We start with a short story about Charles Darwin (who had no idea what he was discovering \/ also he was 22 y.o.!) But the information he collected has unlocked more than a century of discovery regarding the environment and how it has the power to physically change us. Let's take this knowledge and put it to work for us.  Following episodes will explain how to create aligned design at your home and work using color, light, geometry and 3 dimensional form.   Links: Darwin's Finches:  https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Darwin%27s_finches Encyclopedia of the Environment \/ Scientific Studies:  https:\/\/www.encyclopedie-environnement.org\/en\/health\/epigenetics-how-the-environment-influences-our-genes\/ Epigenetics Definition \/ Explanation from CDC:  https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/genomics\/disease\/epigenetics.htm Effect of External Factors on the Genome \/ NIH: https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4887632\/ Dr. Bruce Lipton:  https:\/\/www.brucelipton.com\/   ","author_name":"4D Design","author_url":"https:\/\/sites.libsyn.com\/494413","html":"
