TRANSCRIPT: Day 13 Perfect Health Deepak Chopra and Oprah Winfrey

on

Welcome to day 13: Moving for Balance. Yoga means “union” – the union of mind, body, and spirit. There is far more to yoga than the beneficial practice of postures, or asanas. 

Yoga is finding balance, and union, in all aspects of our lives. Moving our bodies in ways that help us feel peaceful and connected with everything around us – whether it’s a brisk walk, a focused run, or an hour of yoga – can shift our awareness.

Exercise helps us feel open and alive, rebalances our perspective, improves our physiology, and allows us to experience all aspects of ourselves, in harmony.

Day 13 – Moving for Balance

“Consciousness is only possible through change; change is only possible through movement.” ~ Aldous Huxley.

OUR CENTERING THOUGHT:

I am flexible, powerful, and balanced.

OUR SANSKRIT MANTRA:

Om Varunam Namah. My life is in harmony with cosmic law.

OPRAH WINFREY

Welcome to Day 13. Moving for balance. We all know, exercise is good for our bodies.  But it also does wonderful things for the mind and spirit, at its best exercise, whether it's a brisk walk or a focused run or an hour of yoga can shift our awareness. 

Exercise can also help us feel open and alive rebalance our perspective help us experience all aspects of ourselves. In harmony through exercise we improve our mood our self-image, enjoying greater health and well-being. 

So today's discussion from Deepak, focuses on movement and brings us back to the concept we talked about earlier in our time together, how the body is the vehicle for our beautiful souls. 

So let's get comfortable, and listen to Deepak tell us, how moving our body brings balance, back into our lives, then he'll lead us into our daily meditation.

DEEPAK CHOPRA

Originating in India, about 5000 years ago, yoga is a science, a philosophy, and a way of life. The word Yoga comes from the sanskrit "yuj" which means to unite. Yoga then means union, the union of mind, body, and spirit ,and the connection between individual and universal consciousness.

Yoga includes movement, meditation, and an overall perspective on the world that emphasizes love, generosity, honesty, and compassion.

In the west however, the most commonly recognized way yoga is practiced, is through a series of poses or "Asanas".

"Asana" in sanskrit means seat, and the steady practice of asanas not only enables us to develop balance, strength, and flexibility, but it ultimately offers a good seat for the soul within the vehicle of the human body.

From this prime position, we are then better poised for spiritual growth. Beyond us in our practice, today's yoga can encompass any activity that helps bring that sense of peace and union, into our lives.

Dancing, swimming, cycling, walking in nature, all can be moving meditations which allow us to experience the richness of the outer world, strengthen our cardiovascular systems, release endorphins and clear our minds. 

The ultimate purpose of yoga in all its forms is to enliven awareness, and expand our understanding of the true self.

Regular practice offers us opportunities to experience every part of ourselves, with compassion and awareness.

When all aspects of our humanity, physical, intellectual, and spiritual work in union with one another, our lives like our bodies, become balanced vital and whole.

As we begin our meditation practice let's consider our centering thought:

I am flexible, powerful, and balanced.

I am flexible, powerful, and balanced.

Now let's begin. Please get comfortable and close your eyes. Begin to be aware of your breath, inhaling and exhaling, slowly and deeply. With each breath allow yourself to become more relaxed. Introduce the mantra:

Om Varunam Namah. My life is in harmony with cosmic law.

Whenever you find yourself distracted by thoughts, noises, or physical sensations, simply return your attention to silently repeating the mantra:

Om Varunam Namah. 

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

Om Varunam Namah. 

Om Varunam Namah. 

Just silently in the mind.

Om Varunam Namah. 

~ Meditation ~

Please release 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 flexible powerful and balanced.

I am flexible powerful and balanced.

I am flexible powerful and balanced.

Namaste

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: “

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

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
