episode 69: "The Chinese Story of Pangu" | Beginnings of the Earth | Interesting Sleep Story & Reflective Meditation
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.
