What is light?
Not metaphorically.
Not poetically.
Actually.In this conversation with Suzanne Bates, we explore light as biology, energy, communication, healing, emotion, rhythm, consciousness, and connection.
We talk about why morning sunlight changes the body, how the heart emits measurable energy, why coherence matters, how suffering shapes us, and why healing may begin with learning not to abandon ourselves.
The more we talked, the more it felt like light is not just something we see — it may be the thing participating in everything.
