In this episode we look at place from a slightly different angle than our previous discussions of Terrapsychology. With Ayurveda's approach to place we are understanding how the unique qualiites of a place interact with us physically to influence our health.

In this episode we explore current planetary transits and their impacts on our personal and collective lives, weaving in their relationship with ideas discussed in previous episodes.

In episode 4 we deepen the conversation started in episode 3, on the subject of the relationship between our psychology and places we inhabit. I speak with the founder of Terrapsychology, Dr. Craig Chalquist.

In this episode we explore a field called Terrapsychology, which examines the many interactions between personal and collective psychology and different aspects of the locations that influence them. 

In this episode we explore the concept of changing qualities of time as it exists in the Vedic system of thought, helping to situate ourselves inside the current 'age' of Kali Yuga by understanding its liabilities and assets. We also explore the concept of ama or 'undigested material' in Ayurveda, which can help us appreciate a broader understanding of digestion which includes not only food, but anything that we consume through our senses.

Taken together, these two concepts can lend a clearer understanding of where we are, what we are up against collectively, and how we might proceed in a productive way.
