When we have a loving thought or focus on a happy memory or feeling, our brain triggers a cascade of molecules that promote wellbeing in our physiology. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;On the other hand, when we hold onto emotions such as anger, fear, and doubt, this creates stress and damage in the body. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Through meditation, we can reverse the effects of accumulated stress and toxicity.  Meditation takes us into inner silence, allowing the body to restore balance and repair itself.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>These are the words of Dr. Deepak Chopra, probably the most powerful mind-body leader alive. He&#8217;s certainly been an important mentor for me.<\/p>\n<p>Right now, you can join me in absorbing the peace and beauty of his meditations, at no charge.<\/p>\n<p>Although the 21 Day program began last week, you can still gain access to all of the meditations.
