Deepak Chopra, M.D.
Dr Deepak Chopra prescribes 10 simple rules for ageing with health and
happiness in his "most optimistic book" Ageless Body, Timeless Mind - A
Quantum alternative to growing old. Here's an interpretation:
1. Intake fresh food, eat frugally, drink wholesome liquids, abstain from
stimulants and sedatives, and have a bowel movement once a day.
2. Maintain a high level of personal hygiene, get plenty of fresh air,
sunlight and rest, have enjoyable leisure time, satisfying hobbies.
3. Exercise, meditate, practice balanced refined breathing (pranayam) and
yoga, listen to the body's signal of comfort and discomfort.
4. Work for a happy marriage, long-term relationship, have ability to
laugh easily and to make friends and keep close friends.
5. Choose a congenial occupation, go on vacation every year, be optimistic
about the future, feel financially secure and live within means.
6. Develop an easygoing personality, cultivate nonviolent behavior, have
reverence for life.
7. Live in temperate climate, enjoy a reasonable sex life, and get proper
medical attention in case of illness.
8. Live in the present - accept what comes your way, appreciate it, learn
from it and let go. Resisting the natural flow of things causes negative
emotions.
9. Relinquish external approval, avoid being judgmental, replace
fear-motivated behavior with love-motivated one, nurture positive emotions
and express them freely.
10. Always know the world outside is a reflection of your deeper
intelligence - the real "you" is within.
"You can see that consciousness conceives, constructs, and become matter,
not only in your brain but in the rest of your body, and of course through
your body you experience the Universe. Before you actually have any
perception of the Universe, it too is a radically ambiguous and
ceaselessly flowing quantum soup. It has no material existence other than
in your consciousness. Without your consciousness, it would be an energy
and information soup." - Deepak Chopra, M.D.
