Coast to Coast AM – The Power of Coincidence with Deepak Chopra part 9/11
11-12-2003
Acknowledged as one of the world’s greatest leaders in the field of mind body medicine, Deepak Chopra, M.D. continues to transform our understanding of the meaning of health. Through his creation of The Chopra Center for Well Being in California in 1995, Chopra established a formal vehicle for the expansion of his healing approach using the integration of the best of western medicine with natural healing traditions.
Dr. Chopra serves as the Director of Education at The Chopra Center, which offers training programs in mind body medicine (Journey into Healing). The University of California, San Diego School of Medicine has granted continuing medical education credits for this program, which satisfies requirements for the American Medical Association Physicians Recognition Award. Through his partnership with David Simon, M.D. and numerous health care professionals in both conventional and complementary healing arts, Chopra’s work is changing the way the world-views physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and social wellness.
The Power of Coincidence
“There is a domain of consciousness where everything is inseparably one,” said Deepak Chopra, M.D. (chopra.com), a leader in the field of mind body medicine, who was Wednesday’s main guest. Chopra was discussing coincidences and suggested that when people have one they may have accidentally bumped into the “non-local” field where everything is connected.
He outlined a number of steps for harnessing the power of these coincidences, which included:
* Learn to see the universe as an extension of yourself.
* Identify whether your internal dialogue originates from either ego or spirit.
* Learn to go beyond emotional turbulence.
* Embrace your archetypal higher energies
.
Chopra revealed that the profound philosopher J. Krishnamurti had been a great influence on him, and in his work he sought to reframe some of Krishnamurti’s ideas to a larger audience. He invited listeners to check out the Alliance for the New Humanity, an organization he is involved with, that will be holding a symposium in Puerto Rico in December to “dream together a new reality.”

Hair Growth Advice – Reduce Amount Of Stress In Your Life
One of the major contributing factors of hair loss is stress. Stress causes hair loss as it constricts the blood vessels in the scalp, and this in turn prevents the scalp from receiving the nutrients that it needs in order to grow hair.
For most individuals, stress is a part of everyday life, whether it is work-related, financial or emotional. This constant stress takes a toll on the body, and one’s hair often suffers visible damage. The hair on the scalp gets thin, it loses its shine and in many cases it also falls out. Thinking and worrying about hair loss increases stress levels and can serve to accelerate one’s rate of hair loss. Instead of focusing on what can be done to promote hair growth, individuals lament over their hair loss and reminisce about how their hair used to look years ago.
The best thing to do when overwhelmed by stress is to take up activities which help to reduce the amount of pressure and tension that is being felt. One activity that I would strongly recommend is aerobic exercise. Aerobic exercise releases endorphins in the body. Endorphins produce a sense of well-being, a feeling of deep relaxation.
I have found that this relaxed state can last for several hours. During this period of time, my mind does not race between thoughts as it usually does. I am more focused on the task at hand and not as easily distracted. I find that if I ride the treadmill before going to work, I am able to work very efficiently for the entire morning, and my mind does not wander off into thoughts about hair loss. Overall, I feel that my stress levels are lower on days when I can squeeze a workout in.
When performing aerobic workouts, I think it is a very good idea to exercise with a friend. Aerobic workouts can be very grueling, and it is great to have a friend with you who can motivate you to do your best. If you are used to running two miles, for example, a friend can motivate you to run two and a half miles. If you are running alone and reach the two mile mark and are exhausted, there would be no one to encourage you to increase your personal best. At the same time, you can also provide motivation to your friend to run a little further than he previously has. By performing aerobic workouts with a friend, it is easier to make improvements in your performance.
After performing aerobic exercises for several weeks, I noticed that my scalp did not feel as tight as it once did. The blood flow to the scalp had improved, and it was now able to receive the important nutrients that it needed in order to promote hair growth. My hair was regaining the shine that it once had, and it no longer looked dull and lifeless.
Dietary habits are very important in order to have healthy hair, but it is also very important to control your stress levels so that your hair can reap the maximum benefits of the healthy foods that you eat.

A Better Sleep Environment Can Help You Sleep
Whether you are aware of this or given it any thought or not, but your sleep environment can have a profound effect on the quality of your sleep.
Let’s take a look at some helpful tips that will help you get the most out of your sleeping time.
The Room Temperature -
Not only can the temperature of your room affect your ability to get a good night’s sleep but so can the humidity of the room as well. Ideally, your room should feel slightly cool when you first enter it. This will ultimately match more closely to that of your body when you are in the deep midst of your sleep.
This is not too difficult of a task if you are the only sleeper in the room. Needless to say adjusting the temperature is a different matter when another opinion in the ideal temperature is involved. If this is case, some testing and compromising will usually bring an equitable solution to all parties. In fact, sometimes just using a small fan on the side of the bed that likes a cooler temperature can work very well.
Noise Level -
Needless to say that a quiet environment is much more conducive to restful sleep than that of one that is not. It doesn’t matter what the source of the noise, any inconsistent or irregular noise can lead to inconsistency in your sleeping patterns.
There are adjustments that you can make to reduce the amount of noise in your sleeping environment. Many times a fan in the room makes for a great noise reducer. A fan (or anything that will produce a constant monotone noise) will many times offer enough insulation from erratic noise such as a dog barking or traffic that you’ll be able to get a good night’s rest.
Other techniques you can use would be to put heavier curtains on your windows, replace your windows with double or triple paned glass, or invest in some ear plugs.
Your Bedside Clock -
Don’t be a clock watcher and keep worrying about the fact that if you don’t fall asleep soon you’re going to be soooo tired. Set your alarm and then turn the clock away from you so you can’t crack an eye open and see the time… trust your body and your alarm to wake you at the proper time.
Sleep In A Good Bed -
The size of your bed and the type of mattress you are trying to sleep on does make a difference. Take the time to pick out a bed and a mattress that fits you and feels comfortable. A high quality mattress will certainly require a larger investment on your behalf, but in the long run, your sleep and your health is by far worth the up front investment… and don’t stop with your mattress either make sure you pick some new soft and comfortable pillows that you like as well… trust me… the sleep difference can be dramatic.
Train Your Body -
Sleep and sleep only in your bed. Don’t use your bed for paying the bills, or even constantly watching the television. Teach and train your body the bed is for sleeping not conducting other life’s tasks.
Lighting -
The darker the better for the body to sleep peacefully. If you work nights and have to get your sleep during the day take measures to darken your bedroom as much as you possibly can by using heavier window coverings.
Your sleep and subsequently you health is a very important matter. If you are having trouble sleeping at night; don’t just keep doing the same thing your doing with your sleep habits and your sleep environment. Make some of the aforementioned adjustments and tweaks and perfect your sleeping environment… you’ll be glad you did.
