In this episode of Becoming Natural, we explore one of the most ancient and accessible healing tools available: sunlight. Once revered by civilizations across the globe, the sun has become something we fear and block. But is that fear costing us vitality, balance, and even faith? We trace the historical, biological, and spiritual relationship we’ve had with sunlight—from heliotherapy to vitamin D production—and how reestablishing a healthy relationship with light can transform your sleep, hormones, mood, and immunity.Whether you're struggling with fatigue, anxious moods, or hormone imbalance—or simply want to reconnect with creation—this episode offers wisdom, science, and simple morning practices to help you rise and shine. 🌞💭 Something to Think About:"Sunlight isn’t something to fear or worship.
