Creating Health

An essential introduction to Deepak Chopra's theory of the healing power of the mind, Creating Health is the definitive guide to his philosophy about the mind/body connection. Blending Eastern and Western medical philosophy, Chopra puts together a clear and easy path to follow for perfect physical and emotional health. With influences from Ayurveda, the 6,000-year-old tradition of medicine from India, Chopra uses Western terminology to explain how we can reassess health and disease and shows how, by focusing on self-awareness, compassion and the mind, we can improve our physical well being. In this book, he also introduces the benefits of meditation and creative visualization. 'Perfect health is our natural state - we simply must allow the intelligence of Nature to work for us. This book shows us how.'
