TRANSCRIPT: Day 10 Perfect Health Deepak Chopra and Oprah Winfrey

on

In today’s meditation: Breathing for Balance, we take a closer look at something we all do every day – breathing. Everything that is alive is energized by a force called prana. Prana means “energy” or “life force,” and in humans, that life force is the breath.

Whereas most of our breathing is regulated automatically, conscious breathing can completely shift our perception. When we close our eyes and simply witness the breath as it flows in and out of our nostrils, we invite peace and balance into our lives, bathing our brains and every cell of our bodies in energy and vitality.

Day 10 — Breathing for Balance

“Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor.” ~ Thich Nhat Hanh

OUR CENTERING THOUGHT:

I am one with the breath of life.

OUR SANSKRIT MANTRA:

So Hum.

I am.

OPRAH WINFREY

Welcome to Day 10. Breathing for balance. And we've all found ourselves in stressful situations when somebody might say something, and you need to take a deep breath. Focusing on our breath, immediately brings us to the here and now, as a true calming effect. 

Today, Deepak shares how conscious breathing benefits all of us, greatly contributing to our health and well-being. 

So if you find yourself worrying or anxious, just breathe, remember take a deep breath. And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know that you have for sure, invite yourself into the present moment, knowing, right here and right now, all as well. 

As we prepare to meditate, get comfortable, and listen as Deepak offers us new insights into the wonders of the breath.

DEEPAK CHOPRA

All living things are enlivened by energy called "Prana", a force that pulses through each of us and gives us life.

In sanskrit, "Prana" simply means breath, and while "Prana" energizes us in the form of breath, any form of energy, light, heat, and electricity is also considered "Prana". 

"Prana" catalyzes all activity, it is consciousness the connection, to the true self. 

Cultivating "Prana" in our lives can bring us greater energy and mental clarity.

Practicing many of the techniques we've been discussing, such as meditation, enjoying our favorite activities, and spending time in nature, enlivens our "Prana", and makes us feel whole. 

There are also easy conscious breathing techniques, known as "Pranayama", that will bring greater vigor into our lives and improve our mental and physical states.

Just a few minutes of conscious breathing, especially when we are feeling stressed or anxious, can completely shift our mood and perspective, and bring us a sense of calm.

The more we practice connecting with our breath, our life force energy, our "Prana", the most spontaneously we'll find that we move from our current state of awareness, into one that allows us, a more expanded understanding of ourselves, and the world around us.

As we move into our meditation practice, let's consider our centering thought: 

I am one with the breath of life.

I am one with the breath of life.

I am one with the breath of life.

Sitting comfortably. Close your eyes. Begin breathing through the nostrils, inhaling and exhaling slowly. 

As you continue, imagine the breath as it flows in and out, in and out. 

You may have heard someone say, watch the breath, and this is all that means, envisioning the breath flowing through the nostrils.

Now gently mentally introduce the mantra:

SO HUM. Which means: I am.

SO HUM.

Whenever you find yourself distracted by thoughts, or sensations, or noises, just go back to repeating the mantra:

SO HUM.

Continue with your meditation. At the end you'll hear me ring a soft bell, letting you know when it's time to stop.

SO HUM. 

Now just in the mind.

SO HUM.

~ Meditation ~

Please stop repeating the mantra, inhale and exhale slowly, and allow some time to rest. When you feel ready, you can open your eyes. 

Throughout your day, contemplate the centering thought: 

I am one with the breath of life.

I am one with the breath of life.

I am one with the breath of life.

Namaste

Day 2 Manifesting True Success Deepak Chopra and Oprah Winfrey

Oprah Winfrey: Welcome to Day Two of our journey, toward manifesting true success. The great spiritualist Thomas Merton said, love is not just something that happens to you, it is a certain special way of being alive. What I know for sure is if you invite love to flow through your heart space into everything, and everyone around you, that flow elevates you, it will connect you to all that is, and will become a constant north star, a guiding light eliminating the way to unbounded good fortune for you. Whether it's the love of what you do, the love of others or most importantly loving yourself.  Each moment of love that you create, gathers significance, and becomes its own miracle, that my friend is a life of success. So let's listen to Deepak and then we'll meditate. Miracles await us. Deepak Chopra: Another important aspect of success is the ability to love and be loved. A successful life extends to the highest spiritual dimensions, but it also must be practical in the her

Day 6 Manifesting True Success Deepak Chopra and Oprah Winfrey

Today’s meditation (Successful Emotions) centers on the role our emotions play in supporting our success. Nothing is more intimate to us than our emotions. The current feelings that underlie all of our thoughts and physical sensations have a major influence on every choice we make. Even after careful, rational analysis, we tend to make our final decisions based on what feels right to us. For that reason, it is vital that we heal and train our emotions to be reliable and trusted allies. We want our emotions to support our success. Emotions like anger, depression, and anxiety can undermine our success, but the answer is not in repressing emotions. Emotions need to move and settle into calmer patterns so that they can reliably support our success with insight, energy, and joy. Day  6 – “Successful Emotions“ “I don’t want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them.” ~ Oscar Wilde OUR CENTERING THOUGHT: “My emotions are my most intimate ally” OUR SANSKRIT MANTRA: “

TRANSCRIPT: Day 2 Perfect Health Deepak Chopra and Oprah Winfrey

In today’s meditation: The Nature of Perfect Health, we discuss how it is our evolutionary impulse to progress in our lives, to seek and attain balance, and to be healthy and strong. While our bodies naturally move toward balance, there are things we can do to aid in this process. For instance, we can send our bodies messages of love and support by eating nourishing foods, getting proper rest, and engaging in activities that make us feel truly alive. So, as we begin to understand how our bodies take care of us, we also learn how we can better take care of our bodies. “ To keep the body in good health is a duty… otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear .” ~ Buddha OUR CENTERING THOUGHT : Balance is my true nature. OUR SANSKRIT MANTRA : Yam My love flows without restriction. Questions: How does your body let you know when it’s feeling overworked, tired, or stressed? Describe how your body feels when you eat a non-healthy meal. What does it feel like when you have

TRANSCRIPT: Day 7 Perfect Health Deepak Chopra and Oprah Winfrey

Congratulations on completing our first week together! Today, our meditation centers on honoring your body, the temples that are the vehicles for our souls. By keeping our bodies healthy and strong, we are better able to turn our energy toward deeply meaningful experiences, spending time with loved ones, enjoying the beauty of nature all around us, and pursuing our own spiritual paths. Because this body is the only one we have, we must treat it with great love and respect, so that it will, in turn, enable us to enjoy all those things we love. Day 7 – Honoring Your Body “The invariable mark of wisdom is to see the miraculous in the common.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson OUR CENTERING THOUGHT: My body is a magnificent vehicle that connects me to spirit.  OUR SANSKRIT MANTRA: Lam.
