Which is probably why Deepak Chopra decided to hop on the Wii bandwagon and create Leela, an interactive meditation game for Xbox Kinect and Wii. Chopra told the Associated Press he hopes his game will provide an alternative to the less-beneficial games on the market: I personally believe that you can accelerate neural development and biological evolution through video games. Unfortunately, that’s not what we’re doing right now. What we’re doing is creating addictions to violence, adrenaline and mindlessness, rather than mindfulness. That was my personal moti...

Their suggestion is to no longer pay attention to that man behind the curtain. David H. Gorski, MD, PhD, at the blog Science-Based Medicine went after Dr. Oz for hosting segments about faith healing and consulting psychics. Dr. Gorski pulls no punches, saying, “Dr. Oz has in some ways imitated Oprah and in some ways gone her one better (one worse, really) in promoting the Oprah-fication of medicine. And this season has been a particularly bad one for science-based medicine on The Dr. Oz Show.” (Dr. Mehmet Oz may be using his “Degree in Thinkology” to come up with some of his show topics.) Val Jones, MD, the woman behind the...

Once one has experienced a few times what it is like to stand judgingly between the opposites, one begins to understand what is meant by the self. Anyone who perceives his shadow and his light simultaneously sees himself from two sides and thus gets in the middle. — Carl Gustav Jung The despised self, the disowned self, and the shadow: By any name psychology has acknowledged the dark side of our personality in many forms. It is also in literature (Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde) and at the movies (Black Swan) we may first come to know the shadow. Psychology has long since been trying to get us to deal with it. There is a way. The ultimate way of coping with it is to eat it. The Shadow Effect, by the leading spiritual healers of ...

And that is my previous total and utter ignorance of the life of Mohammad and the history of the Muslim faith. I can go even further and say it’s not only the history. I know very little about modern day Islam outside of the hyperbole and hatred spewed forth by the some of the main stream media and a (hopefully) handful of fundamentalist Christians. The recent “International Burn a Qur’an Day” suggested by the The Dove World Outreach Center (there’s an anomaly of a name if ever I heard one) and Pastor Terry Jones (sadly it’s not the Terry Jones of Monty Python fame, that would have...

Physical well being is inseparable from emotional well being. Happy people are healthy people. The wisdom traditions of the world tell us that happiness does not depend on what you have, but on who you are. Let’s take a moment to reflect on what really creates happiness in us. The following ten keys, gleaned from the wisdom traditions, may give us some insight. Listen to your body’s wisdom, which expresses itself through signals of comfort and discomfort. When choosing a certain behavior, ask your body, ‘How do you feel about this?’ If your body sends a signal of physical or emotional distress, watch out. If your body sends a signal of comfort and eagerness, proceed. Live in the present, for it is the only moment you have. Keep your attention on what ...
