Welcome to day 18: Living Passion. Passion is energy. It’s the power that comes from focusing on what really excites you. When we live with enthusiasm, we fully engage our brains and bodies in our activities, building new pathways that foster health and well-being.

One way to ensure that we live with passion is to find our dharma, our life’s true purpose, through which we can serve our community and ourselves in deeply meaningful ways. Engaging in life in this way helps keep our minds active and sharp, and strengthens our relationships with everyone we meet.

Day 18 — Living Passion

“Freedom lies in being bold.” ~ Robert Frost

OUR CENTERING THOUGHT:

I live my life with passion and enthusiasm.

OUR SANSKRIT MANTRA:

Om  Varunam Namah.

My life is in harmony with cosmic law.

Journal Questions

What are the things you are most passionate about?

How do you feel when you engage in those activities that truly excite you?

Envision a day spent dedicated to living your passion. What does that day look like, feel like?


OPRAH WINFREY

Welcome to Day 18. Living passion. Well, we all want to live our lives with more enthusiasm and passion, and being excited about what we do every day, and sharing our gifts with the world, that's how we cultivate joy, and energy. 

Passion is energy, it's the power that comes from focusing on what excites you, and when you find something that you're truly passionate about, it feels like breathing, it's so natural.

We each have a calling, I know that for sure, and that calling for everybody is as unique as a fingerprint. And that calling is what leads you to your passion. 

Discover what ignites your passion that's your real job here on earth, let it light you up and then find a way to share that with other people.

Honour your calling, your life's true purpose.

And in this way you find happiness and success.

So get still, listen Deepak, is going to guide us, on the journey to discover our true purpose, and live our lives with more passion, and then we'll meditate together.

DEEPAK CHOPRA

Everyone has a special purpose in life, which in sanskrit is called Dharma. And we each possess a unique talent, with a unique way of expressing it.

For every unique talent, an expression of that gift, there are also unique needs, just waiting for us to fulfil them.

When we offer our Dharma and service to others, we experience the ecstasy, and exaltation of our spirit.

By asking ourselves how can I help, how can I serve, using my unique talents, we are able to move beyond the ego, and into the realm of true spirit that part of our awareness, in which we experience our connection, with the whole universe.

Connecting with our Dharma makes our hearts sing, and time fly. We live our lives with passion and great enthusiasm, a life lived with passion brings with it many benefits, a brain that builds new pathways, toward better habits, a mind that remains sharp and active, and relationships that are rich and deeply rewarding.

When we are passionate about something, we have a positive attitude and embrace each day with a new outlook.

Finding our Dharma and taking a passionate interest, enables the whole mind body system, to be dynamic and rejuvenating.

This level of self-awareness allows us to be spontaneous, and free, open to surprise, and more in step with the rhythm of the cosmos.

As we get ready to begin our meditation, let's contemplate our centering thought:

I lived my life with passion and enthusiasm.

I lived my life with passion and enthusiasm.

Let's begin.

Have a seat and close your eyes.

Inhale, and exhale, slowly and deeply.

Start to repeat today's mantra, silently to yourself:

OM VARUNAM NAMAH. My life is in harmony with cosmic law.

OM VARUNAM NAMAH.

Continue repeating the mantra, just mentally:

OM VARUNAM NAMAH.

If you have thoughts hear noises, or have feelings in your body, just repeat the mantra:

OM VARUNAM NAMAH.

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

OM VARUNAM NAMAH.

OM VARUNAM NAMAH.

Just in the mind.

~ MEDITATION ~

Release the mantra allow yourself some time to rest. 

When you feel ready please open your eyes.

Throughout your day consider our centering thought:

I lived my life with passion and enthusiasm.

I lived my life with passion and enthusiasm.

I lived my life with passion and enthusiasm.

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.

Every thought we have manifests as matter in our bodies, which is why it is so important that we send ourselves positive messages. 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? Describe how your body feels when you eat a non-healthy meal. What does it feel like when you have ...

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...
