Review & Summary: The New Physics of Healing By Deepak Chopra


My partner was out of town and it was a Saturday. Whenever she's not with me on a weekend I find that I always end up at our local Botanical Gardens, hiking the trails and sitting still with nature.


The drive to this garden is about 20 minutes long - an opportunity I revel in by listening to podcasts or interviews with writers like Mary Oliver, listening to an old Billie Holiday CD with melodies that fit perfectly with the dance of the sunlight and the rush of the wind, OR, by opening the most recent audiobook I've borrowed from the local library and popping it in to see what I can learn about the world, our bodies, and the universe. This time, I listened to The New Physics of Healing by Deepak Chopra.



The talk, recorded in front of a live audience in 1990, begins with Chopra setting the intention: "I want to talk about the quantum mechanical body." starting with an understanding of the concepts of perception.


*A lot of what I share here will be direct quotes along with some of my own reflections.
