Quote

Any drug can be used successfully, no matter how bad it's reputation, and any drug can be abused, no matter how accepted it is. There are no good or bad rugs there are only good and bad relationships with drugs.

Image
Another aspect of the psychedelic vision for me that has been very profound, is the sense that every-thing is alive or at that at least, there is no distinction between what we call living and non-living.
Andrew Weil
Image
The usual justification for eating extra meals is that it keeps the metabolism revved up so that weight loss is easier. There is, however, very little hard evidence that supports this idea, and a fair amount that disputes it.
Andrew Weil
Image
We need to accept the seemingly obvious fact that a toxic environment can make people sick and that no amount of medical intervention can protect us. The health care community must become a powerful political lobby for environmental policy and legislation.

Learning to focus attention and concentration is very useful meditation can help you do that.
Andrew Weil
Image
Many exercise forms - aerobic, yoga, weights, walking and more - have been shown to benefit mood.
Andrew Weil
Image
For many in the modern world, carving out time for both traditional seated meditation and exercise has become close to impossible.

There's no single more powerful or simpler daily practice to further your health and well being than breath work.

I think instead [of happiness] we should be working for contentment... an inner sense of fulfillment that's relatively independent of external circumstances.
Andrew Weil
Image
I am not against all forms of high-tech medicine. Drugs and surgeries have a secure place in the treatment of serious health conditions. But modern American medicine treats almost every health condition as if it were an emergency.

Image
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.

Health is wholeness--wholeness in its most profound sense, with nothing left out and everything in just the right order to manifest the mystery of balance. Far from being simply the absence of disease, health is a dynamic and harmonious equilibrium of all the elements and forces making up and surrounding a human being.

Image
Short naps are good. Given modern workplace demands, this is not possible for many people - but if you have the option, try napping for ten to twenty minutes in the afternoon, preferably lying down in a darkened room.
Andrew Weil
Image
Fitting a walk into a busy life can be challenging, so I suggest walking rather driving to work or to run errands as often as you can - in other words, think of walking as alternative transportation.
Andrew Weil
Image
The most common objection that I hear to walking as exercise is that it's too easy, that only sweaty, strenuous activity offers real benefits. But there is abundant evidence that regular, brisk walking is associated with better health, including lower blood pressure, better moods and improved cholesterol ratios.

Happiness is a skill. It requires effort and time.

Image
I'm not against high-tech medicine. It has a secure place in the diagnosis and treatment of serious disease.

Image
I'm still not comfortable recommending that people eat saturated fat with abandon, but it's clear to me that sugar, flour and oxidized seed oils create inflammatory effects in the body that almost certainly bear most of the responsibility for elevating heart disease risk.
Andrew Weil
Image
Human bodies are designed for regular physical activity. The sedentary nature of much of modern life probably plays a significant role in the epidemic incidence of depression today. Many studies show that depressed patients who stick to a regimen of aerobic exercise improve as much as those treated with medication.
Andrew Weil

The notion that a human being should be constantly happy is a uniquely modern, uniquely American, uniquely destructive idea.

Our feet are our body's connection to the earth.
