Graceful

Humans suffer because we do not know who we are. We over rely on our senses thus the superstition of materialism as Deepak calls it that is, the lure of happiness from things and circumstance rather than from within. We are one with all life; the essence, One, Spirit, never changes. This book can help one burst through the delusions that grip our lives, the habits that lock us into ignoring cause and effect (such as human impact on climate,) and ignoring the miracle of life that surrounds us; we need to get back in synch with our essence. Spend time in nature to find the rhythm of life that flows like the water through all; feel the connection. "Every decision we make is either a miracle or a grievance." From a Course on Miracles. "Out beyond ideas of right doing and wrong doing, there is a field. I'll meet you there." ~Rumi I love the quotes and confidence with which Deepak writes he knows this is true and then we do by reading it and knowing from the knowing that is wordless; we are just forgetting the truth because we are sleepwalking or allowing the message machine to delude us further. Stay in the moment; breathe out and in; "to be whole is to live in grace." Gratefully and Gracefully.

Power Freedom and Grace

I just wanted to tell you what a profound experience I had reading Deepak's new book, Power Freedom and Grace. Deepak has a way of taking very complicated issues and making them understandable. Everything he says makes perfect sense, as if I already knew it, and this has given me a complete sense of calm. I love his quote about happiness: The only way to find lasting happiness is to stop looking for it and realize that you already have it. You would also not believe the synchronicities I have been experiencing since reading Power Freedom and Grace. Just yesterday I was annoyed that a car was holding up traffic, only to realize the license plate which read MORE JOY. I had to laugh!

Bravo Deepak!

Wow! I've read many of Deepak's books but this one seems to crystallize the wealth of information he has taught over the years. This book is an experience. It elevated me. I know I will read it over and over again. Bravo Deepak!

Profound, practical and enduring wisdom

POWER, FREEDOM and GRACE is a fascinating, must-read book for anyone who is a fan of Deepak Chopra, and if you are not already a fan, you are sure to become one after reading this book. Every chapter starts out with a question, and the questions are ones we all want to answer at some point in our lives. "What do I want?, Who am I?, How do I participate in creating my reality?" Not only will you find the answers to these questions, but you will also acquire a whole new perspective of your reality and the world as you know it. In Chopra's words, "Our real essence is a field of consciousness that is powerful, unbounded and free." Sounds good, but how does it work? With the findings of modern science and Chopra's extraordinary knowledge in the field of mind-body medicine, he expertly guides you on a journey of discovery of how we come into existence, create our reality, and are not separate from anything, but a part of all that is. Chopra has left me with little doubt that we can all transform by "getting in touch with our inner self, the source of all being." And by transforming, what awaits me is "knowing true happiness, the intoxication of love, spirit flowing in its pure essence -- unimpeded, unrestricted, full of mystery, magic, and adventure." This book is an adventure in itself and one that I will read over and over again. If you are going to buy a copy, you won't want to part with it.
