This sleep episode shares an ancient Chinese creation myth about the giant Pangu separating Yin and Yang to form the heavens and the earth. It poetically depicts the universe beginning as a cosmic egg containing the sleeping giant Pangu. When Pangu awakens, he stretches and cracks open the egg, allowing Yin and Yang to differentiate and bring order to chaos. Pangu then grows taller each day for eons, pushing apart the sky and earth. Finally he rests, transforming into features of the natural world. The story explores themes of beginnings, change, purpose, and our connection to the universe.

Highlights

[07:53] - Pangu is awakening and shifting subtly within the giant cosmic egg.

[19:41] - Yin and Yang energies are separating gracefully from the cracked cosmic egg.

[23:33] - Pangu is persevering daily to push apart and expand the fledgling heavens and earth.

[31:48] - The dragon, phoenix, turtle and qilin are emerging from nature to honor Pangu.
