Prior to reading it, I had just listened to Chopra's "Magical Mind, Magical Body" for the THIRD time. Great wisdom there. He talks about the Ayurvedic concept of body types (doshas) and how to bring about balance when physical and emotional imbalances are preventing us from experiencing bliss. For example, a couch potato day with movies and comfort food would probably be very beneficial for my body type (and oh, so hard for my fast-paced do-er to allow). But for a kapha dosha, it would probably create further imbalance. Chopra talks about a variety of things to satisfy each body type--from activity or lack of it, fluids, temperatures, touch, sounds, smells and "pacifying" foods. And what about all that negative thinking that crowds out the joy? Allow those thoughts to escape on paper, or through vocalization or even by throwing your own little adult fit (might want to be sure you're alone). And let the positive affirmations begin to flow. Have a blissful day! Hi Ephraim,
