You can heal your body - Deepak Chopra

"Mind is invisible body and body is visible mind - Osho"

Deepak Chopra is an American author, public speaker and an alternative medicine advocate. He promotes Ayurveda, Meditation and positive affirmations for healing. He is the author of many  best selling books including Ageless Body Timeless Mind and Quantum Healing. 

Quantum healing is a book filled with miraculous healing of people, where the modern science have failed to cure them. The term 'quantum healing' was coined by Deepak Chopra. In the Quantum world, everything is seen as energy. As per Bruce Lipton, "What quantum physics teaches us is that everything we thought was physical is not physical". Even our human body is made up of energy. As per Deepak, a person can attain "Perfect health" by altering their thoughts and feelings positively.

In the book Quantum Healing, Deepak Chopra asks an interesting question "Why, when your body mends a broken arm, is it not considered a miracle, but when your body rids itself of a disease, it is ?".As per him the human body's intelligence is capable of doing much more than we actually think.  

It is the Infinite intelligence that made a single cell into a human body. If we trust the same infinite intelligence, it can heal our body. However, we need to provide a proper environment and support to the human body and mind to heal itself. Deepak chopra strongly believes that each and every cell in our human body have intelligence and wisdom to heal itself. He proves his point in his book "Quantum healing" with lots of real life examples of the persons who have healed themselves miraculously. 

All the cells in our body are replaced with a new one for every three months.We have a new liver every 6 weeks. Every cells in our body have consciousness and listens continuously to what your mind says. Dr.Bruce Lipton have proved to this world how our thoughts and the environment can change the genes, in his best selling book "Biology of Belief". As per Bruce Lipton, "Epigenetics reveals that we are not "victims" of our genes, but are in fact "masters" of our genes".

Below are some of the tips shared by Deepak chopra during his TED Talk for a healthier version of "You" : 

1. Sleep - When you sleep, your body rejuvenates itself. So, have a proper peaceful sleep daily. 
2. Meditation - Meditation can keep you young. It helps in self- healing. It can also change the genes and makes you healthy. 
3. Move - Keep moving your body as much as possible. 
4. Emotional Well being - Joy, Peace, love, compassion, etc will help to secrete hormones like Oxytocin, endhorphis, serotonin, dopamine etc and helps in healing our body. 
5. Diet - Natural Diet that includes lots of fruits and vegetables can help to heal your body. 

We have 600 trillion cells in your body.  Only 10% of the cells are from human body. Rest 90% are of microbiome. All of these cells are working together as a eco-system. You are walking bacterial colony with few human cells in it. As per D.BM Hedge if you know this truth, you won't have the ego "I". He goes on states that "I stands for illness and We stands for Wellness".  He also recommends to shower love and compassion to have a healthy heart and body.
