Perfect Health by Deepak Chopra was published in 1991 and offers a complete guide to perfect health though diet, daily routines, exercise and relief from stress. Combined with the most ancient of medicinal systems, Ayurveda, Dr. Chopra wants us to align our minds, bodies and spirit so that we are more in tune with the world around us so that we can address the factors that are making us not well.

The quest for something more drives each and every one of us each day. If there was not something else out there to strive for why would we get out of bed? Too many times people accept there lot in life because they do not have the imagination or desire to make the effort to improve themselves. Dr. Chopra began his investigation into the ancient art of Ayurvedic healing after observing several of his patient’s recover from cancer when only given a few months to live. He even asks the question as to why when our body heals a broken arm do we not consider it a miracle like we do when someone miraculously recovers from cancer of any kind.

Deepak Chopra is an endocrinologist that was Chief of Staff at the New England Memorial Hospital in Massachusetts. While dissatisfied with the benefits of Western medicine, Dr. Chopra met the Maharishi Yogi who introduced him to the concepts of ancient Indian healing and meditation. Dr. Chopra was a great student and learned quickly. He is the leading proponent of Ayurvedic medicine which is a combination of different healing practices. It is a holistic system that looks at the body as a whole system not just the part that has a problem.

Buddhists believe that heaven and hell are not permanent concepts. They feel that it is not reasonable to condemn someone to eternal damnation due to the weakness of the human spirit. Buddhists can work there way up from hell by using the merit that they have acquired in previous lives to make hell a temporary resting place.

Siddhartha Gotama was born a prince in 6th century Northern India. “Buddha” was given to him once He had reached Enlightenment and knew the Truth. Buddha means “awakened” or “enlightened one”. His family was wealthy and he grew up in luxury. Both sides of his family were of pure lineage and he was heir to the throne. At age sixteen as was custom he was married by arrangement to his cousin Yasodhara. They had a son named Rahula. Despite having an idyllic life he was not content and felt trapped like a bird in a gilded cage.

Neuroplasticity refers to the altering of neurons and the organization (or reorganization) of networks and pathways. Essentially, neuroplasticity refers to the “plasticity” of the brain. The brain is made of nerve cells (called neurons and glial cells) and they all interconnect in such intricate ways that even everything we know as the Internet cannot compare.

Neuroplasticity is a term used to describe a particular brain function, namely, the brain’s ability to change and adapt. This means the brain’s ability to reorganize itself by generating new neurons and forming new pathways and networks. The process also changes what areas control which functions. Why does neuroplasticity occur? It occurs in direct response to stimuli.

(Even surpassing the idea of medication.)

Neuroplasticity, simply put, refers to the altering of neurons as well as the organization of neural networks that takes place inside the brain. Though originally introduced in the late 19th century, it has only recently begun to garner serious consideration. Why is everyone so excited about the possibility of neuroplasticity? Because studies in this field are showing positive signs that the brain can repair itself and form new connections for adaptive purposes.

In recent years, there has been a trend of westerners embracing Eastern philosophies. Ironically enough, the science of western civilization has started to borrow from eastern religious philosophy. Take the example of mindfulness. Mindfulness is entirely an eastern concept, having been derived from Buddhist teachings. Buddha once taught that attaining mindfulness is a key factor in finding the path to true enlightenment.
