Deepak Chopra and Intent

Anyone who equates myth with superstition would claim that we live in a world that has gone beyond mythology. Science is proud of vanquishing superstition, and a certain vocal contingent of atheists use science to bolster their belief that God is pure superstition. However, mythology is harder to vanquish that that. It crops up in…

I found my eyes opened, along with my mind, by an intriguing book, The View from the Center of the Universe, by Joel R. Primack, a distinguished physicist at the University of California Santa Cruz, and his wife, Nancy Ellen Abrams, an excellent writer. There have been a spate of books extending our concept of…

You might have heard the expression “You’re as young as your arteries,” and it’s true. But keeping your arteries young can seem like a mysterious thing for many people, as much as they feel inundated by an unending stream of research findings. Now some clarity is at hand, and it’s worth pausing to consider. The…

President Barack Obama is already pulling a bit of a hat trick, managing to sustain higher popularity than either George Bush or Ronald Reagan when they were stuck in economic doldrums. The bad economy pulls down his ratings on job performance, and this reflects the frustration of the public and widespread discouragement about the future.…

        Brought to you by Deepak Chopra, MD,Alexander Tsiaras, and TheVisualMD.com     Each year, nearly 450,000 Americans die from smoking related illnesses.

An uncomfortable burning sensation creeps into the throat or chest, and it doesn’t go away…

When a President is caught in a damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t vise – as President Obama was during the debt ceiling crisis – it’s tempting not to let him go. The right wing certainly feels that way, but the discourse on the left seems to be on the same track. Maybe…

  Brought to you by Deepak Chopra, MD,Alexander Tsiaras, and TheVisualMD.com   Your knee joints are one of the unsung heroes of your body. If you’re like the average American, you take just over 5,000 steps a day, and each one of those steps places a force equal to 3-to-6 times your body weight on your knee joints. It’s no wonder that by…

In the first post I began to talk about the spiritual side of stress. That’s such an unusual approach that it might be good to review stress more conventionally first. Stress is made more complicated because mind and body are involved. The so-called stress response is a temporary event with physical markers such as a…
