Quote

Karma is experience, and experience creates memory, and memory creates imagination and desire, and desire creates karma again. If I buy a cup of coffee, that's karma. I now have that memory that might give me the potential desire for having cappuccino, and I walk into Starbucks, and there's karma all over again.

In the past few decades, there has been a revolution in how we perceive the body. What appears to be an object, a three-dimensional anatomical structure, is actually a process, a constant flow of energy and information.
Deepak Chopra
Image
Looking for yourself is like a thirsty fish looking for water.

The accumulation of toxins in the body/mind system accelerates aging.
Deepak Chopra
Image
While the pressures of life are inevitable, if at the end of the day you are unable to completely let go of the day and return to a calm, centered inner state, you are overstressed.
Deepak Chopra
Image
When you look at the whole package of energy, the food you eat should match the story you want to live, which means: as fresh as possible, without dullness, repetition, and routine. As colorful as possible, giving delight to the eyes food is a rainbow brought down to earth. As cheerful as possible, maximizing moments of happiness and pleasure.
Deepak Chopra

Being more aware creates responsibility. What does responsibility mean? It means the ability to respond. The more conscious you are in your ability to respond, the more creative you'll be.
Deepak Chopra
Image
I think evil is our collective shadow. Each one of us has a tendency for the diabolical. If I put you in inhumane conditions, if you're not educated, if you're extremely poor, if you're humiliated, then as a child if you suffer abuse, then you will manifest even when you grow up.
Deepak Chopra

Craving security is the cause of insecurity. Freedom is knowing that the only point of arrival is now.
Deepak Chopra

When you are in the field of creativity, you lose track of time. Only the flow exists.
Deepak Chopra
Image
Survival of the fittest is over. Get over it. We need survival of the wisest.
Deepak Chopra
Image
We don't have to struggle or force situations to go our way. Instead, we can intend for everything to work out as it should, take action, and then allow opportunities to spontaneously emerge.
Deepak Chopra
Image
Your brain is always eavesdropping on your thoughts. As it listens, it leans. If you teach it about limitation, your brain will become limited...Teach your brain to be unlimited.
Deepak Chopra
Image
Let us realize that engagement and detachment aren't opposite-the more engaged we become, the more detached we will have to be.
Deepak Chopra
Image
If you had all the money and all the time in the world, what would you do?!
Deepak Chopra
Image
We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share. This is a precious moment, but it is transient. It is a little parenthesis in eternity. If we share with caring, lightheartedness, and love, we will create abundance and joy for each other. And then this moment will have been worthwhile.

The body is held together by sound. The presence of disease indicates that some sounds have gone out of tune.
Deepak Chopra

Happiness can be woven into every aspect of life once you make new choices.
Deepak Chopra

My head monk asked how it was walking. I said it hurt without shoes. And he said, 'It hurts on the foot that's down, but the one that's up feels really good - so focus on that one'.
Deepak Chopra
Image
We are who we are, and when you accept people instead of trying to change them to fit your needs, your relationships can fully blossom.
Deepak Chopra

Being fully in the present, you experience the timeless. In the timeless, you find your true self.
