Genuine happiness comes from within, and often it comes in spontaneous feelings of joy.
Andrew Weil

Technology has a shadow side. It accounts for real progress in medicine, but has also hurt it in many ways, making it more impersonal, expensive and dangerous. The false belief that a safety net of sophisticated drugs and machines stretches below us, permitting risky or lazy lifestyle choices, has undermined our spirit of self-reliance.
Andrew Weil
Image
For many in the modern world, carving out time for both traditional seated meditation and exercise has become close to impossible.
Andrew Weil
Image
Drugs don't have spiritual potential, human beings have spiritual potential. And it may be that we need techniques to move us in that direction, and the use of psychoactive drugs clearly is one path that has helped many people.

It is unrealistic to want to be happy all the time.
Andrew Weil

I find that low protein diets often contribute to improvement in patients with immune system problems ... In fact, it would be hard to become deficient in protein in our country even if you tried.
Andrew Weil
Image
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.
Andrew Weil

Healing is making whole, restoring a state of perfection and balance that has been lost.
Andrew Weil

The World Health Organization has recognized acupuncture as effective in treating mild to moderate depression.

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.

The more easily digestible and refined the carbohydrates, the greater the effect on our health, weight and well-being.

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

Gardening is not trivial. If you believe that it is, closely examine why you feel that way. You may discover that this attitude has been forced upon you by mass media and the crass culture it creates and maintains. The fact is, gardening is just the opposite - it is, or should be, a central, basic expression of human life.
