Limit or eliminate late-night computer and television viewing. A computer or TV screen may seem much dimmer than a light bulb, but these screens often fill your field of vision, mimicking the effects of a room filled with light.

For many in the modern world, carving out time for both traditional seated meditation and exercise has become close to impossible.

A beautiful bouquet or a long-lasting flowering plant is a traditional gift for women, but I have recommended that both men and women keep fresh flowers in the home for their beauty, fragrance, and the lift they give our spirits.

Everyone prefers some foods over others, but some adults take this tendency to an extreme. These people tend to prefer the kinds of bland food they may have enjoyed as children - such as plain or buttered pasta, macaroni and cheese, cheese pizza, French fries and grilled cheese sandwiches - and to restrict their eating to just a few dishes.

I've always been called controversial. I think if I were not controversial I wouldn't be doing my job.

Pay attention to your body. The point is everybody is different. You have to figure out what works for you.
Andrew Weil

Please keep in mind the distinction between healing and treatment: treatment originates from outside, whereas healing comes from within.

Each day as I travel through downtown Tucson, I am amazed at how quickly the most ancient of human behaviors have changed. For as long as there have been Homo sapiens - roughly 200,000 years - people have filled their lives principally with two activities: talking directly with other people, and doing physical things.

Among other things, neuroplasticity means that emotions such as happiness and compassion can be cultivated in much the same way that a person can learn through repetition to play golf and basketball or master a musical instrument, and that such practice changes the activity and physical aspects of specific brain areas.

Human beings have survived for millennia because most of us make good decisions about our health most of the time.

Even low-calorie diets and vigorous exercise fail to work in the long term for at least some people.
