Allow me to introduce you to the ancient mathematician, philosopher, and mystic, Pythagoras. We begin a new series by getting to know Pythagoras, not just as a mathematician but as someone who was steeped in the mysteries of the universe. You'll explore his life, where he came from, and the almost mystical way people saw him. Enjoy this bonus episode from the Sip and Om meditation app. Imagine the universe as a giant orchestra, where everything moves in perfect rhythm, creating a cosmic symphony. That's what Pythagoras believed! You'll dive into this idea and how it connects to his belief that math is the key to understanding everything. This day is about setting the stage for a week of self-discovery. You'll focus on the idea that we're all connected to something bigger than ourselves and how finding your own inner harmony is the first step to understanding the harmony of the universe.
