualities of our nature, like the bloom on fruits, can be preserved only by the most delicate handling. Yet we do not treat ourselves nor one another thus tenderly."
