The subtler one's awareness, the more powerfully it can heal.

What this quote means

In this quote, Deepak Chopra emphasizes that maintaining lifelong good health involves allowing our bodies to function naturally and intuitively, rather than constantly forcing external solutions or interventions. He suggests that we should listen to our bodies, respect their innate processes, and create conditions that support our health, rather than trying to control it excessively.

According to Vedanta, there are only two symptoms of enlightenment, just two indications that a transformation is taking place within you toward a higher consciousness. The first symptom is that you stop worrying. Things don't bother you anymore. You become light hearted and full of joy. The second symptom is that you encounter more and more meaningful coincidences in your life, more and more synchronicities. And this accelerates to the point where you actually experience the miraculous.

I will practice acceptance. Today I will accept people, situations, circumstances, and events as they occur. I will know that this moment is as it should be, because the whole universe is as it should be. I will not struggle against the whole universe by struggling against this moment. My acceptance is total and complete. I accept things as they are this moment, not as I wish they were.

This was a big rebuke to all of us working in public health and health care in Haiti.

What we are drawn to in this imperfect science, what we in fact covet in our way, is the alterable moment-the fragile but crystalline opportunity for one's know-how, ability, or just gut instinct to change the course of another's life for the better.
