        Whether the less on is easy or the lesson is chall enging, I
will see each moment as my chance to grow. This way I will learn what
love is, and I will learn who I am. Dear God,
No matter who I meet today
And no matter what occurs,
Help me to r emember love. Guide my mind
And open my heart. May I see Y our love in everything,
That I might know the truth. Amen. DA Y 302
I  s u r r e n d e r  m y  d e s t i n y  t o  a  l o v i n g  G o d. I  c annot know what will happen tomorrow, or what would be best to
occur in my life. I will not try  to control my destiny. I surrender my
future into the hands of God. I ne ed not strug gle to make thin gs happen, and I need not plan how
my life will un fold. I need o nly respond to the invitation of each
moment, to show up fully in exc ellence and love. Thus shall I be guided
by life itself, and delivered to my greater good. T oday I surr end er to the flow of love, knowing it is a river that
leads me  to a peaceful place. I give all goals, all plans, and all
attachments to God. What He wills is my highest good; in my life
and in the world, may His will be done. DA Y 303
T o d a y  I  p r a y  f o r  t h o s e  w h o  d o  n o t  l o v e  m e. P erhaps there is s omeone who does not understand me, who does not
accept me, and does not love m e. Let me not respond to their judgment
with judgment. T oday I respond to their judgment with love. Whatever has so locked their hearts that they cannot see into mine,
may God free th em. Whatever has wounded their souls that they cannot
appreciate that I have wounds as well, may God heal them. W hatever
fear so blinds them to love, may love yet be shown to them. Dear God,
T oday I pray for someone
Who withholds their appr oval, their support, or their love
Fr om me. Send a miracle into my heart. May I rise above r eaction or blame. Fr ee both of us to the love

 hospital.Then a very curious thing happened. After a day or two
on antibiotics, Chitra’s fever went from 104 degree s F. back
down to normal, which puzzled her attending physician. It
is very unusual for a high-grade fever to reverse itself so
rapidly if the underlying cause is an infecti on in a
terminally ill patient. Could there be another cause besides
infection? He decided to take chest X rays, and the next
day Raman called me sounding both exhilarated and
confused. “She doesn’t have cancer anymore!” Raman told me
jubilantly over the telephone. “What do you mean?” I asked, taken aback. “They can’t ﬁnd any cancer cells at all—nothing.” He was
almost unab le to contain himself. “Chitra’s oncologist at
ﬁrst was sure that they had X-rayed the wrong patient and
wanted to take some more pictures, but now he’s
convinced.”
Overjoyed, relieved, and unable to explain this sudden
stroke of salvation, Raman regarded his wife’s recovery as
a miracle. When I called Chitra in her hospital room, she
kept crying into the phone, “You did it, Deepak,” while I
kept insisting, “No, no, Chitra, you did it.” I had never
anticipated that such a rapid cure would result from her
treatments, either conventional or Ayurvedic. In retrospect,
I see that her high fever was a kind of burn-oﬀ from the
dying cancer, a process known as tumor necrosis. But the
exact mecha nism involve d has no explanation. If there is
such a thing as a mirac ulous cure, this was one, I was
certain. Within a few weeks, however, our mutual jubilation began
to change. Chitra’s “miracle” wasn’t holding. It eroded ﬁrst
within herse lf: instead of being able to trust in her
inexplicable recovery, she became conﬂicted, morbidly
afraid that the cancer would return. She called to ask me if
she should resume chemotherapy.“It’s been two months since the cancer disappeared,” I
said. “Does your doctor ﬁnd any new cancer cells?”
“No,” Chitra admitted, “but he thinks that the
chemotherapy cured me and that I should continue with it.”
I bega n to feel frustrated. I knew, as did her atten ding
physician, that the particular chemotherapy Chitra had
received was not known to produce sudden, total
recoveries of this kind, certainly not in advanced cases
where the cancer had begun to spread to other sites in the
body. Also, it was becoming obvious that she was being
worn down past endurance. The chemotherapy had caused
almost const ant nausea, and her hair had fallen out in
frightening amounts, adding to the shame she felt following
her breast surgery. All of this compromised the Ayurvedic
treatments we were trying. If even higher doses of
chemotherapy were given, she would become more
depressed, more prone to infections, and weaker in every
way. Yet, at the same time, I did not have a strong enough
reason to tell her not to proceed. What if she suﬀered a
relapse in six months and died? “Go ahead with your chemotherapy,” I advised, “but stick
with our program, too, okay?” She agreed. For several months more, Chitra remained free of
disease, but she also remained disturbed and mystiﬁed. It
seemed that Chitra’s cancer was easier to defeat than the
sinister doubt that was creeping back into her life, defying
her to be well. Chitra’s agonizing dilemma is the real starting point of
this book. For her to be well again, she needed an
explanation. What had happened to her? Was her cure a
miracle, as she thought at ﬁrst, or only a tempora ry stay of
execution, as she came to dread? By going deeper into the
mind-body connection, I believe an answer can be found.—
Research on spontaneous cures of cancer, cond ucted in
both the United States and Japan, has shown that just
before the cure appears,  almost every patient experiences
a dramatic shift in awar eness. He knows that he will be
healed, and he feels that the force responsible is inside
himself but not limited to him—it extends beyond his
personal boundaries, throughout all of nature. Suddenly he
feels, “I am not limited to my body. All that exists around
me is part of myself.” At that moment, such patients
apparently jump to a new level of consciousness that
prohibits the existence of cancer. Then the cancer cells
either disapp ear, literally  overnight in some cases, or at the
very least stabilize without damaging the body any further. This leap in consciousne ss seems to be the key. It does
not have to come in a ﬂash, however. Chitra was cultivating
it deliberately, through her Ayurvedic techniques. Therefore, her ability to stay at a higher level of awareness
was strikingly correlated with her condition. Somehow she
could motiva te the absence of cancer, but just as easily she
could return to it. (I think of this as being like a violin
string whose  pitch varies as you slide your ﬁnger up and
down it.) The word that comes to mind when a scientist
thinks of such sudden changes is quantum. The word
denotes a discrete jump from one level of functioning to a
higher level—the quantum leap. Quantum is also a technical term, once known only to
physicists but now growing in popular usage. Formally, a
quantum is “the indivisi ble unit in which waves may be
emitted or absorbed,” the deﬁnition given by the eminent
British physicist Stephen Hawking. In laym an’s terms, the
quantum is a building block. Light is built up from photons,
electricity from the charge of one electron, gravity  from the
graviton (a hypothetical quantum, not yet found in nature),and so on for all forms of energy—each of them is based on
a quantum and cannot be broken down into anything
smaller. Both deﬁnitions—the discrete jump to a higher level and
the irreducible level of a force—appear to apply to certain
cases like Chitra’s. Therefore, I would like to introduce the
term quantum healing  to describe what happened to her. Although the term is new, the process itself is not. There
have always been patients who do not follow the normal
course of healing. A tiny minority, for example, do not
waste away from cancer; others have tumors that grow
much more slowly than what the statistics for their
diseases predict. Many cures that share mysterious origins
—faith healing, spontaneous remissions, and the eﬀective
use of placebos, or “dummy drugs”—also point toward a
quantum leap. Why? Because in all of these instances, the
faculty of inner awareness seems to have promoted a
drastic jump—a quantum leap—in the healing mechanism. Consciousness is a force that most of us undervalue. Generally we do not focus our inner awareness or use its
real power, even in the most diﬀicult moments of crisis. That may account for why “miracle” cures are greeted with
a mixture of awe, disbel ief, and reverence. Yet, everyone
possesses consciousness. Perhaps these miracles are
extensions of normal abilities. When your body mends a
broken bone, why is that not a miracle? As a healing
process, it is certainly complex, far too complex for
medicine to duplicate; it involves an incredible number of
perfectly synchronized processes, of which medici ne knows
only the major ones and those imperfectly. The reason why curing cancer by yourself is a miracle but
mending a broken arm is not comes down to the mind-body
connection: The broken bone seems to mend itself
physically, without the intervention of your mind; yet, a
spontaneous cure of cancer—so it is widely believed—depends on a special quality of mind, some deep will to live,
a heroically positive outlook, or some other rare capacity. This implies that there are two kinds of healing, one that is
normal, the other abnormal, or at least exceptional. I belie ve that this distinction is false. The broken arm
mends because consciousness makes it mend, and the same
holds true for the miraculous cancer cure, the long-term
survival of AIDS, the healing by faith, and even the ability
to live to a great old age without falling prey to disease. The reason why not everyone manages to take the healing
process as far as it can go is that we diﬀer drastically in our
ability to mobilize it. We can see this in the way that diﬀerent people react to
disease. A minute fraction, far less than 1 percent, of all the
patients who contract an incurable disease manage to cure
themselves. A larger fraction, but still under 5 percent, live
much longer than average—this is conﬁrmed in the 2
percent of AIDS patients who have survived longer than
eight years, while the vast majority do not survive beyond
two. These ﬁnding s are not restricted to incurable dise


scrutiny. Rather than being branded miraculous by religion
or science, they stand as the mute, inglorious Miltons of the
healing process. Ayurveda extends their ability to everyone. The Ayurvedic
approach is to take a process already going on in the body
and assist it naturally and without strain. Any pain or
disease you have is like an island of discomfort surrounded
by an ocean  of comfort, for in comparison to any one
disease, your healthy awareness is as big as an ocean. Assuming that you are normally constituted, there is no
innate reason why you cannot heal any disease with
awareness. (In old age, or in cases of chronic illness, our
inner abilities get depleted; therefore, Ayurveda cannot
guarantee a cure because sometimes it is not there in
nature’s scheme.) The bliss technique gives the patient the experience of
himself as pure awareness, the ocean of well-being that is
our basic prop and susten ance. With this technique alone it
is possible to “drown” a disease in awareness and cure it. However, like the hypnotic subjects who can focus their
attention to make a bliste r appear, it is also usefu l to focus
attention more precisely to heal. For that, the primordialsound techni que exists. With it, a speciﬁc tumor or arthritic
joint can be attended to; a weak heart or clogged arteries
can be zeroed in on. You are not attacking the disorder with
the primordial sound but paying closer attention to it—so
close that the distortion of awareness lurking at the bottom
of the disorder falls back into line. In earlier chapters I
called this process banishing the ghost of memory. Together, meditation, the bliss technique, and primordial
sound are the practical application of all that I have been
building up to, the tools of quantum healing. Let me
illustrate them with a case study, and afterward I will
explain their connection to bliss. Laura is a young woman from Boston who contracted
breast cance r in her mid-thirties. Confronted with her
diagnosis, she elected for personal reasons not to undergo
any conventional treatment, despite her doctor’s anxious
insistence that without treatment she would be dead in less
than two years. Today, three years later, she is still alive
and on the surface appears perfectly normal. Her X rays
reveal that the tumor has not shrunk, but its growth, if any,
has been slight. This implies that Laura is still in
considerable danger, but in her own mind, her present
state is a great victory. Although her cancer is still present, it has not followed
what doctors call the “expected natural history” of the
disease. Dr. Yujiro Ikemi, one of Japan’s leading experts in
psychosomatic medicine, has surveyed sixty-nine patients
whom he considers to have had spontaneous regressions of
cancer. It is not necessary for the cancer cells to disappear
entirely, Dr. Ikemi notes— he looks for other signs, such as
that the tumor is growing abnormally slowly, the patient
has not wasted away, and the malignancy has not spread to
other parts of the body. These signs are enough to indicate
a spontaneous regression in Ikemi’s view, and Laura ﬁts
them all.Laura was already meditating when I ﬁrst saw her. In
1987 she went through two weeks of inpatient Ayurvedic
treatment and was taught primordial sound and the bliss
technique, both of which can be used during meditation. Let us say that the mind has settled down in meditation and
is expe riencing itself as silence. Bliss is in that silence, just
as intelligenc e is. You cannot “feel” that you are intelligent,
but you can feel bliss. The bliss technique bring s it out for
the mind to register in various ways—as warmth in some
part of the body, tingling, a ﬂowing sensation, or several
other physical manifestations. Bliss remains abstract, but a
sort of “after glow” is being picked up during the technique. Primordial sound, on the other hand, is quite focused—it
brings the awareness of bliss directly to the diseased area
of the body. (One does not have to think of all this as
happening separately. The bliss level of awareness is
always present; the techniques simply draw the conscious
mind to it. Once bliss is experienc ed, the mind-body
connection has been made.) As soon as she learned the techniques, Laura felt
immediate positive eﬀec ts. The primord ial sounds went
right to the breast area, she told me. At times they induced
a throbbing feeling, heat, or even pain; most of the time,
however, she would sit down with pain in that area and the
technique would cause it to go away. The most dramatic
results, subjectively, came from the introduction of bliss. I
asked Laura to write out her experiences for me, whether
joyful or painful or just indiﬀerent, and she agreed to. The
latest report says this:
The experien ces during the bliss technique are
not as profound as when  I started one and a half
years ago, but then there was such deep-rooted
fear and sorrow, a feeling of helplessness andintense anxiety, so the contrast was quite great
when I began to experience such joy and bliss. At that time there were large black holes
experienced in my awareness. I do not see the
black holes anymore, and the feeling of constant
happiness is more stable. Yet days still come
when the joy and bliss are so powerful that I can
hardly contain them. I rarely experience fear
anymore, just some general anxiety that I can
usually control with a little attention. While other women in her position are devastated by
their treatments and left with the deepest scars, physically
and mentally, it is amazing that Laura, though still
suspended between life and death, can end her letter this
way:
A year and a half ago, I was only 99 percent sure
that the cancer would be eliminated. It has only
been in the last month that I have grown 100
percent sure. I have no doubts now. I feel
conﬁdent in the support of nature. I still don’t
know the exact form nature’s help will take, or
the timing for it, but I am less concerned about
the ﬁnal manifestation than I am about the
breakthrough in consciousness. I can see clearly
in my awareness the perfect breast. Laura is a sensitive observer of her own awareness, and
she sees its ﬂow very exactly. To her, there is a huge
diﬀerence, from the inside, between being sick and
becoming well. The techniques she is using do not call for
visualization, but she says that she can see the tumor grow
whenever she feels anxious or sorrowful. This imagerepresents, I believe, a direct link between her awareness
and the progress of the cancer. What will the ﬁnal outcome be? She and I agree that the
process itself is the outcome; every day is a whole—not a
step toward some dreame d-of recovery, but an end in itself,
to be lived in its fullness as if no disease existed. Because I
am much more indoctrinated by my past medical
experiences with cancer than Laura is, I often think that
she is far ahead of me in her joyful conﬁdence. —
Bliss is both objective and subjective. You can feel it as a
sensation, but it also eﬀects measurable change—it can
alter the heart rate, blood pressure, hormone secretions, or
anything else for that matter. This is what allows bliss to be
useful medically. The patient  is using the Ayurvedic
techniques “in his head,” but the bliss being experienced is
re-creating his body at the same time. What is happ ening is
that the body is receivin g a signal from its own blueprint,
not a material blueprint but the one that exists in
consciousness. Because the blueprint is invisible, it has to ﬁnd a way to
cross over into material existence. To do that, nature
employs bliss—it is a vibration that bridges mind and
matter, allowing each bit of the body to be paired with a bit
of intelligence:
This diagram shows the mind-body connection as being like
a radio broadcast: mind is sending out impulses of
intelligence, DNA receives them, and bliss is the carrier
signal. On paper, these three elements have to be
separated, but in reality they are completely fused. The
message, the messenger, and the receiver are one. Of
course, we have looked at the mind-body connection dozens
of times before, but we didn’t have the “glue” that keeps
mind and body from ﬂying in separate directions—bliss. DNA now takes on special importance. A single
neuropeptide, or any other messenger molecule, carries
only a tiny bit of the signal that mind is sending. Adrenaline, for example, is correlated to fear. This seems to
imply that each thought activates one molecule, but that
would be like saying that 101.5 on an FM radio  receives
only one song. In fact, the body can receive an inﬁnite
variety of signals, thanks to DNA. We are used to thinkin


 entire
step to it in Chapter 10. Accept your differ ences as a cause of celebration. Release T oxic W ork
Most people spend a good portion of their life on the job. So ideally work
should af ford the opportunity  to express your creativity, to interact
meaningfully wi th your coworkers, and to provide the material s ecurity youseek. Un fortunately, many peop le find their workplace to be a source of
stress ra ther than fulfillment, and consequently, aging is accelerated rather
than reversed. The world would be a better place if we all could do what made us
happy, while expressing our unique talents in service to others and
ourselves. Acco rding to A yurveda, this is the state of living in dharma, or
fulfilling your purpose in life. Even if you are not able to earn a living
doing exactly what you like doing best, see if you can bring some aliveness
to your workplace. T ry connecting more openly with your coworkers so your work
environment is emotionally healthier. Observe your environment and see if you can improve the sounds,
sights, or smells that surround you. Look for opportunities to align your work with your values, needs, and
beliefs. Life is precious and you have the right to perform work that is
meaningful. A test to see if you  are in your dharma is to notic e how often
you look at the time. If your in ner dialogue tells you that time is creeping
by very slowly and you cannot w ait to get of f work, you are probably not in
a positio n that is fully expressin g your purpose in life. If, on the  other hand,
you find that tim e flies while y ou are engaged, it is a good clue that this
work is the type that can help y ou grow younger. Listen to the  signals that
your body and mind are commu nicating and commit to spending your day
creating greater fulfillment for you and those in your life. Reversing the Appearance of Aging
The field of ener gy, information, and intelligence commonly known as the
skin is your la r gest and most adaptable or gan. As the bou ndary zonebetween your inner and outer w orlds, the skin protects your tissues, cells,
and mo lecules from the onslaught of microor ganisms, temperature
extremes, ultraviolet and infrared radiation, and chemical pollutants present
in yo ur e nvironment. It constant ly monitors stimuli from your s urroundings
through its innumerable touch, temperature, and pain receptors, and sends
this information  to your brain on a moment-to-moment basis. Y our soft
pliant sk in has the remarkable ability to dif ferentiate itself into the long
strands of your hair or your flat hard nails by rearranging its collagen
molecules. It is the site of vita min D activation, crucial for maintaining
strong b ones. The skin contains sweat glands, oil glands, fat cells, nerve
fibers, i mmune cells, and miles of blood vessels and is essential in your
regulation of body temperature a nd hydration. The skin is literally your face
to the world. Following a few basic skin care principles can reverse the appearance of
aging. There are three important steps you must take as part of an age-
reversing skin care program: (1) purify, (2) revitalize, and (3) replenish. PURIFY
Y our ski n reflects the purity of your entire body. The principles of a healthy
diet, nutritional supplementation, and detoxification will pay their rewards
in the quality of your skin. In addition to generally healthy lifestyle choices,
you mu st carefu lly clean your skin once or twice daily to re move local
toxins that block your skin pores and predispose you to infections. It is generally best to avoid soap s that contain harsh deter gents and to use
natural cleansers. A yurveda recommends the use of herbal cleansing
powders that remove toxins an d excessive oils while reestablishing acid-
base bal ance. An  easily mixed f ormula that you can make at home includes
equal parts dried chickpea flour,  dry milk powder, nutmeg, lemo n peel, and
ground c oriander. Use about half a teaspoon with water to make a paste and
gently a pply it to your moistened face. As it begins to dry, rinse of f the
powder. If you wish to e xperiment with traditional A yurvedic cleansing herbs, try
adding neem, manjistha, or sandalwood powder. A basic principle regarding
the cleansing product is not to u se anything on your skin that you wouldn’ t
be comfortable putting into your stomach. Moist herbalize d steam treatments are also helpful in opening clogged
pores an d releas ing toxins. Once a week, treat yourself to a f acial steam
bath to which you add a few drops of essential oil. Lavender, juniper,
rosemary, ber gamot, or sage all have purifying ef fects on the body. REVIT ALIZE
The second step to reverse the appearance of aging is skin re vitalization. Stimulating the collagen fibers that support the skin can improve its tone
and appe arance. Many modern skin care products contain natural acids that
stimulate the cells that produce collagen, such as glycolic acid, azelaic acid,
and lactic acid. Skin care produ cts with these acids in higher concentration
will cause some peeling and should be used under the supervision of a
skilled s kin care specialist. Milder revitalizing treatments can be applied at
home using readily available natural products. Y ogurt, lemon juice, and grape fruit juice can have a mild stimulating
ef fect. Fresh yogurt can be applied directly to your skin and left on for five
minutes before rinsing. Dilute le mon juice or grapefruit juice with an equal
part of aloe vera juice and apply to the skin. Leave on for two minutes and
then rinse. If your skin is oily, you can do this every day. If your skin tends
to be dry or reactive, dilute the  solution further and use every  second or
third day. REPLENISHAfter cleansing and revitalizing, the skin needs to be replenished. Use a
pure veg etable or nut oil to which a few drops of an essential flo wer or herb
oil has been add ed. T ry mixing almond, jojoba, avocado, or sunflower oil
with ros e, lavender, sandalwood, jasmine, geranium, or lemon essential oils. Apply a small a mount and allow it to be absorbed naturally. Use more if
your skin is on the dry side. Sou rce books on natural beauty ca re are listed
in the references for this chapter. SUN PROTECTION
Always use sunscreen when you  are outdoors. Ultraviolet radiation leads to
collagen damage, wrinkling, and skin cancer. Prevention is much better than
cure, so be awa re of the potentially damaging ef fects of sun on your skin. This is particularly important if you live in a hot climate or at higher
altitudes. T each your children to use sunscreen to prevent unnecessary skin
problems later in their lives. Every day in every way,

I am  r eversing my biological ag e by cultivating flexibility and  cr eativity in
my consciousness. I put flexibility into practice by:
Learning to let go when things don’ t seem to go my way. Practicing the wisdom of uncertainty—not being attached to outcome
and letting go of the need to control. Learning to for give by relinquishing grievances, resent ments,and
r egr ets. I put cr eativity into practice by:
Learning the nine-step cr eative r esponse. Applying the cr eative r esponse to all the challenges and/or problems in
my life. Helping others to solve their problems by teaching them the cr eative
r esponse. Aging is associated with rigidity and decay. Y outh is associated with flexibility and cr eativity. Both flexibility and cr eativity ar e learned behaviors. By cultivating flexibility and cr eativity in consciousness,
you r enew yourself in every moment and
r everse the aging pr ocess. An ancient V edic aphorism says,
“Infinite flexibility and cr eativity
ar e the secr ets to immortality. ”

Y ou can reverse your biological  age by cultivating flexibility an d creativity
in c onsciousnes s. When we consider growing older we usually think of
becoming less flexible and cre ative. Our language of aging reflects this
view. W e use expressions like “Y ou can’ t teach an old dog new  tricks,” or“I’m too old to change,” or “He’ s just too set in his ways. ” In b oth modern
and V edic sciences, the loss of


 olive oil (hence the scandal in the olive oil industry
which was first introduced to the public by my newsletter,
Beyond Health News,
and
was ultimately included in a worldwide broadcast by the BBC and by ABC news). Almost all olive oil is processed and diluted in ways that result in the loss of
vitamins, essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and other nutrients, not to mention the
addition/creation of toxins. In my search for a healthful olive oil, I found only one
U.S. producer that’s doing everything right. Not surprisingly, this oil also has the
best flavor; the brand is Bariani. Barleans Flaxseed Oil
Everybody needs essential fats. Flaxseed oil contains essential omega-3 and -6
fatty acids that are required for good health. In choosing an oil, look for one that is
as fresh as possible and unfiltered, so as to retain all its precious nutrients and
goodness. Barleans is my choice. It is a high-quality oil that is pressed daily, given a
four-month shelf life date stamp and expressed directly to your local health food
store. Carlson Cod Liver Oil
Carlson Cod Liver Oil comes from the livers of fresh cod fish found in the pure
North Atlantic waters near Norway. It is a rich source of vitamins A and D along
with DHA and EPA (fish oils beneficial to human health). Organic Ghee or Butter
Organic butter is acceptable when a fat is required, such as for frying. Do not
allow the butter to smoke, as it becomes toxic. Organic ghee (clarified butter) may
be a better choice since it lacks the milk proteins and is less allergenic than butter. Ghee is made by removing all the milk solids and water from butter, leaving only
the fat. Ghee withstands higher temperatures well, making it ideal for cooking. My
choice is Purity Farms Organic Ghee. Udo’s Choice Perfected Oil Blend
Udo’s Choice is a blend of organic, unrefined oils and nutritional co-factors that
balances the omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids to coincide with those obtained from
traditional diets.Pesticides
Pesticides are among the most dangerous of all man-made chemicals. When we
are exposed to pesticides, not only do they harm us and our children; they harm all
life on the planet. Yet, there are times when it sure would be nice to have something
that effectively kills and repels bugs without doing harm to you, your children, your
pets, or the environment. I found such a product; it is called Orange Guard. pH paper
pH balance is a critical part of cellular health. For monitoring the pH of urine and
saliva, pH paper in the range of 5.5 to 8.0 is ideal. pH paper in this range is available
at Beyond Health, along with guidelines on how to measure and control your pH. Rebounding
Health is determined by many factors, including diet, toxins, genes, stress,
thoughts and emotions and
the amount of physical activity we get. Research has
proven that the benefits of exercise are cumulative and that physical activity is
essential for health. Rebounding is a simple, easy, and inexpensive way to address
this problem without leaving your home. If you consider buying a rebounder, do not purchase a cheap $50 mini-trampoline
at your local sporting goods store. This type of rebounder actually can do more harm
than good. Inexpensive rebounders tend to have bad springs; these cheap tube
springs do not absorb and cushion your weight properly, causing a bounce that is
abrupt and jarring. People have suffered permanent nerve damage from using such
units. Select a rebounder with fat, barrel spring that allows for smooth deceleration,
bringing you to a gentle stop. Another problem with cheap rebounders is poor-
quality matting material. Cheap mats stretch too much, do not support your feet
properly and thus place undue stress on your ankles, knees and back. By contrast,
good rebounders have high-quality mats that hold their shape and do not overstretch. Other considerations for a rebounder include the strength of the frame, the height
and number of legs, the quality of the sewing that attaches the webbing to the mat
and the ease with which the unit can be folded, stored out of the way or made
portable. The rebounder I selected for my personal use is available through Beyond
Health. Shampoo
All shampoos will remove oil and dirt from your hair, but the challenge is findingone without toxins. Common toxins include sodium lauryl sulfate and artificial
colors, fragrances and preservatives. Depending on the formula, other ingredients in
shampoo are capable of reacting with sodium lauryl sulfate to form nitrosamines,
which are powerful carcinogens. The brand I chose for my personal use is Aubrey
Organics. Aubrey makes a variety of shampoo products, so there is bound to be one
that is just right for you. Skin Cream
Like shampoos, most skin creams contain a long list of highly toxic chemicals
including artificial colors, fragrances, and preservatives such as parabens (capable of
damaging sub-layers of skin even more severely than a bad sunburn— damage that
goes essentially unnoticed—until a cancer diagnosis). My search for a skin cream
that contained no toxins and only high-quality natural ingredients led me again to
Aubrey Organics, which makes a variety of safe and effective skin creams. My
favorite is their Green Tea & Ginkgo Moisturizer, which is available at quality
health and specialty stores or at Beyond Health. Soap
Soaps generally come in either bar or liquid form and are made from either
vegetable or animal fats or synthetic detergents. There are enormous differences in
the amount of skin irritation caused by different brands of soap. Generally, soaps
made from glycerin are among the mildest. Soaps can also contain a variety of
toxins including artificial colors and fragrances as well as antibacterial chemicals. I
look for soaps that minimize both skin irritation and toxicity while still doing the
job. My favorites are soaps made by Weleda and Aubrey Organics. I also like Kirk’s
Castile bar soap and Dr. Bronner’s liquid soaps; both are effective, safe and
relatively inexpensive. Sunscreen
This is a perspective issue more than a recommendation. Sunlight is a health
promoting, required nutrient. Sunburn, however, damages health. The answer is to
get sun in frequent moderate doses and build a tan. Unless you do something foolish,
the sun will not cause disease in healthy people who have adequate amounts of
nutrients like carotenes, lycopene, essential fatty acids, and vitamins A, C, E, and
zinc and selenium. Our need for the sun is exemplified by the fact that nature
intended us to get most of our vitamin D from the sun. Vitamin D is almost totallyabsent in vegetable foods. If you must have a sunscreen skin product, I recommend
looking for those that do not contain any toxic, synthetic chemicals. My personal
choices are any of the several sunscreen products by Aubrey Organics, or merely
sticking to the ancient Mediterranean custom of rubbing high quality olive oil (such
as Bariani) on the skin. Synthetic chemical sunscreens may indeed help prevent a sunburn, but they do not
prevent skin cancer—in fact, they may even promote it. Researchers at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston cite: “There is no substantial evidence that
sunscreen protects against any of the three forms of skin cancer.” Robin Marks,
M.B., M.P.H., a dermatologist and a professor at the University of Melbourne said:
“Relying on synthetic chemicals to prevent cancer is laughable.” Arthur Rhodes, a
University of Pittsburgh dermatologist, told a 1994 meeting of the American Cancer
Society that sunscreens “appear weakly effective or ineffective.”
Toothpaste
Because almost all toothpaste is toxic, I looked for a toothpaste that would clean
teeth without adding to toxic overload. The mucus membranes in the mouth are
highly permeable and chemicals in toothpaste pass right through the membranes into
the blood stream where they can bioaccumulate in the body to toxic levels. Toxins
such as sodium lauryl sulfate, fluoride, artificial sweeteners, artificial colors, and
artificial flavors are common contaminants in toothpaste. The brand I selected after
eighteen months of research is Weleda. While there may be other acceptable brands,
I did not find any in my search that were superior to Weleda. If you decide to look
for one on your own, the objective is to find a brand that is made from only natural
and exceptionally pure raw materials. For additional information about these products, go to

 used in three ways: as a local ized
application, as a pack and as a fu ll mud bath. Mud is harvested from
the man y ant hills found on site; as the ants have taken the mud
from dee p down, it’ s incredibly pure without any surface polluta nts. Therapists furth er prepare it by sieving it, washing it properly, and
sterilizing it by drying it in sun light. It is then stored carefull y in
airtight containers. “Mud is healing in itself,” expl ains the resident naturopath Dr
Usha Devi. “It has the property  of retaining temperature for a l ong
time, so  depending on the ailm ent, can be applied either hot or
cold.” H ot mud is used for join t conditions such as arthritis an d to
reduce oedema or water retentio n in localized areas of the body, and
cold mu d helps in the treatment of skin diseases, such as psor iasis
for example. Sometimes, herbs may be added such as disinfecting neem and
turmeric if there is a possibility of infection and castor oil may  be
added to an abdominal pack in liver conditions. It helps stimulate
the circulation of blood towar ds the liver, thereby aiding in  the
detoxification process. Whichever mud therapy is assigned, the feeling is nurturing and
strengthening. The tightening experienced when the mud dries on
the skin is pleasant — be it hot or cold — and as it is straight from
nature, you can be sure it is doing good work. The full mud bath is
particularly invigorating: being slathered in soft, creamy mud, then
having it washed of f afterwards  is a self-indulgent treat. The skinfeels sof t, smooth, tight and tin gly afterwards — and there is no
need for extra moisturizing. Application of mud from top to toe may sound a bit messy (gross even), but it is an
invigorating experie nce especially if the body is wrapped in a blanket after
application. Micro elements from the mud are absorbed into the body and toxins
expelled leaving skin and internal organs refreshed. Mud from Soukya’ s organic site is harvested, mixed with pure water and made into
packs for a variety of uses. When placed on the abdomen, it is left for 20 minutes
to improve  digestion, strengthen the metabolism of the liver, prevent constipation
and speed  up blood circulation to the internal organs. Full of elements such as
iron, manganese, zinc, copper, chromium and cobalt, it is therapeutic in the
extreme.ksheera dhooma
Medicated Milk Steam
A particular A yurvedic method unique to Kerala,  ksheera
dhooma  is presc ribed f or patients with facial palsy, certain
nervous disorders, dif ficulty in voice and speech, headaches
and trigeminal neuralgia (the trigeminal nerve is a cranial
nerve t hat sup plies the face). The word  ksheera  translates
as “milk” and  dhooma  indicates a “fomentation by vapor”. Generally giv en to the fac e, although the steam may be
directed to other parts of the body suf fering from dif fe rent
conditions, it consists of a steaming with medicated milk. It
is considered a treatment for  vata  related disorders. First of all, a selection of herbs is boiled up with cow’ s milk, then
the steam issuing from the mix is passed through a tube to  the
af fected area of the body (this has first been oiled with medic ated
herbal oil chosen according to the body’ s constitution and
condition). The steam makes what is known in A yurvedic circles as
a fomen tation on the face, thereby allowing medicinal properties to
be absorbed. The idea is to stimulate nerve endings and open up the
micro-channels just below the skin’ s surface. At Soukya International Holistic Health Center, the medicated
milk is steamed through a papaya stalk onto the chosen area. This
allows t he prope rties of the herb s and the milk to mix with pap ain,
the active enzyme in papaya,  before it reaches its destinat ion. Papain is helpful in loosening and dissolving the top layer of d ead
skin cells, so, in this case, it helps prepare the skin for the
absorption of the medicated herbs. The treatment is prescribed oncea da y fo r three, five or seven day s consecutively and may be of f ered
in c ombination with other trea tments. It’ s a good example o f a
traditional therapy of fered in modern surrounds. A therapist directs steam from boiling medicated milk on to the face of a patie nt at
the integrated wellness center called Soukya. Known as a  swedan  (fomentation)
therapy,  ksheera dhooma  is tradition ally prescribed for people with  vata  related
disorders (any muscle, ligament, joint or nerve-related disorder).netra tarpanam
Vasthi Therapy for the Eyes
At an A yurved a clinic,  netra tarpanam  is seen as an oral
eye care treatment to help w ith eye strain, dryness of ey es,
poor sight and other eye-rela ted conditions. It is believed to
strengthen the  muscles round the eyes, cool the eyes, oleate
the area  round the eyes and may even help with myopia. As
with all A yurvedic prescriptions, at least a two-week course
is s uggested, and during th e course of the treatment the
patient should not be exposed to harsh light. The treatment uses the mediu m of ghee or  gritham, a type  of
clarified butter that is used all  over India in cooking. “Ghee has
what we call  samskarika anuvarthana  in Sanskrit,” explains
A yurvedic doctor, Dr Y ogesh, “this means it has the specific quality
of being  able to absorb propert ies of herbal products and transfer
them into the skin.” Depending on the condition,  triphala gritham,
good for the eyesight, or  jeevanthyadhi gritham, a ghee that helps
develop immunity, may be used. T o keep the ghe e in place over the eye socket, a dough of black
or g reen gram fl our paste (gram powder mixed with water) is m ade
and stuc k around both eye cavities. A small amount of ghee me lted
to room temperature is then poured into the watertight enclosure, so
that it fills the contained area a nd makes the eyelashes sink s hut. The ghee is kept on the eyes for 20 minutes, during which time the
patient is encouraged to move the eyes around. It is a slightly fiddly process, and may not be for everybody. Some people experience a burning sensation when the medicatedghee is poured in, and having t o hold still for a long time isn’ t to
every body’ s liking. Strictly speaking,  netra tarpanam  is a  vasthi  therapy (see pages 32–35), as
medicated ghee is kept trapped on a topical area in a watertight “reservoir” of
dough. Whilst the ghee rests in its place, eyes should be rolled around, opened
and closed, thereby allowing the ghee’ s properties to be fully absorbed.kizhi therapy
The Hot Herbal Pouch
In A yurveda, the herbal poultice is a time-honored tradition
of healing with heat. Packed with goodness, warm ed
pouches of herbs, plants, roots, and more, have been applied
to sore, sprained or sad bodies for centuries. Classified as a
swedanam  (Sanskrit for sweat therapy) in the V edic texts,
the herbal poultice is both detoxifying and healing. Specially selected ingredients are tied tightly in natural
cloth, s teamed for a few min utes, then dipped in medicated
herbal oil and applied to the body. On application, the heat
induces sweating, thereby helping to bring toxins to the
surface of the skin; then, once the pores are open, s kin
absorbs the properties of the herbs for healing. The  kizhi  (Mahalayam word for bundle) has proved so popular over
the c enturies, its fame has sprea d to other cultures too. Many South
East Asi an herbal healthcare practices rely on the herbal poultice to
relieve sore muscles and joint pains, while in India, hospi tals,
homestays, spas, wellness centers and salons of fer various forms
both as a stand -alone treatmen t or in conjunction with ano ther
therapy such as massage. The content, method of application and
usage varies widely. Patrapotlaswedanam
The Sanskrit name for this an cient A yurvedic treatment is taken
from  patra  meaning “leaves”,  potla  translating as “pouch” and
swedanam  meaning “fomentation” or “s weat therapy”. Theintegrated medical center called Soukya, just outside Bangalore, is
known for its extensive herb gardens

and brings  the confidenc e of controlling  a pow erful flow of creative
energy  and the satisfaction  of a deep  sense  and highe r balance  of
harmony with the world. 2. A Powerful,  Versatile Energy
    The me thods  of Chi cultivation  explained  in detail  in this book
from Ovarian  Breathin g to the Ovarian  Upward Draw method  to
Beyond Orgas m all involve  drawing sexual  energ y stored  in the
ovaries  up the spinal  colu mn and  into the brain. When the  brain  is
full, this  energy  will travel  down the front  into the throat,  heart  and
navel. The brain  and pituitar y gland  will aid in distributing  this po werful
energy  to wherever it is neede d. This is a unique  attribute  of sexual
energy, or Ching,  over  other  types of Chi that have  their own special
functions,  e.g.,  liver  Chi. Sexual  energ y is extraordin arily versatile
and can be transfo rmed into  many differe nt functions. This is one
reason  it is so nourishin g to our spiritual  being. Our inner  spiritual
being  can easily  digest  it, almost as if it w ere baby food. The loop  of energy  circulatin g about  the bod y in the  Microcosmic
Orbit,  carry ing the sexual  current  from the  ovaries  and sprea ding
vitality  to other  parts  of the body, also has  a profoun d effect  on
health  in a specific  way. It is this  energy  that triggers  the glands  to
release  the sex- stimulating  hormones  which regulate  body
chemistry  and ultim ately affect  your ability  to do anything. It has an
especially  strong  influenc e on the quality  of your lovemaking,
because  on the  biological  level sex is largel y a question  of hormonal
balance. The benefits  of the  Microc osmic Orbit extend  beyond facilitating
the flow of sexual  energ y: they include  the preventio n of aging  and
the healing  of many illnesses,  ranging  from high  blood  pressu re,
insomnia and  headaches  to arthritis. Whether it be for  fighting  off
an illness,  answering a child’s  question,  painting,  or making love,
the energy  that flows in the  Microcosmic Orbit  is available  when
we need  it. E. Sealing the  Energy within  the Body
    After  opening  up the Micr ocosmic energ y channel,  it is important
to keep  it clear  of physical or mental blockages,  thereb y making it
possible  to pump a great er amount of sexual  energ y up the  spine. If this chann el is blocked  by tension  during  the sexual  excite ment
of lovemaking, ovarian  energ y will not be able  to rise to  the brain. - 64 -Chapter  IV
The sexual  pow er is then  lost until the  body goes  throu gh the long
and physicall y taxing  process  of manufacturing  more ovarian
energy. The Microcosmic Orbit  is an  important  step  to sealing  this
energy  within the body  so that  it will circulate  and revitalize  all parts
of the  mind and  body. Other wise, when intense  sexual  energ y
pressure  builds  in the  head,  much of it escapes  out of  the eyes,
ears,  nose  and mouth and is lost. F. Opening the Microcosmic Energy Channel
    The easiest  way to open  the Micr ocosmic energ y channel  is to
sit in me ditation  a few minutes  each  morning  and relax. Allow your
energy  to automatically  com plete  the loop  by letting  your mind flo w
along  with it. Start in the e yes, and mentally circulate  your attention
with the energ y as it goes  down the front  throug h your tongu e,
throat,  chest  and navel,  and then up the  tail bone  and spine  to the
head. At first it may feel like nothin g is happe ning,  but eventuall y the
current  will begin  to feel  warm in som e places  as it loops  around. The key  is sim ply to relax and  try to bring  your mind directly  into the
part of the  loop  being  focused  on. This is different  from visualizing
an image inside  your head  of what that part  of the  body  looks  like or
is feeling. Experience  actual  Chi flo w. Relax  and let y our mind flow
with the Chi in the  physical body along  a natural  circuit to  any desired
point,  e g.,  your navel,  perine um, etc. Even  if yo u do not sit dail y and circulate  the Microc osmic current,
just being  aware that it exists in y our body and functions
automaticall y during  these  practices  should  help  you more quickly
master the  methods  of Taoist  loving. You may  even  learn  it through
your love making:  all it takes  is attention. The best  lover  is a fully
relaxed  woman  who underst ands  what is going  on inside  her. A wa y to beco me more in touch  with your energ y is to lie next  to
your partner  with your ear or nose  near  your partner’s  nose. Syn-
chronize  your breathing  and begin  to feel the mi ngling  of your breaths
and energies. You might also hug  each  other  for a prolon ged period
and begin  to feel the  energ y in the  abdomen  with each  breath. The
woma n who masters this  easy  flow of energ y inside  her body ’s
Micro  cosmic Orbit  will find tapping  into her sexual  powers a simple
and natural  step. The mo re conscious  you beco me of the  functionin g of subtle
Chi energ y in your body, mind, and spirit, the  greate r your freed om

to creativel y love and  be yourself. Those  interested  in full y mastering  this me thod of relaxation  and
opening  the Microcosmic Orbit  can refer  to my first  book,  Awaken
Healing Energy Through  the Tao. Study of the  Micr ocosmic Orbit  is highly  recommended  to all
students  of Sexual Kung  Fu who seek to  truly  master the  techniqu es
taught  here. Progress  to the higher  levels  of transfo rming sexual
energy  without first learning  the Microcosmic Orbit  is ver y difficult. Many people  may  alread y have  open  chann els and simply need  to
be made a ware of them. An yone can start  to relax  in a pleasing,
natural  setting. Mast ering the Microc osmic current  also  prepa res the serious
student  for utilizing  other  energy -conserving  techniques  that
comple ment Sexual  Kung  Fu, such as  Iron Shirt Chi Kung  I, II, and
III, a method of packing  and storing  Chi energ y into vital organs. Another  powerful technique  is Tai Chi Chi Kung,  a condensed  form
of Tai Chi Chuan  that circulates  Chi energ y among  body, mind, and
spirit, and strengthe ns muscles, tendo ns and bones. Fig. 4.3 Loving  Energy

 the million dollars in the
bank, and the respect of other people. Fine, you can have it all. But what if it
creates so much stress and worry that you’re miserable. You’d wish youcould have your old job back. You didn’ t really want the job, the money, or
the acceptance—you wanted what you thought they would give you. You
wanted happiness, joy, and a sense of total well-being. How about a constant
inner state of love, beauty, and inspiration at the highest level you’ve ever
experienced. Why didn’ t you ask for that. What you did was allow your strongest past experiences to define what
you think will make you feel happy. It doesn’ t work that way. There are
plenty of people who have what you wrote down on your list, and they’re
not always happy. There’ s nothing you ever experienced that left you totally
fulfilled for any length of time. You have always needed more. Your entire
life you’ve been saying, “If I get this thing I want, I’ll be okay, and if I don’t
have to get what I don’t want, I’ll be fine. ” For your whole life, there’ s been
a list. When will you realize that doesn’ t work. If you’ve been doing
something every minute of your entire life, and you’re still doing it,
obviously it doesn’ t work. Why not go directly to the root and say, “What I
want is to feel love and joy. What I want is every moment of every day to
feel complete well-being as high as I’ve ever felt before, and to be inspired
by everything I do. ” Now there’ s a list. Let’ s turn that one in. The interesting result of our experiment is that it has led us away from
worldliness and into the essence of spirituality. Not that worldliness is a
negative term— it just means you think the answer is in the world. You think
the answer lies in what’ s unfolding in front of you. It isn’t wrong to go to
the world for what you think you want—it simply doesn’ t work. You’re
trying to find something outside that matches your “samskara of the day. ”
Once you get what you want, or avoid what you don’t want, that will no
longer be your major desire or greatest fear. Once that one’s out of the way,
there will always be the next issue coming to the surface. Eventually, you wake up. You realize that you want to feel love. Not
that you want to love someone or have someone love you—you just want to
feel love all the time. If your love is not dependent on anything or anyone, it
can last forever. We call that unconditional love. The great yoga master,
Meher Baba, taught that love must spring spontaneously from within. It
cannot be coerced, and it cannot be dependent upon anything. That’ s what
pure love is. Otherwise, you have a temporary situation that just happens to
match your stored patterns. Unfortunately, this will not last. You’ve got lots
of samskaras in there. In addition, if you’re in a relationship, the other
person has lots of patterns of their own, quite different from yours. This iswhy relationshi ps are so complicated. Not only are each person’ s past
samskaras different, but both people have different experiences every day to
add to the collection. If somebody yelled at your partner at work, they’re
different when they come home than if somebody was nice to them. You, of
course, had your daily experiences. If your feeling of love is dependent
upon your partner behaving a certain way when they come home, you’re in
trouble and so are they. You have enough difficulty dealing with your own
samskaras; now you have to deal with theirs also. Don’ t get scared. This doesn’ t mean you don’t have meaningful
relationships. There are beautiful relationships, and they can last forever. In
fact, they can get more and more beautiful all the time. But they are not
samskara relationships—they are not based on the world outside matching
your inner patterns. They are based on unconditional love. Once love is
always flowing freely inside of you, you will be pleased to share it with
another person. Such love is not based on needs or expectations—it’ s based
on pure love wishing to express itself, unconditionally. How do you reach such a state of unconditional love and well-being. Instead of trying to get the world to match your blockages, you work on
letting go of the blockages. That’ s the secret of real spiritual growth. That is
the real paradig m shift. If you don’t have the samskaras, nothing will be
blocking your inner energy flow. You will feel love, joy, and inspiration all
the time. If you are willing to experience the moment unfolding in front of
you, you will have the opportunity to be inspired by everything. The simple
fact that things exist will be suf ficient to move you. You only have two choices: either you devot e your life to getting the
world to match your samskaras,  or you devote your life to letting go of your
samskaras. If you choose the latter, you don’t end up with both a worldly
life and a spiritual life—you end up with one life. Work, meditation retreats,
taking out the garbage, sweeping the floor, driving, showering, they’re all
the same. The same thing is going on in all your activities—you are letting
go of your blockages. It’s equally beneficial to be letting go of your
blockages at work, when you’re  driving the kids to soccer, picking up the
groceries, or doing whatever you’re doing. Every single moment of your
life, you are either naturally enjoying what is or letting go of what’ s keeping
you from  enjoying what is. If you let go of the wants and fears that are
limiting you, you’ll always be okay. Letting go of yourself, instead of
serving yourself, is the real paradigm shift. Chapter 28. Working with the Heart
We interact with life every wakin g moment of our time on Earth. If we are
committed to growing spiritually, we must learn to use that interaction to
clear out our blockages. This inevitably returns us to the heart since we store
blockages there. As we’ve discussed, your heart experiences myriad
different emotions and feelin gs based on the sam skaras you have
accumulated. Your inability to handle the breadth of these emotions keeps
you locked in the human predicament of controlling life in order to be okay. If you wish to break free and live unconditionally, you must learn to clear
out your heart. The purification  of your heart begins with being grateful that you have
one. Your heart is like an orches tra. Have you ever watched a movie without
the score. It’ s dead. It doesn’ t have any juice to it. When something happens
in your life, the orchestra of your heart begins to play. It adds richness to
your life by playing high notes and low notes that are generally  appropriate
to the events unfolding before you. Your heart is not an obstacle or a
punishment. Your heart is a beautiful gift. Would you rather not have one
and live your life without feelings. Just as the human mind is something extraordinary that can take you
beyond the limit of your senses, so the human heart is even more
extraordinary. It can play notes  from one end of the spectrum to another. Your heart can go from absolute  ecstasy to deep pain and sorrow in a matter
of secon ds. It can raise you to heights where you feel like angel wings are
carrying you to heaven, and it can bring you down to your darkest hour. Your heart is capable of doing all of that, without any effort of your own. What an amazin g instrument you carry inside of you. The trouble is you’re
not okay with the full range of your heart. You want to control your heart so
it only plays the notes you can handle. Spirituality is about learning to thank your heart for the beautiful
expressions it is creating within you. Unfortunately, you’re going to find out
that you can’t do that all the time. There are vibrations your heart is capable
of making that you’re not willin g to experience. It’s as though you are not
evolved enough to handle the fullness of your heart, so you resist it. Just like
you resist the world when it is not how you want, you resist your heart when
you’re not comfortable with its expressions. As you expand and grow spirit ually, your range of comfort with the
outside world will become wider and wider, allowing you to handle more of
the moments passing before you. The same is true with your heart. As you
grow spiritually, through honoring your day-to-day experiences, you will
learn to become more comfortab le with your heart. As a child, the first time
you experienced fear or jealousy you might have been overwhelmed and
had difficulty holding yourself together. Over time, you became more
accustomed to these emotions and at least tried to deal with them. Perhaps
the best you could do at first was control your emotions and put on the
outward appeara nce of being okay. Though that’s not necessarily so healthy,
it is better than losing yourself completely and letting emotions overcome
you. If you let an unbridled emotion act out externally, it has the power to
change the course


 kind of
binge eater looking for a shortcut or a miracle. I started feeling trapped; I had the same discouraged, sort of
Kafkaesque sensation like I’d gotten back in my 30s. But then, over New Year’s, my husband and I were at our condo
in the desert and I saw Dr. Platt on television. Everything he saidmade so much sense that I made an appointment to see him! I brought my Kaiser folder to Dr. Platt, and he did a battery
of hormone tests. I found him easy to talk to. He also had meconsult with one of his nutritionists. At first I was cynical abouttalking to another nutritionist. I have been through a lot ofnutrition classes sponsored by Kaiser. That’s another insultingthing they do when you are looking for help with weight loss: theymake you take these classes. I’ve been through umpteen nutritionclasses and cholesterol classes and so forth. You name it and Kaiserwants to put you through it. Dr. Platt’s team is welcoming. They really have knowledge
that helps you and a way of sharing it that I understood. Dr. Platt told me that when I lost weight my cholesterol
would go down. My cholesterol was 293 when I went in there.Kaiser had wanted me to take Zocor for my high cholesterol,which is one of about three or four statin drugs on the market. ButI said no. Dr. Platt and I are working on my cholesterol withniacin and thyroid. Within the first two months of starting withDr. Platt, my cholesterol dropped 50 points. When the hormone tests came back, Dr. Platt and I sat down
and went over them. My low thyroid was still there, and Dr. Plattadjusted my thyroid, giving me T3 in addition to T4. Heexplained to me why the Synthroid by itself wasn’t helping me. Itmade me angry to think I had been faithfully taking this stuff for20 years and it had been doing nothing for me. As I lost weight I gained energy. It became easier to do just
about anything. So far I’ve lost 38 pounds. I weigh 202 now. But194 THE MIRACLE OF BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES  I’m wearing a size 16 and there’s no flab! I used to feel impaired,
but I’m not impaired anymore. I have no problems getting up offof the sofa or in and out of a restaurant booth. I’ve always been an active person even when it was a struggle
to move around. I still work in a gift shop every day, sing in achoir, volunteer at my T emple, teach piano privately at home, andcook with my husband every night. My ideal weight is 141. I amconfident I will get there. NEAR MISSES
Over the years I’ve seen a lot of patients like Margaret—very
smart people who try to approach their weight problemsintelligently but still can’t lose weight. I find their situationsespecially poignant. With all of their reading and detectivework, they’re nonetheless thwarted by our popular culture ofdieting and our uninformed medical system. Margaret madesome good inroads, but she just didn’t take the right path to getto where she wanted to go. She had read Dr. Lee and under-stood the value of natural progesterone. Unfortunately, the typeof progesterone he promotes is not in a high enough strength.He recommends the over-the-counter type of progesterone,which is 20 milligrams, and a woman generally needs about200 milligrams a day. Margaret also suspected that she had a thyroid problem,
and her doctors determined that it was true. But they placedher on the wrong thyroid medication. This is extremelycommon, as you’ve already seen with Brenda J. and Rhonda Y.She was given the T4-only hormone Synthroid when she alsoneeded T3. That’s the most common error made by conven-tional doctors when treating over-weight people with under-active thyroid glands. They don’t realize that people can have195 BATTLING THE MEDICAL ESTABLISHMENT normal levels of T4 and still be hypothyroid. Few doctors look
at a patient’s T3 levels, T3 being the active hormone thatregulates metabolism. The logical question here is: Why don’tdoctors start looking at T3 levels so they can cover all the basesfor their patients suffering from hypothyroidism? YO-YO DIETING AND WEIGHT LOSS
Margaret is the type of person who has the most difficult
time losing weight. Her long history of repeated diets hadturned her body into an extremely efficient, sophisticatedfat-storing machine. The body does not know about weight loss—it only
understands the threat of starvation. Its main concern issurvival. When insufficient quantities of fuel are consumed, itnaturally thinks it may be facing starvation, so it begins tocreate and store fat in a highly efficient manner. This is an important point that bears repeating. People
interested in losing weight need to understand how their bodyoperates. The body likes fat. It likes to create it and hold ontoit and does not like to burn it. When people go on starvation weight loss programs, most
of the weight loss that occurs is muscle loss—the body doesnot want to burn fat when it is starving. Muscle weighs at leastthree times as much as fat, so people lose weight rapidly, whichmakes them happy. This happiness, unfortunately, is short-lived because there is a rapid regaining. Less muscle tissuemeans less room for carbohydrate (sugar) storage (as glycogen),so any excess is apt to be stored in the fat cells. And lessmuscle means less fat is burned, since muscle is the fat-burning tissue of the body.196 THE MIRACLE OF BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES  Added to this, the body becomes even more efficient at stor-
ing fat. The bottom line is: cutting calories is probably not thebest weight loss approach for long-term weight management. Fat is a very efficient fuel—it burns at nine calories per
gram—and the body wisely reserves its most efficient fuel forlast. A good example of this is Karen Carpenter, the singer whodied of anorexia nervosa. This was a woman who placed herbody in a continuous state of starvation. When they did herautopsy, they discovered she had almost no heart muscle. Herbody had eaten its most vital organ rather than give up its lastounce of fat. A MORE ENLIGHTENED APPROACH
Could anyone have been more proactive, determined, and
methodical in her search for weight management thanMargaret? And yet her search went on, unsuccessfully, for 37years. That’s how difficult it is to get help with obesity in thisculture! It is time to change our assumptions about whypeople’s bodies store fat. And it’s time to offer patients a moreenlightened and helpful approach to weight loss.197 BATTLING THE MEDICAL ESTABLISHMENT WHY WE DON’T HA VE
PREVENTIVE MEDICINE
IN THIS COUNTRY
chapter TWENTY–FOUR
Preventive medicine is almost non-existent in this country. When you talk to some doctors about preventive medicine,they think you’re talking about giving flu shots. However, manypeople assume “preventive medicine” refers to preventing heartattacks, strokes, cancer, diabetes, and other serious conditions. If we look at statistics, it becomes clear that over the past
60 years the incidence of these medical conditions has notdiminished. Despite the proliferation of drugs and newmedical technology, nothing much has changed. NO PROFIT MOTIVE
Almost everything doctors learn in medical school about
treating patients is based on research done by drug companies.This is why most doctors have little basic knowledge of naturalhormones—drug companies cannot patent natural products.Even endocrinologists, who specialize in hormones, for themost part only feel comfortable using the synthetic hormonesproduced by drug companies, not natural bio-identical
199hormones that match the hormones produced by the body. Along these same lines, doctors learn little preventive
medicine in medical school because drug companies have nointerest in preventing disease—why should they? There’s noprofit for drug companies in treating the root causes of heartattacks, strokes, diabetes, and cancer. The entire medicalestablishment is geared toward treatment, not prevention. Forthe most part, drug companies develop drugs to treatsymptoms of disease. Antibiotics are the only drugs thatactually address and cure the disease itself. Even insurance companies—which have the most to gain
from doctors practicing effective preventive medicine—playinto this system by discounting the importance of properscreening procedures. By and large, insurance companies areloath to pay for simple screening tests, the kind that could helppatients head off diseases they might be prone to developing.When a doctor or patient requests coverage for a blood test orany other study, the insurance company normally responds byasking for a diagnosis to support the doctor’s reason for doingthe test. Well, if there is a diagnosis, the patient already has the
disease. The whole point of screening is to prevent the diseasefrom coming on in the first place. There is a blood test called CA-125 that allows doctors to
screen for cancer of the ovaries. This condition, found inone out of every 50 women, is 100 percent curable ifdiagnosed early and almost 100 percent fatal after it hasspread. Insurance companies will not cover a CA-125 as ascreening test but will pay for it once you have the condition. This is especially galling in light of how eager the medical
community is to place women on estrogen, a substance thatplaces them at serious risk for cancer of the ovaries. Estrogen isstill one of the largest-selling drugs in the

Evaluating your score. Although everyone usually checks at least a
few answers in both sections, you will probably find that you scored
higher in one section than the other. If you scor ed higher on Part 1,  you tend to be time-bound. For you,
time is linear; it often runs short and will eventually run out. Relying
on outside approval, motivation, and love, you have not grappled
with your inner  world as much  as with the external one. You are
likely to value excitement and positive emotions more highly than
inner peace and nonattachmen t. You may cherish being loved by
others too much and lose the opportunity to find self-acceptance.If you scored higher on Part 2, you tend to be timeless in your
awareness. Your sense of loving and being loved is based on a secure
relationship with yourself. You value detachment over
possessiveness; your motivations tend to be internal rather than
external. At some time in your life you have had a sense of being
larger than your limited physical self; your life may have been shaped
by decisive experiences of God or your higher Self. Where others
fear loneliness, you are grateful for your aloneness—solitude has
developed your ability to know who you are. Most people have very little notion of how much effort they expend to
keep themselves trapped in time-bound awareness. In their natural state,
both body and mind attempt to dischar ge negative energies as soon as they
are felt. A baby cries when it is hungry, thrashes when it chafe s, and falls
asleep when it becomes exhausted. Once you reach adulthood, however,
spontaneous expression has largely been squelched in favor of behavior that
is safe, socially  acceptable, calculated to get what you want, or simply
habitual. This loss of spontane ity is a result of not living in the present,
which I discuss ed earlier. But there is another result I haven’ t discussed : the
loss of timelessness. When the human organism is dischar ging its negative experiences
efficiently, the mind is empty of past or future concerns; there is no worry,
anticipation, or regret. This means that the mind is left open to Being, the
simplest state of awareness. To support the mind in this open state, the body
must be relaxed and flexible. Without stored stress, the aging process
cannot gain a foothold. Thus, the most natural and easy experie nce anyone
can have is that of timeless mind and ageless body. Unfortuna tely, normal
life is far from this state. We are all time-bound, and only on the rarest
occasions—generally when we least expect it—do we manage to break in to
a conscious experience of our true nature. And in a world hungry for
spiritual contact  and so desperately lacking it, one taste of the timeless
creates an earthquake in a person’ s awareness.I’d like to offer an example of someone whose life was completely
changed by such an experience,  the spiritual teacher and writer Alan Watts. As a young man, Watts was inspired to try to find the right attitude toward
meditation. He knew that meditation was practiced in the great spiritual
traditions so that a person could escape the bonds of everyday existence, but
his medi tations were uncomforta ble, boring, and did little more than remind
him of how limited he was. Watts had noted  that many of the methods of the East are contradictory
and mutually exclusive. Some masters say the mind should watch itself,
some say that it is absolutely forbidden for the mind to watch itself. Some
say that the mind should be controlled like a wild elephant tied to a stake,
others say it should be allowed to run free. In sheer disgust he decided to
reject them all. One day he took no special attitude and found, amazingly,
that this letting go of expectations was enough to free him. “In the force of throwing them away,” Watts wrote, “it seemed that I
threw myself away as well. For quite suddenly the weight of my own body
disappeared. I felt that I owned  nothing, not even a self, and that nothing
owned me. The whole world became as transparent and unobstructed as my
own mind. The ‘problem of life’ simply ceased to exist, and for about
eighteen hours I and everything around me felt like the wind blowing leaves
across a field on an autumn day.”
This is a wonderfully evocative depiction of what it is to go beyond time
and space. The sense of freedom, of throwing away the old baggage, arises
automatically once a person stops relating only to his limited self. What is
this thing you call “me”? A reference point built up from memo ries. Just as
a bride has a specific referenc e point that she can call on to relive her
wedding day, the content of your mind is built up of similar reference points
—holographic packages of old experience—that you use to define who you
are. “I” am the one who was born in 1946, went to Catholic school, was
afraid to tell my mother I wet the bed, got a stuffed elephant for Christmas
when I was 8, married too young, dropped out of college, and so on,
endlessly. The buildup of memory accumulates until a rigid structure has
been amassed. This is your self-image. In moments of deepest awareness we completely transcend self-image. Paradoxically, this is when the spiritual masters say the Self is trulyexperienced, for the total absence of self-image leaves pure selfhood
exposed. Compared to the rigidity of your ordinary sense of “I,” the Self is
a living, flowing sense of identity that is never exhausted. It is a state
beyond change, no matter whether you experience it as a baby, a child, a
young adult, or an old man. Alan Watts had an unobscured experience of the Self, which is available
to everyone. You don’t have to do anything to find the Self—you have to
stop doing anything. You have to stop identifying with your self-image and
its context of memories and linear time. “I use memory,” an Indian master
once remarked,  “I don’t let memory use me.” This is a crucial point. Memory is just frozen time. It is impossible for the time-based mind to see
the timeless, for what we call time is actually quantified bits of immortality. Reality is an ocean, but we take it away in teacups. When Watts fell into Reality, the ocean of timelessness, his perception
changed. Instead of feeling bound up and suffocated (which is how all of us
feel, although we might not be able to articulate it), he had an “oceanic
feeling,” a phrase coined by Freud to indicate the sense of merging with the
whole. Time-based existence isn’t whole and never can be, because it is by
definition made of fragments. Toppling Linear Time
When Einstein popped the bubble of the space-time illusion, he didn’ t do it
just in his mind; something very real happened. One of Nature’ s absolutes
was suddenly gone. By taking down linear time, Einstein took down three-
dimensional space with it, for our perception of space from the air, showing
us that the runway lights are ten feet apart, totally changes when the
observer changes his position. From the vantage point of a higher altitude,
the runway lights get closer and closer together, until finally one rises to
outer space, and the lights disappear. At the core of reality, Einstein said, linear time evaporates completely,
pooling out like a stream overflowing its banks. In the physics before
Einstein, a particle whizzing past an observer was thought to follow astraight-line trajectory, the kind that arrows, cannonballs, and bullets follow
after they are fired. Here are two points separated in time, and the arrow represents the most
basic event in the universe, the passage of time from point A to point B. The reason why you can move through time is that particles and energy
waves do, formi ng the basis of past, present, and future. Some particle was
once at A, is now traveling toward B, and eventually will get there. But
with great mathematical precision, Einstein (aided by a pioneering
generation of other great physicists) proved that reality looks more like a
pool of

 ego is out of the way. This is a technique that will help you
to project unconditional love. If all you are is a being of unconditional love, you are not involved
in ego concerns. When you operate from this perspective you are
practicing detachment in a state of gentleness, which makes you a
compassionate witness toward everyone and everything you come
into contact with. It is magical to be able to extend this kind of con-
sciousness beyond your form. This is the resolution of that great
97
WAYNE W. DYER
mystery of how to connect to and know God. That is, not to know
about God, but to know God. The process of being a detached observer occurs in the silence of
your contemplations or meditations. Begin by seeking out time to be
quiet and enter this inner place of love. It is in that silence that you
will come to truly know this divine energy of unconditional love. Most people in the western world have a great deal of difficulty
with any prolonged periods of silence. They fill those moments with
music, conversation, radio and television and anything else they can
use to avoid the silence. Our culture is a noisy culture. ;
When I attempt to meditate and just observe the silence, I deal
with vacuums, power mowers, tree trimmers, portable leaf blowers,
edgers and the many machines that move earth and sand, bulldoze,
clean and on and on. All of these noise machines have power sources
that pollute the world with loud noise. It takes practice to learn to
transcend this by going within and screening out the noise pollution. The noisy world will still filter into quiet time unless you can get far
enough into nature to avoid it. Our preoccupation with noise satisfies the ego’s need to escape
the serenity and unconditional love of the divine intelligence that is
God. But you can become a detached observer if you make the
choice to simply remove your ego from the story line and allow your
higher self to take over. Become an unconditionally loving observer
rather than an ego-involved participant. Let go of your inclination to judge and moralize and take person-
ally what you notice. Simply become the noticer. You are then align-
ing yourself with God, allowing all to bask in his loving blessing
instead of the ego frantically insisting that there is a superior way. Being godly means expressing the love that is within you. It is much
more than simply being close to it. You must be it in oneness with
the universal being of God. 98
Manifest Your Destiny
WHAT IT MEANS TO BE IN ONENESS
What has come to be referred to as “the will of God” is an inven-
tion of man to gain control over others. If you are convinced that
there is a God’s will that is separate from you, then those who claim
they know God’s will can dominate and control you. If you adopt this
belief system, then you fall into the trap of “his will versus my will. ”
You want to do certain things, but the “will of God” dictates other-
wise. Unconditional love and becoming a co-creator in your life is pos-
sible when you know that God is not separate from you. You and God
are one and the same. In the New Testament Jesus says to the multi-
tudes, “. I have said ye are Gods,” and later, “When a man believes
in me, he does not believe in me only, but in the one who sent me. When he looks at me he sees the one who sent me. ” (John, 10:34;
12:44)
What it means to be in a state of oneness is that you know the
unconditional love that God has for all of creation is also the uncon-
ditional love that can be you, if you make that choice. Your free will is
your freedom to embrace any thought that you desire. This free will
is your gift from God. Use this free will in a spirit of love that has no
conditions imposed on it. The love that God has for you is without condition. There is no
restriction or censorship placed on this love granted to you by the
divine creator. You have complete freedom to do as you will, for your
will and God’s will are one and the same. You have the freedom to
choose your thoughts within this grand scheme of unconditional
love. If it is the same as God’s love for you, then you are living uncondi-
tional oneness. If you place restrictions on that love, or withhold it
dependent on your judgments and hatreds, then you make it a condi-
tional love and remove yourself from the possibility of co-creating

with God. You are in conflict with the divine essence that is God. This conflicted state is nothing more than the imposition of condi-
tions on your ability to love. Suppose that God decided to withdraw his unconditional love
from you and the world and conditions were placed upon everything. In this kind of world the people in it would have to function without
freedom of thought and expression. The entire cosmos would col-
lapse in an instant. Life flows with the freedom of unconditional love. This is the very
essence of life. No deity demands that you think a certain way or you ©
will be cursed and destroyed. In our world we have unconditional
freedom for our thoughts to be what they are. That is how you are
loved. That is your gift from the divine creator, expressed through
your individuality. Take that freedom away and you are no longer a
human being. You lose your humanity when you lose the uncondi-
tional love that allows you to think as you choose. Now suppose that you are able to function in the same uncondi-
tionally loving way, simply allowing yourself to be without judgment. What if you have no hatred and only extend the freedom to choose
to others. You would be experiencing what is called “oneness. ” Your
will and God’s will would not be in conflict. The conflicts that you experience are from the ego. Your ego is the
idea you carry around of your separateness from God and all of
God’s creations. This ego needs to be reminded of its superiority
over others. Thus conflict is created. But you do not have to partici-
pate in this folly. Your highest self only wants peace and is uncondi-
tional love. Use this love for the purpose of co-creation. Every moment that
you create by radiating unconditionally loving thoughts is a reflection |
of the same love that was responsible for your creation. Creating (or
manifesting) is the act of bringing unconditional love from within

your being into a form that we call the world of the concrete. In this
sense, then, unconditional love can be thought of as the power to
participate in the act of co-creation. UNCONDITIONAL LOVE AS POWER
Those who seem to have the gift of attracting to themselves all
manner of good things in their lives are said to be empowered in
some mysterious way. The ability to reach a higher state of being,
where there seems to be almost no delay between the creation of a
thought form and having that thought form “show up,” can be
viewed in terms of unconditional love and an absence of demanding
from or judging the world. This is a power that I know is possible for each of us when we
begin to adopt these basic principles of spiritual manifestation. Most
of us simply do not recognize how truly powerful we are by virtue of
our own ability to create thoughts, and out of these thoughts attract
to ourselves the abundance of the universe. When we think rationally
about this power we immediately think of the conflict between hav-
ing a free will and having a destiny. This conflict often obviates the
need within us to think and live in unconditionally loving ways. Our
rational left brain says, “If it is already determined, then I have no
free will, and therefore anything I think has been predetermined, so I
am doomed. ”
Let’s take a quick look at this matter of destiny, since it is in the
