We want lifelong good health and an end to fearing the aging process. By combining the fruits of modern neuroscience and timeless wisdom, you can achieve those goals. That is what your brain is designed for. The key is realizing that you are the user of your brain.
Deepak Chopra
Image
Life is the coexistence of all opposite values. Joy and sorrow, pleasure and pain, up and down, hot and cold, here and there, light and darkness, birth and death. All experience is by contrast, and one would be meaningless without the other.
Deepak Chopra
Image
The universe has much bigger plans for you than you ever dreamed of for yourself.
Deepak Chopra

Even though we all have genetic predispositions, our health and aging aren't predetermined.
Deepak Chopra
Image
The reason that ego and love are not compatible comes down to this: you cannot take your ego into the unknown, where love wants to lead. If you follow love, your life will become uncertain, and the ego craves certainty.
Deepak Chopra
Image
Giving and receiving are different expressions of the same flow of energy in the universe.
Deepak Chopra
Image
Despite what you've been conditioned to believe, sexual desire is sacred and virtuous. When you and your beloved merge physically and emotionally, you go beyond the boundaries of the ego and experience timelessness, naturalness, playfulness and defenselessness .
Deepak Chopra

Be kind to yourself and others. Come from love every moment you can.
