Perfect Health Course
Developed by DEEPAK CHOPRA, M.D. and DAVID SIMON, M.D., Co-founders of THE CHOPRA CENTER FOR WELLBEING and leaders in Mind/Body medicine.
Ayurveda, the 5,000-year-old healing system founded in ancient India, is derived from the Sanskrit words ayus meaning life, and veda meaning wisdom. Ayurveda, the wisdom of life, offers a proven guide for a life of happiness, vitality, love and purpose. From the Ayurvedic perspective, human beings are not viewed as mere thinking physical machines, but rather as fields of intelligence in dynamic exchange with the energy and information of the environment. Health is a state of vibrant balance in which all the layers of one’s life are integrated. The Perfect Health program provides the tools to enhance your physical and emotional well being through your conscious choices, enlivening the nourishing connection between mind, body and spirit.
By practicing the techniques learned in the Perfect Health program, you will be able to:
• Reduce stress
• Identify your mind-body personality
• Improve your digestion and sleep patterns
• Release emotional toxicity
• Create optimal daily nutrition
• Lower your blood pressure

Meditation Workshops - Meditation creates relaxation, concentration, peace, and can promote healing. You can also perform any activity with greater enthusiasm, efficiency, and energy. The key to meditation lies in harnessing the mind to create a focus of concentration until you reach the state of joy and bliss. You will learn and practice different meditation techniques at each workshop. Workshops are scheduled based on demand. Call for a reservation, donations accepted, no fee.
Heart Chakra Meditation Workshop - Learn meditation techniques to support your Anahata Chakra. The word Anahata literally translates as “un-stuck”. Chakra means wheel. We associate the wheel with seven focal points of power or energy centers in the body. The heart center is said to transform higher energy from the upper chakras into baser substance, so that the energy can move down the chakra, located along the spine, and manifest on a physical level.
What does this mean to you?
It can allow you to touch the joys of life in yourself and with others. An unbalanced heart chakra can manifest in a person’s emotions as feelings of loneliness, isolation and fear of being hurt; It can also cause you to feel heavy, lack joy, be possessive, jealous, or selfish. In your physical body an imbalance could display as asthma, pneumonia, chronic bronchitis since the heart chakra governs the heart and lungs. You may also experience shoulder or upper back pain, or lung or breast cancer.
