M.D. Deepak Chopra – författare

I want to convince you that you are much more than your limited body, ego, and personality. In reality, the field of human life is open and unbounded. At its deepest level, your body is ageless, your mind is timeless. Once you identify with that reality, which is consistent with the quantum worldview, aging will fundamentally change.

As elegant as his bestselling How to Know God and as practical as his phenomenal The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, this groundbreaking new book from Deepak Chopra contains a dramatic premise: Not only are everyday coincidences meaningful, they actually provide us with glimpses of the field of infinite possibilities that lies at the heart of all things. By gaining access to this wellspring of creation, we can literally rewrite our destinies in any way we wish.From this realm of pure potential we are connected to everything that exists and everything that is yet to come. “Coincidences” can then be recognized as containing precious clues about particular facets of our lives that require our attention. As you become more aware of coincidences and their meanings, you begin to connect more and more with the underlying field of infinite possibilities. This is when the magic begins. This is when you achieve the spontaneous fulfillment of desire.At a time when world events may leave us feeling especially insignificant and vulnerable, Deepak Chopra restores our awareness of the awesome powers within us. And through specific principles and exercises he provides the tools with which to create the magnificent, miraculous life that is our birthright.From the Hardcover edition.

A decade ago, Deepak Chopra, M.D., wrote Perfect Health, the first practical guide to harnessing the healing power of the mind, which became a national bestseller. The book described how breakthroughs in physics and medicine were underscoring the validity of a 5,000-year-old medical system from ancient India known as Ayurveda ("the knowledge of life span" in Sanskrit). Perfect Health went on to describe how to apply the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda to everyday life. In celebration of this classic work we have created this new edition, revised and updated to include the latest medical research.Although we experience our bodies as solid, they are in fact more like fires that are constantly being consumed and renewed. We grow new stomach linings every five days, for instance. Our skin is new every five weeks. Each year, fully 98 percent of the total number of atoms in our bodies is replaced. Ayurveda gives us the tools to intervene at this quantum level, where we are being created anew each day. Ayurveda tells us that freedom from sickness depends on contacting our own awareness, bringing it into balance, and then extending that balance to the body.Perfect Health provides a complete step-by-step program of mind body medicine tailored to individual needs. A quiz identifies the reader''s mind body type: thin, restless Vata; enterprising, efficient Pitta; tranquil, steady Kapha; or any combination of these three. This body type becomes the basis for a specific Ayurvedic program of diet, stress reduction, neuromuscular integration, exercise, and daily routines. The result is a total plan, tailor-made for each individual, to reestablish the body''s essential balance with nature; to strengthen the mind body connection; and to use the power of quantum healing to transcend the ordinary limitations of disease and aging--in short, for achieving Perfect Health.From the Trade Paperback edition.

No love is more consuming and passionate than that one has for God. And nothing is more beautiful than that love when it is expressed as poetry.In The Soul in Love, Deepak Chopra presents us with five great writers whose lives span seven centuries: Rumi, the sublime Persian poet who sang out his verses in ecstatic longing for God. Mirabai, an Indian princess who walked away from her life of privilege to be closer to her Dark Lord. Kabir, born to a lowly family of weavers in India, only to rise to the heights of wisdom and song. Hafiz, an Islamic master who reveled in the joys of the flesh as a way to the soul. And Tagore, the celebrated modern Indian writer who first made the West aware of the richness of Eastern devotional poetry. Returning to the theme that inspired The Love Poems of Rumi and On the Shores of Eternity, Deepak Chopra gives us a rapturous experience of human passion, inspired by the soul’s yearning for the sacred source of love. "Immortal love doesn’t need poetry. However, it is our good fortune that some of the God-intoxicated have written words that permit access into their ecstatic world. Particularly in the East, in that exotically woven belt of lands that stretches from Arabia to the Indian subcontinent, poets and saints are never far apart. In this collection I have gathered a few of the most revered, beginning in the medieval period and extending to this century. The name of Rumi has gathered much luster recently, but the others — Kabir, Hafiz, Tagore, and Mirabai — deserve just as much recognition. In their own cultures they stand as beacons of inspiration, largely because the common people have taken them into their hearts and continue joyfully to sing their words to this very day."— From the IntroductionFrom the Hardcover edition.

Life is full of challenges, both big and small. Spirituality is here to offer solutions. Over the course of his career as physician, teacher, and bestselling author, Deepak Chopra has received thousands of questions from people facing every kind of challenge. They have asked how to lead more fulfilling lives, how to overcome relationship problems and personal obstacles. What’s the best way to deal with a passive-aggressive friend? Can a stagnant career be jump-started? In a world full of distractions and stress, how does one find time for meditation? Hidden among all of these questions are answers waiting to be uncovered. In this groundbreaking book, Chopra shows you how to expand your awareness, which is the key to the confusion and conflict we all face. “The secret is that the level of the problem is never the level of the solution,” he writes. By rising to the level of the solution in your own awareness, you can transform obstacles into opportunities. Chopra leads the reader to what he calls “the true self,” where peace, clarity, and wisdom serve as guides in times of crisis. For Chopra, spirituality is primarily about consciousness, not about religious dogma or relying on the conventional notion of God. “There is no greater power for success and personal growth than your own awareness.” With practical insight, Spiritual Solutions provides the tools and strategies to enable you to meet life’s challenges from within and to experience a sense of genuine fulfillment and purpose.

“Todo lo que tememos y deseamos cambiar puede transformarse mediante la felicidad, nuestro más simple anhelo y también el más profundo”. –Deepak Chopra La felicidad es algo que todos deseamos, pero cómo encontrarla sigue siendo un misterio. En La receta de la felicidad, Deepak Chopra nos muestra siete claves para descubrir los verdaderos secretos de la alegría, llevándonos en un inspirador viaje hacia nuestro yo verdadero, el único lugar indiferente a los problemas y las desgracias.  “La finalidad de la vida es la expansión de la felicidad”, nos dice Chopra. Pero en el exigente mundo de hoy, lograr esta meta puede parecer difícil, si no completamente fuera de nuestro alcance. La sociedad refuerza la creencia de que la satisfacción es el resultado del éxito, la riqueza y las buenas relaciones. Sin embargo, Chopra nos enseña que lo contrario es cierto: todo el éxito en la vida es el producto de la felicidad, no la causa.Entonces, ¿cuál es la causa? La receta de la felicidad comparte los principios espirituales de una vida basada en el yo verdadero que existe en cada uno de nosotros, un sentido que se encuentra más allá del ir y venir de la vida diaria, y unos simples ejercicios a través de los que podremos eliminar las causas de la infelicidad y alcanzar un nivel de alegría más profundo. Y después de que todas las vías hacia la felicidad se hayan explorado, sólo quedará una ruta: el viaje hacia la iluminación. En La receta de la felicidad, el intimidante reto de encontrar la felicidad se convierte accesible paso a paso.

¿Quién es Jesucristo?En El tercer Jesús, Deepak Chopra, el líder espiritual y autor de grandes éxitos literarios, nos da una respuesta que, además de edificante, desafía las creencias actuales y da una perspectiva nueva de lo que Jesús puede enseñarnos a todos.No hay un solo Jesús, escribe Chopra, sino tres. En primer lugar, hay un Jesús histórico, el hombre de carne y hueso que vivió hace dos mil años y cuyas enseñanzas constituyen la base de la teología y del pensamiento cristianos. El segundo Jesús es el hijo de Dios, que ha llegado a encarnar una religión institucionalizada con devotos creyentes. Y detrás de esas dos imágenes se encuentra el tercer Jesús, el Cristo cósmico, el guía espiritual cuyas enseñanzas se dirigen a toda la humanidad. Es el Jesús que habla a los individuos que desean encontrar a Dios como experiencia personal y alcanzar la iluminación espiritual.Al interpretar el Nuevo Testamento de una nueva manera, y al volver a lo esencial del mensaje de Jesús, El tercer Jesús puede realmente transformar nuestras vidas y a la humanidad.From the Trade Paperback edition.

TRASCIENDE LOS OBSTÁCULOS QUE AFECTAN A TU CUERPO Y A TU  ESPÍRITU  15 años después de su gran clásico Cuerpos sin edad, mentes sin tiempo, Deepak Chopra revisa el “milagro olvidado”—la capacidad infinita de renovación y cambio del ser humano.  “Tu cuerpo físico es una ficción” nos dice Chopra. Cada célula está compuesta de dos elementos básicos: conciencia y energía. Aquí aprenderás a aprovechar esos elementos para cambiar los patrones de energía distorsionados que son la causa de las enfermedades y el envejecimiento. Pero la transformación no trata solo del cuerpo; debe incorporar también el alma. El alma —aparentemente invisible, distante, y apartada del mundo material— en realidad crea al cuerpo. Y solo al llegar a ella alcanzarás tu máximo potencial, y conseguirás mayor percepción, inteligencia y creatividad en todos los aspectos de tu vida.  Reinventar el cuerpo, resucitar el alma ofrece 10 pasos —cinco para el cuerpo y cinco para el alma— que nos llevarán a la auto transformación. Con su estilo claro y accesible, Chopra nos invita a vivir con él los milagros que suceden cuando conectamos el cuerpo directamente a los maravillosos misterios que dan sentido y significado a la vida— directamente al alma.From the Trade Paperback edition.

THE LANDMARK BESTSELLER—NOW COMPLETELY REVISED AND UPDATED   More than twenty-five years ago, Quantum Healing helped transform Deepak Chopra into a cultural phenomenon. Now Dr. Chopra, hailed by Time as “the poet-prophet of alternative medicine,” returns to this groundbreaking work, adding the latest scientific research as well as expanded thoughts on the connection between body and mind.   Inspired by the unexplained recovery of patients in his own practice who had been given just a few months to live, Dr. Chopra began his search for answers. After returning to his native India to explore humanity’s most ancient healing tradition, Ayurveda, he combined those insights with Western medicine, neuroscience, and physics. What he discovered—a “network of intelligence” in the human body with the potential to defeat cancer, heart disease, even aging itself—forms the basis of Quantum Healing. In this new edition, Dr. Chopra once again offers a fascinating intellectual journey and a deeply moving chronicle of hope and healing.   Praise for Quantum Healing   “Quantum Healing didn’t set out to cure cancer or Alzheimer’s or any other intractable disease. It set out to see the human body, and human existence in general, through wiser eyes. As a scientist I’m passionate about genes and the brain; as a person I’m totally fascinated by the origins of consciousness. Quantum Healing galvanized my intuition that these areas do not have to be separated.”—Dr. Rudolph Tanzi, from the new foreword   “Deepak Chopra illuminates our true innate capacity for healing, growth, and evolution. With the wisdom of an experienced doctor, girded by science, he guides us to reclaim our natural power towards thriving. Chopra’s work is paradigm-changing for medicine and helpful beyond measure for every human being seeking to evolve, flourish, and know our true nature.”—Lisa Miller, Ph.D., author of The Spiritual Child and director of clinical psychology, Teachers College, Columbia University

Si Dios tiene futuro, dice Deepak Chopra, debemos encontrar un nuevo acercamiento a la espiritualidad; debemos repensar nuestro lugar en el universo. Si Dios tiene futuro, deberemos tener una mejor vida. Este libro tiene la respuesta.   Dios está en problemas. El fortalecimiento del movimiento ateísta esparcido por Richard Dawkins significa, para muchos, que la divinidad está pasada de moda en el mundo moderno. ¿Qué habría que hacer para que tengamos una vida espiritual más poderosa que en el pasado? Deepak Chopra nos muestra el camino con elocuencia y profundidad; propone que Dios está en el origen de la conciencia humana, por lo tanto, todos lo podemos encontrar y transformar nuestro día a día.   Por tres décadas, Deepak Chopra ha inspirado a millones de personas a través de su escritura y su enseñanza. Con ¿Tiene futuro Dios? nos invita a un viaje del espíritu, dándonos una vía práctica para entender a ese ser superior y dónde estamos. Ahora es el momento de tomar fuerzas. Es el momento de renovarnos. Ahora es el futuro.

¿Por qué algunas personas nunca se enferman y lucen radiantes a pesar de los años? ¿Por qué, por otro lado, una celebridad se hace una doble mastectomía sin signo alguno de enfermedad? La respuesta está en nuestra herencia: nos asustan nuestros genes. “No sólo eres la suma de tu genoma —dicen Chopra y Tanzi—, sino que eres el usuario y el inventor de ese genoma; eres el autor de tu propia historia”.Durante años se ha creído que los genes son componentes fijos en nuestro cuerpo que determinan nuestro destino biológico. Ahora la ciencia demuestra lo contrario: siempre tendremos esos elementos originarios, pero éstos son dinámicos y responden a lo que pensamos, decimos y hacemos. De pronto nuestros genes se convierten en nuestros aliados más fuertes en lo referente a nuestra transformación personal y nuestro bienestar radical. Los autores del bestseller Supercerebro sugieren que cambiando nuestra dieta y nuestro estilo de vida podemos modificar la predisposición genética hacia las enfermedades, y nos invitan a adoptar prácticas védicas ancestrales como el yoga, la respiración y la meditación para crear los cambios internos que necesitamos. Gracias a la combinación de investigación científica y tradiciones antiguas, los autores nos demuestran que no estamos a merced de nuestra herencia. Por el contrario, tenemos el poder de redirigir nuestros genes para tener más salud y ser más felices. El ADN humano aún tiene muchos secretos por descubrir; finalmente, el cuerpo humano no es lo que parece ser.
