TRANSCRIPT: Day 17 Perfect Health Deepak Chopra and Oprah Winfrey

on

In today’s meditation: Living Creativity, we explore our creative spirit. As long as we remain open to new possibilities and a willingness to escape our routines, we can enjoy lifelong creativity. Letting go opens the door to new discoveries and enables us to feel truly alive.

Enjoy opportunities to explore free of outside opinions or artificial boundaries. Do those things that make time disappear and witness the boundless joy that flows to you.

Day 17 – Living Creativity

“You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.” ~ Plato

OUR CENTERING THOUGHT:

Through rest and play, I open my creativity Channel. 

OUR SANSKRIT MANTRA:

Om Anandham Namah.

My actions are blissfully free from attachment to the outcome.

Journal Questions:

How do you express yourself?

What creative pursuits bring you the greatest joy?

When you have free time, how do you spend it?

OPRAH WINFREY

Welcome to Day 17. Living creativity. In today's world, we're always tempted to stack, more and more stuff, more activities, more experiences, into our day. But how many of those things are for fun, it goes without saying that we often neglect to schedule a little fun, just for ourselves, I know I do my goodness. 

Yet every day brings a chance for us to draw in a breath, and kick off our shoes and even dance a little, creative expression meaning play time and downtime are really essential to having a vibrant life. And it's important that we make time for the moment that offer real joy in our lives.

Today Deepak talks with us about the importance of playtime. And how it opens our hearts and minds to limitless possibilities, to new discoveries to creative solutions, and the richness of abundance, and love. 

So relax, while Deepak shares more about the benefits of truly, having fun, then we'll enjoy our meditation together.

DEEPAK CHOPRA

How many of us, really have fun, every day, time when we do nothing, but relax, enjoy a good book, or listen to great music.

Think back to when you were a child, perhaps exploring the environs of your block or neighbourhood, every bug, plant, rock, song you sang with your childhood friends, all of it was new.

And each activity, brought with it a flood of ideas and creativity.

Experiences like these, offer glimpses of the soul, they are rooted firmly in the present, impervious to time.

As adults such experiences continue to be important, enjoying activities that have no external goals or milestones to reach, enables us to dig deep into our own reservoirs of creativity, and connect more deeply with ourselves and others.

It is through play and experimentation that some of our best ideas rise to the surface spontaneously, we make a bold discovery, have the "Aha" moment instantly visualising the solution or reconnect with our dharma, our true purpose in life.

Try to remain open to being your most creative, release your fears, follow your intuition, acknowledge the synchronicities that nudge us toward a new path, entertain diverse perspectives, and let go of rigid fixed beliefs.

Allow the past to die so that you can live in this moment, today.

Just as your body is changing in every moment, give yourself permission to choose a different way.

Each new perspective, experience, and insight, fosters new brain patterns to support our desires and goals 

and such wondrous transformations can only happen when we allow ourselves the time, and freedom to create, and recreate, every day.

Let's go now to the source of creativity, our spirit.

As we prepare to enter into silence, let's consider our centering thought:

Through rest and play I open my creative channel.

Through rest and play I open my creative channel.

Now let's prepare to meditate together. 

Sit comfortably and close your eyes.

Take a few long, slow breaths, and just relax.

Begin to introduce the mantra, saying it silently to yourself:

OM ANANDHAM NAMAH.

OM ANANDHAM NAMAH.

My actions are blissfully free from attachment to outcome.

If you have thoughts, hear noises or feel sensations, just mentally repeat the mantra:

OM ANANDHAM NAMAH.

Please continue meditating, I'll remind the time, and at the end you'll hear me ring a soft bell:

OM ANANDHAM NAMAH.

OM ANANDHAM NAMAH.

And now, just in the mind.

~ MEDITATION ~

Let go of the mantra.

And allow yourself some time to rest, then when you'd like, please open your eyes.

Throughout your day allow the mind to relax into the centering thought: 

Through rest and play I open my creative channel.

Through rest and play I open my creative channel.

Through rest and play I open my creative channel.

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.

Not only can we do this through loving self-talk, but we can also be kind to ourselves by going with the flow of our lives and accepting our circumstances in each moment.

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...
