Even when you think you have your life all mapped out, things happen that shape your destiny in ways you might never have imagined.
Deepak ChopraThe goal of all goals is happiness, and our emotions are like road signs on that journey toward the goal of happiness.
Deepak ChopraYoga stimulates different nerves in your body, especially the Vagus nerve that carries information from the brain to most of the body's major organs, slows everything down and allows self-regulation. It's the nerve that is associated with the parasympathetic system and emotions like love, joy and compassion.
Deepak ChopraThe trees are our lungs, the rivers our circulation, the air our breath, and the earth our body.
Deepak ChopraI was influenced by the political environment of our country that has just gained freedom from British colonialism. And the seminal figures in that environment were Mahatma Gandhi, who had been assassinated shortly after I was born, but nevertheless dominated the collective psyche of the country. And of course there were other statesmen who were very much part of the culture we knew as well as looked upon by society as leaders, and mentors, and people that inspires us to have a vision for idealism.
