Day 17 Manifesting True Success Deepak Chopra and Oprah Winfrey

on

In Today’s Meditation (Taking Advantage of Unpredictability) we look at unpredictability in a new light. Typically we find unpredictability stress-inducing because it forces us to move out of our comfort zones of expectations, beliefs, and hopes.

A change in plans from what we hoped for is often felt like a disappointment or failure. But if we can see beyond the apparent randomness of life and recognize that a larger purpose is always being served.

Then, we can relax and welcome unpredictability, and observe how we can redirect our efforts to contribute to the bigger picture that is unfolding.

Our meditation today opens our awareness to this grand purpose of the evolving universe and its infinite creative possibilities.

Day 17 – “Taking Advantage of Unpredictability”

“If you put yourself in a situation of unpredictability and then find that it’s completely possible to accept it, then you become an observer.” ~ David Tudor

OUR CENTERING THOUGHT:

“I turn unpredictability into a creative possibility”

OUR SANSKRIT MANTRA:

“Om Purnamidam” 

I invoke the fullness of universal Being



Journal Questions

Unpredictability is recognition of the limitations of our conscious awareness, and we make friends with it by relying on our unlimited, unbounded awareness. Write about an experience in which the relaxed and open awareness after meditation allowed you to be more comfortable with an unpredictable situation.

Many people fear what is unpredictable because it feels uncontrollable. Write about something unpredictable that is a source of fear for you. Now reframe that fear as merely an unknowable future and see it as an opportunity for a creative response.

Now expand this vision by writing down how this fear serves your evolution as something that fits into and is an essential part of your larger life plan.

Reflect further on today’s experience.

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.

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 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 you could t

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.
