Synopsis
Dr Deepak Chopra was born and raised in Dubai, India. The son of a prominent cardiologist, he attended one of India's most prestigious medical schools to embark on a career in western medicine. After graduating he moved to the United States and completed residencies in internal medicine and endocrinology. He taught at Tufts University and Boston University Schools of Medicine, became Chief of staff at New England Memorial Hospital, and established a large private practise in Boston. However, during this time despite hi apparent success, he noticed a growing lack of self fulfillment and the nagging question, "Am I doing all I can for my patients?" It was these doubts which led him to Ayurveda - the 6,000 year old science of healing from his homeland. Dr Chopra immediately realised that here was a system of health care that actually treated the whole person - a system whose guiding principle is that the mind exerts the deepest influence on the body. The word "Ayurveda" is Sanskrit, "Ayur" meaning "life" and "veda" meaning "knowledge or science". Literally then Ayurveda means the knowledge of life or the science of prolonging life. Here's how it works...Illness comes from being out of balance, and wellness returns when you get back in balance. Stay balanced and you'll experience ecstasy, joy and connectedness. And your mind will acquire a new awesome power.

Magical Mind, Magical Body
A well produced, concise and and practical introduction to Ayurvedic healing. This is a worthwhile acquisition to explore the amazing self-healing powers of the body in a context of sound common sense. It offers the opportunity to learn, apply and enjoy the benefits of a healthier way of life. Presented with encouragement and humour and with an accompanying booklet the tapes can be used individually or in groups.
For anyone involved in 'healing' I would consider it an invaluable asset that can be returned to again and again without losing any of its freshness and interest.
