TRANSCRIPT: Day 14 Perfect Health Deepak Chopra and Oprah Winfrey

on

Welcome to day 14: The Balance in Silence. Congratulations on completing two weeks of our 21-Day Meditation Challenge and on all your achievements thus far!

In the stillness of meditation, we connect with our highest self, the field of pure potentiality, and plant the seeds of our dearest intentions for ourselves and others so that they flourish in our lives.

In this stillness, we come to understand that we are indeed intrinsically part of the universe. We feel connected with everyone and everything around us, and come to know ourselves as magnificently powerful beings who can manifest anything we desire.

Day 14 – The Balance in Silence

“The music is not in the notes, but in the silence between.” ~ Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

OUR CENTERING THOUGHT:

I intend to take steps each day toward perfect health.

OUR SANSKRIT MANTRA:

Om Ritam Namah.

My actions and desires are supported by cosmic intelligence. 

Journal Questions

What do you desire for your life and overall health?

What intentions can you set to help bring you the wellbeing you envision?

How can you create time each day to continue building a sustained meditation practice, long after our Challenge has ended?

OPRAH WINFREY

Welcome to Day 14. The balance in silence. So we've been doing this together for two weeks, and opened our hearts and our minds to the concept of more perfect health, and the belief that it's something we can all achieve.

We've also taken our first steps together to create balance and more alignment in our daily lives. We have a new understanding of why it's so important to take care of our bodies, the vehicles for our souls. So let's give ourselves a high five on remaining committed, to our daily meditation practice. 

Settle into a comfortable space and listen as Deepak leads us to that place of silence, stillness, where we can connect with spirit, with our most heartfelt, intentions, and then take that connection, and powerful still space back into our daily lives.

DEEPAK CHOPRA

We've spent this week, talking about ways in which we can bring balance into our lives. So many of these paths to equilibrium involve changing habits, improving our heating, social, and fitness habits, for example helps us achieve balance in our lives. The sustained practice of meditation is certainly a staple of a balanced lifestyle.

Yesterday we learned how yoga asana practice helps us create a good seat for the soul, so that it's better position for meditation and its ultimate goal of spiritual enlightenment.

If you practice yoga, you likely know, how wonderful you feel throughout the day after your practice, balanced in your body, and in harmony with everyone, and everything around you. 

Asana practice is the perfect preparation for meditation, as the mind is calm, and ready to enter even greater stillness. Through meditation, we have a variety of experiences, but one that offers the greatest benefit is that we find ourselves in that place between our thoughts, called the gap, or pure consciousness. 

In the gap, we can plant the seeds of our most heartfelt intentions, and take from it the stillness of the true self back, into our activity. And we do all this without effort simply by closing our eyes, and repeating our mantra.

So, today as we prepare to meditate, let's set our own personal intentions for perfect health.

It can be anything you want but make it as specific as possible.

For instance if you want to incorporate more exercise into your life, your intention could be, I intend to walk 20 minutes every day.

Whatever is important to your well-being, create that intention, and then release it into the womb of creation, before you begin your meditation. And watch, how it manifests in your life.

Before we enter into silence, let's consider our centering thought:

I intend to take steps each day toward perfect health.

I intend to take steps each day toward perfect health.

Now let's begin, find a comfortable position, and close your eyes. Take a few moments to breathe consciously, inhaling and exhaling with awareness. Start to repeat the mantra:

OM RITAM NAMAH.

OM RITAM NAMAH.

My intentions and desires are supported by cosmic intelligence.

OM RITAM NAMAH.

If you find yourself distracted by thoughts sensations or noises just go back to mentally repeating: 

OM RITAM NAMAH.

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

OM RITAM NAMAH.

Silently now.

OM RITAM NAMAH.

~ MEDITATION ~

Please release the mantra, inhale and exhale slowly, and allow some time to rest, when you feel ready, please open your eyes.

As you move throughout your day, take the experience of the silence into your activities, and contemplate the centering thought:

I intend to take steps each day toward perfect health.

I intend to take steps each day toward perfect health.

I intend to take steps each day toward perfect health.

Namaste

TRANSCRIPT: Day 8 Perfect Health Deepak Chopra and Oprah Winfrey

Today’s meditation focuses on restoring balance and how we can become more self-aware. Throughout our days, we tend to repeat the same activities without thinking much about them. At some point though, we become aware of these habits, and later, we may even become self-aware, wondering why these habits are part of our lives and deciding whether they benefit us. Our entire journey together over these three weeks is one that will lead us to greater self-understanding. Day 8 – Restoring Balance “Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” ~ Carl Gustav Jung OUR CENTERING THOUGHT:  With awareness, I create healthy habits.

TRANSCRIPT: Day 6 Perfect Health Deepak Chopra and Oprah Winfrey

Today’s meditation (The Perfection of Your Body) centers on our bodies, which are perfect in every moment. As we learn more about the messages we send our bodies, we also become more aware of how we talk to ourselves. When we have an ache, pain, sickness, or perceived imperfection, it’s important to pay attention to these signals from our body and mind and respond with compassion. In today’s meditation, we’ll take a journey of self-awareness, traveling throughout the body and offering love, acceptance, and gratitude everywhere we go.

TRANSCRIPT: Day 4 Perfect Health Deepak Chopra and Oprah Winfrey

We’ve discovered how important it is that we pay attention to our bodies’ intuition – how our bodies speak to us. In today’s meditation: The Wisdom of Your Body, we learn that how we speak to our bodies also plays a vital role in our health and well-being. Based on how we interpret what’s happening around us, the brain and central nervous system respond by sending our cells a constant stream of messages that directly impact our physical state. Positive messages draw healthy responses from our bodies in the form of stronger immune systems and healthier sleep patterns, among many other benefits that can last a lifetime. “ The simple things are also the most extraordinary things, and only the wise can see them .” ~ Paulo Coelho OUR CENTERING THOUGHT : I trust the wisdom of my body.  OUR SANSKRIT MANTRA : OM. I am the resonance of the universe.  Questions : What messages do you tell yourself throughout the day? When faced with a difficult situation, what is one positive message yo...

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?

TRANSCRIPT: Day 11 Perfect Health Deepak Chopra and Oprah Winfrey

Welcome to day 11: Eating for Balance. While we often learn about food from external sources, Ayurveda teaches us to trust the inner wisdom of our bodies, which insightfully guides us to make the correct food choices. Eating an array of colourful foods, rich in nutrients, that also provides the six tastes – sweet, sour, salty, bitter, pungent, and astringent – helps us align our Doshas and keeps us balanced. Just as conscious breathing invites greater Prana, or energy, into our lives, so do nutritious foods and fresh, clean water. It’s important to make choices that are in tune with our bodies and eat with awareness in order to stay healthy and thrive. Day 11 — Eating for Balance “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”  ~ Hippocrates OUR CENTERING THOUGHT: I choose foods that help me thrive. OUR SANSKRIT MANTRA: Om Vardhanam Namah. I nourish the universe and the universe nourishes me . Journal Questions What are some foods your body often craves? Are they healthy and s...
