Episode 18: The Nature of Light– Particle, Wave, and Metaphor

7/15/2025

Light is one of the most mysterious and powerful forces in the universe — and in our lives.

In this episode, we explore the dual nature of light in physics: how it acts as both a particle and a wave, defying simple definition. Then we shift into the metaphorical and spiritual realm — asking what light represents in our inner world, how we shine, and what it means to reflect.

💡 Could light be a mirror for your own nature — something radiant, reflective, and full of paradox?

✨ Featuring:

  • A simple explanation of light’s duality in quantum physics

  • Spiritual insights on the symbolism of light across traditions

  • A journal prompt to guide self-reflection and inner clarity

📝 Reflection Prompt:
Where are you being asked to shine more brightly in your life?
