If you are in need of healing, don't pass up this book!

I am a fan of Deepak Chopra's teachings, and this book did not let me down. He has taken on the very core of our physical existence with how your body is a complex energy with the ability to heal itself without any interference from outside sources. If you or a loved one is in need of a miracle, this book has specific steps on how to bring the miracle into your life. The examples in the book are very timely and relevant. The fact that identical twins are born with exactly the same DNA and genes, but by age 70 are nothing alike is just one example of how we have proof that we control the destiny of our bodies. Genetics has been touted as the road map of disease and aging, however, scientist have now discovered that the very genes that control aspects of disease can be "turned off" if only we understand how. The science of healing through energy is not new. Chinese medicine has been using this for thousands of years. This book might be the key to opening a field of science that has been missing in our quest to unlock the key to long and healthy life.

SOME WONDERFUL INSIGHTS

I am a big Chopra fan and this book stands out as one of his best. I recently read a novel called THE ATLANIS CODE by Charles Brokaw which Deepak Chopra gave a wonderful quote for and I absolutly loved the novel.

Experience overwhelming change by reading this book.

Deepak Chopra's new book, "Reinventing the Body, Resurrecting the Soul" is a guide for people interested in changing their lives and broadening their horizons. It is a book that is best read slowly and carefully. It explains how to change your way of thinking, how to broaden your life and the way you live, and offers tips to managing the stressors of your daily life in terms you can easily understand. The book is divided into sections that detail how to reinvent your body and your soul, while offering ten steps to wholeness. Explaining the process as described in the book is difficult, so I won't try to go into it here. Suffice it to say, that the instructions center on improving awareness of self and others, emphasizing love of self and others and offers strategies for finding, understanding and revealing the true nature of your soul. Most people go their entire lives without thinking about their soul. This is because the soul is seen as separate from our daily lives, coming into action only at death. Dr. Chopra's book reveals that the soul is part of your every day life, and has always been there - a person just has to develop an awareness of the soul in order to learn how to nurture it, allowing each of us to live to our fullest potential. My favorite section of the book relates to "letting go." In this section the soul and the ego are at first incompatible, until they are reconciled by describing why we constantly react the way we do to being judged, or not being accepted by others. Each section of the book comes with real life examples and stories from other people's lives. The stories are real and are always on point, illustrating a facet of life that we will all find familiar to our own situation. The book is interesting, insightful, potentially life changing and important to read now. I would also add that anyone who is struggling with personal issues to read this book. The insights gained will allow anyone to reframe his or her perspective - which is usually when the real answers to our problems magically come to us, wouldn't you agree?

Keeping it simple

Chopra has kept the information in the book simple. Too many times this subject matter is made so complex and "hocus pocus". After working in the Counseling field for over 25 years I am glad to see a book with a simplistic delivery. So many people are lost to this information in addition to being turned off by their previous "old school" therapy; that has failed them, and this book is welcoming to those individuals.

Insightful, practical and uplifting

Dr. Chopra breaks new ground in this book where he takes us beyond the body and soul connection and reveals how the sequence of breakthroughs in consciousness we can reinvent an entirely new body and resurrect our soul. The series of transformational ideas are well explained and the personal stories he recounts really bring the points home. Finally, the exercises that are included allow you to make the knowledge your own. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
