Natural Daylight Time
from The Frontier Beyond Fear · host Susan Larison Danz
How does Natural Daylight Time, aligning our schedules with the patterns of the sun (in parts of the world where we can), nurture our well-being? Many have spoken of the benefits of no longer changing the clocks. But those of us who have lived multiple decades doing so, when we are aware of how it actually helps us, know that there are benefits to this periodic clock-changing ordeal. That ordeal is temporary, but the impacts of no longer doing so would not be trivial, and will especially impact society's most vulnerable people (the elderly, those with a disability and children) due to darkness and lingering ice well into the morning in the winter. This was tried in the mid-1970's in the U.S., and it had such adverse impacts, the decision was quickly reversed due to unintended consequences.With degrees in Mathematics and Computer Science, writer, researcher, mystic and philosopher Susan Larison Danz combines logic with spirituality in all of her endeavors, sharing a free-flowing authentic, intuitive and liberating perspective with listeners.
