David Latimer, a curious man, planted a garden inside a large glass bottle in 1960 and sealed it shut. He opened the bottle 12 years later in 1972 to add some water and then sealed it for good.

The garden has been thriving for nearly 60 years, making it one of the oldest terrariums in the world. The garden is a perfectly balanced and self-sufficient ecosystem.

The bacteria in the compost eats the dead plants and breaks down the oxygen that is released by the plants, turning it into carbon dioxide, which is needed for photosynthesis. The bottle is essentially a microcosm of earth.

David’s sealed bottle garden is a beautiful example of how nature can support itself. The garden makes its own ecosystem through the magic of the sun (photosynthesis) that is self-sufficient. The humidity builds up and begins to rain back down on the plants.

Leaves will also fall and rot, producing carbon dioxide that the plants need for nutrition. It’s a great example of how pioneering plants are and how they will persist given the opportunity.

The garden is still thriving and robust, despite not being watered since 1972. The sealed garden has been placed in the same spot for 27 years in the Latimer’s home and is located in Cranleigh, Surrey.

It was first exposed to the world through Radio 4’s Gardeners Question Time on BBC by Chris Beardshaw. Chris is not only a television host but also a garden designer. He felt David’s sealed garden was indeed the perfect cycle of life and a great example of plants’ recycling ability.

Also adding that it is the same method that NASA is interested in bringing plants into space. Saying: ‘”Plants operate as very good scrubbers, taking out pollutants in the air so that a space station can effectively become self-sustaining,’ he said:

‘This is a great example of just how pioneering plants are and how they will persist given the opportunity.”

There have been multiple times where I have gotten caught running in the rain. This is when you have to remember to reframe your perspective on the experience. There may be a storm now, but it is clearing the way for new things to blossom. 🌻 Even when it’s difficult! There was a time after surfing, when a big storm hit. Everyone was hiding from the rain, and I had a realization. I was soaking wet from the ocean, why was I hiding from the rain? I promptly grabbed my friend and made her dance in the rain with me because why not? Enlightenment is finding peace within the storm. 🌦️

Reacting is involuntary, responding is conscious. This applies to so many areas of our life. This is a biological reaction in our body, and when we become conscious of what’s happening, we can choose how we want to respond and alter our bio chemistry. In a conversation with someone, taking that one pause to respond instead of reacting can change the entire outcome of an experience. It is an important reminder to live your life consciously, and realize that the way you want to immediately react often is not you, it is your subconscious programming. This is where things like Psych K for subconscious reprogramming at a neurological level, can make a world of difference (www.depthwellness.com/psychk).

🍂 Fall introduces intriguing changes to our immune system, influenced not only by shifts in carbon dioxide and oxygen levels but also by reduced sunlight exposure. Let’s explore the science behind it.

🌬️ Carbon Dioxide Impact: Increased CO2 can disrupt immune function, potentially making us more susceptible to illness.

🌱 Oxygen Depletion: The crisp fall air can affect oxygen levels and, consequently, the efficiency of our immune cells.

☀️ Sunlight and Vitamin D: With less sunlight, our bodies produce less vitamin D. This essential vitamin plays a crucial role in immune health.

🌞 Circadian Rhythms: Aligning your routines with your circadian rhythms remains vital, aiding in adapting to these environmental changes.

🌿 Ayurvedic Seasonal Eating: In fall, select foods that enhance oxygenation and immune support. Consider incorporating bioavailability hacks, such as pairing vitamin C-rich foods with iron sources or using turmeric with black pepper for better absorption.

👉 Don’t forget these trending hashtags:

Understanding the science behind seasonal changes empowers us to take proactive steps for our immune health. 🍁🧬💪
