About Deepak Chopra

Time Magazine heralded Deepak Chopra as one of the 100 heroes and icons of the century, and credited him as "the poet-prophet of alternative medicine." Entertainment Weekly described Deepak Chopra as "Hollywood's man of the moment, one of publishing's best-selling and most prolific self-help authors." He is the author of more than 50 books and more than 100 audio, video and CD-Rom titles. He has been published on every continent and in dozens of languages.

His mission of "bridging the technological miracles of the west with the wisdom of the east" remains his thrust and provides the basis for his recognition as one of India's historically greatest ambassadors to the west. Chopra has been a keynote speaker at several academic institutions including Harvard Medical School, Harvard Business School, Harvard Divinity School, Kellogg School of Management, Stanford Business School and Wharton.His latest book is "Reinventing the Body, Resurrecting the Soul."

    We need to follow a natural process which brings us closer to permanent state of happiness.

    We need to follow a process which reduces our dependence on artificial momentary happiness.

    Any process which gives us happiness without bad side effects or bad hangover and with minimum use of artificial aid is best for us to follow.

    Kabbalah and meditation are deeply compatible. There are many Jewish meditative techniques. Rabbi Nachman taught a meditation technique of walking out in nature amongst the reeds as the Hebrew words for soul and reeds were closely related. Some use Hebrew prayer such as the Shema Yisrael as a meditative mantra. My own meditative practice as desribed in my book Everywoman a Goddess: Everyman a Hero in Her Service. weaves together Hebrew, English and Sanskrit reflecting my own syncretistic path. The word Kabbalah means to receive and it is the study of how to receive Divine inspiration or access Divine Unitary Consciousness or the Schechinah in Hebrew.

    Enjoy your path,

    love and light,

    hi Stuart,

    What is the Hebrew word for reeds, do you know?

    From what I have noticed, Neshama (soul) is close to the word Neshima (breath)…
