Bought This Book for My Father.......2007-07-23
I bought this book for my 82 year old Father after he was diagnosed with prostate cancer.
He told me the book was one of the best he had ever read. My father was a highly educated, intelligent man that gained inspiration from this book. I am grateful to Mr. Chopra for this.
Light, airy, positive but not profound.......2007-05-08
If you believe in kharma, this book will help you create good kharma. If you don't believe in kharma, it's basically a book on how to create harmony in your life and exist in a positive way. Hence, three stars. If you want a light positive read, and some helpful advice on how to conduct your life in a positive way, try it. If you want something profound, this isn't it.
Ageless Body Timeless Mind.......2007-04-10
wonderful source material. I bought and read it cover to cover 10 years ago and recently purchased it again as a gift for a friend who just turned 60. I do believe this to be a timeless book and as a psychotherapist recommend it to my clients.
WORD GAMES.......2006-03-16
AGELESS BODY is Deepak's attempt to neutralize the word "old" as in old age. The writer has a knack for making common words, like "body, "mind" and "self," into profound concepts. His technique is to overlay his abstract ideas with suggestive experimental studies. But ambiguity in interpreting these studies abound.
If you like poetry, Deepak may be your read: "The billions of changes occurring in our cells are only the passing scenery of life; (P. 36)" Or try to interpret this one: "The emptiness at the core of every atom is the womb of the universe; in the flicker of thought when two neurons interact there is an opportunity for a new world to be born. (P.40)"
At times he attributes to cells and DNA a creative intelligence to direct their own construction and at other times his designer is invisible. He would make a great spokesman for the current hocus pocus over "intelligent design." He can't accept the growth of any cell, even a plant cell, without an intelligence involved. He mentions and attacks evolution only one time on P. 115, asserting that the growth of a cell could never be a random process.
Deepak ends up in the very same thought circle as every other writer who tries to explain life in scientific terms: Intelligence is a self organizing entity and every cell evolved is only intelligence having a conversation with itself. Whether your word game tosses in the word "quantum" or not doesn't change much. What a solipsistic thought; what a solipsistic world. I wonder if his readers who actually experienced the oneness Deepak speaks of wouldn't, after awhile, go insane?
To Live To Eternity..........2005-12-13
How would it feel to live forever; could you feel young when your body looks old. Your body is aging beyond your control because it has been programmed to live out the rules of collective conditioning. What you need is the body/mind connection. Beginning at age 30, the average human body starts to come unhinged: wrinkles appear, skin loses tone and freshness, muscles sag, fat catches up with muscle, eyesight and hearing taper off. As the bones thin and become brittle and break easily, stamina and endurance decline. You just can't do the things you are used to doing. To transform the patterns of the past, you must know what they are made of and how to stop the progress of deterioration.
We use basic emotions controlled by hormones. "Without the feeling, there is no hormone; without the hormone, there is no feeling. ...there is no pain without nerve signals to transmit pain; there is no relief from pain without endorphins to block the signals. In body-mind medicine, wherever thought goes, a chemical goes with it." Thus, mind and body are inseparable one. Life unfolds as DNA imparts its coded intelligence to its active twin, RNA, which in turn "goes out into the cell and imparts bits of intelligence to thousands of enzymes, which then use their specific bit of intelligence to make proteins."
Medicine has used the mind-body connection for healing; defeating pain is a good example, or merely learning to moderate the chronic pain. "If we could effectively trigger the intention not to age, the body would carry it out automatically." Awareness makes a huge difference, as you can control what you know is happening. If you can free your mind not to relive the past or try to control the future, a space is opened for a completely new experience -- "the experience of ageless body and timeless mind."
Even in the make-believe world of television, age is the issue. In "The West Wing" the fictional president has to go, they say, because the real one is limited to two four-year terms (and he's had the Oval office for seven years already) but the producers of the program are after a younger audience. Of the two possible choices between a 69 year-old male and a Latin fiftish male, it will be younger to play like he lives in the White House. "Our past intentions can be changed and reawakened at any time. Long before you get old, you can prevent such losses by consciously programming your mind to remain youthful, using the power of your intention."
More recent books by Dr. Chopra include PEACE IS THE WAY: BRINGING WAR AND VIOLENCE TO AN END IN OUR TIME, THE COSMIC MIND AND SUBMANIFEST ORDER OF BEING and THE BOOK OF SECRETS: UNLOCKING THE HIDDEN DIMENSIONS OF YOUR LIFE.

There's more to yoga than stretching and bending and twisting. In Yoga for Wellness, one of America's top yoga teachers gives a clinic on the holistic nature of yoga practice, especially in regard to healing and well-being. With over a thousand photographs, Gary Kraftsow covers the basic postures, the specific movements of each posture, and how to sequence postures in a routine. More importantly, he moves from form to function, showing how sequences of postures can alleviate ailments in each system of the body, from lower back pain to hypertension--even depression and multiple sclerosis. In case studies of his own clients, we see how Kraftsow's holistic approach has him recommending not only posture prescriptions, but breathing exercises, sound techniques, and visualizations, not to mention such commonly neglected wisdom as eating a healthy breakfast and getting closer to nature. Yoga for Wellness is the rare yoga instruction manual that teaches the basics of yoga while also paying more than just lip service to the original intention of yoga--achieving a balance of mental, physical, and spiritual wellness. --Brian Bruya
Book Description
A fully illustrated, step-by-step guide to achieve wellness through Viniyoga
Mainstream America is finally catching on to what Eastern countries have known for thousands of years--that yoga is not only a great, low-impact way to increase flexibility and reduce stress, it is also useful in healing any number of afflictions, from common aches and pains to chronic diseases and emotional setbacks. In this easy to follow guide for practitioners at all levels, America's leading teacher of Viniyoga emphasizes the physical as well as the spiritual components of healing through yoga. Beginning with a general introduction, he then includes case studies and specific yoga sequences designed to address individual ailments. Best of all, each step of each posture in a sequence is clearly illustrated with its own photograph. The exercises in this book are truly transformative and certain to help those searching for alternatives to mainstream medicine and those looking for a way of becoming more involved in their own physical well-being.

"Herein lies a gold mine of practical knowledge for enlivening all aspects of the physiology. It is a book worthy of study, which no doubt will enlighten the reader in unexpected ways each time it is opened." -- from the Introduction by Scott Gerson, M.D., The National Institute of Ayurvedic Medicine

The best for healing.......2006-08-07
I've purchased many copies of this book for friends who are involved with healing. It provides the yoga poses and complete yoga sequences for each needed type of healing. Presentation is clear and complete. And, even better, there is an excellent index.
Useful for healing different problems.......2006-05-17
This book kept me from having surgery. I tore 2 knee ligaments skiing. I'm not into surgery, so I did the knee yoga practice from this book for a few weeks; then had an MRI. The ligaments were completely torn but my knee was functional and didn't hurt. The orthopedic doctor was so impressed...he said he had never seen a torn knee that was so functional before. He sent me to PT for a few more weeks, and I was fine.
I've also used the practices in the book for different digestive disorders & I've had great results.
The back of the book is more about healing conditions, the front is more about moving in different directions.
This book is perfect for Yoga students and Teachers........2006-02-09
I read this book as part of Teacher's Training course for Yoga. I found this book to be very informative. It gives you detailed instructions and Yoga positions that will help with different ailments and diseases. Also learning the bone structures and parts of the body was helpful, while studying Teachers Training for Yoga. I liked this book very much. I also thought Gary Kraftsow's writing was down to earth so that everyone can understand.
A very nice guide to yoga's benefits for physical health and overall wellness.......2005-11-05
I purchased this book because it seemed to contain information similar to another yoga manual, The Anatomy of Hatha Yoga, but with the information presented in a more down-to-earth, less scientific manner (The Anatomy of Hatha Yoga is excellent, just a bit above my head!). This book is neither strictly a reference tool nor a specific practice guide, yet author Kraftsow touches on both of these areas. He presents information mainly in the form of vignettes describing past clients with whom he has worked. After providing an overview of the anatomical issues involved in various types of posture groups, Kraftsow goes into therapeutic applications of yoga, covering complaints ranging from common aches and pains to physical diseases to emotional issues. He stresses the importance of customizing the prescribed yoga routine to each individual, but the wealth of information provided offers plenty of guidelines to allow readers to develop their own specialized practices. This book would also be very useful for yoga teachers looking for assistance in providing their students with individualized guidance, particularly with respect to wellness issues. Highly recommended work to anyone looking to enhance health and wellness through yoga.
If you can't trust the writer, don't buy the book.......2005-07-04
I bought this book when it first came out in 1999. Soon afterwards, I attended an expensive, 3-hour "workshop" taught by Mr. Kraftsow in Boston. I was quite excited to attend the workshop, as I was interested in learning more about his yoga practice, but found the book too poorly written to translate into practice.
Problem was, Mr. Kraftsow treated his workshop as just another book promotion opportunity and talked about himself and his book for more than 2.5 hours, leaving less than a half hour for actual yoga practice. Even worse, he insulted people from different geographic areas and suggested that many yoga practitioners were miserable because they didn't eat enough sugar!
When I got home from his workshop, I threw his book away. If an author is that untrustworthy, I don't want to follow his yoga either.

Best health book out there!.......2007-07-08
This book is great! Andreas is easy to read, and understandable. His explanations are logical and the remedies are easy to do. This is the most comprehensible health book I have.
Johnny Appleseed of the 21st century..........2007-03-17
...if you have any interest in your own health or the health of your family this book is more than worth the price. I could not find anything in here to disagree with and there is a broad spectrum of information presented. Thank you Andreas.
My favorite health book.......2007-03-12
I have a bookcase full of health books. This book isn't there however, because I refer to it so often it's always either on my nightstand or coffee table.
Yes some of the information is on the internet but I don't want to go searching a bunch of sites and wondering if it's credible, I just want to find what I need in one place. Uh, isn't that the point of a book?
This has everything you'd ever need to know to take care of your body presented in an easy to understand format. Very comprehensive. I bought a copy for each of my kids because I was tired of them borrowing it to "look up one thing."
Es una maravilla.......2007-01-09
Este es el mejor libro de salud que jamas haya leido, lo recomiendo encarecidamente. No hay duda que ANdreas Moritz es de la elite en cuanto a salud se refiere
My health just keeps getting better and better.......2006-08-27
Greetings to all
I have read many many books on health. Some on how to get to a healthy state and others on how to maintain it once you get there.
Timeless Secrets of Health and Rejuvenation pulls all of the threads/roads, to better health together, in one fantastic book.
It is with great joy and excitement that I share with you my thoughts on this timeless book. I say timeless, because this book has helped me to see that no matter how old I get the facts of how the body is suppose to work do not change. Try as we will, the facts are there and we must change our way of living so we can live the kind of life we all want to enjoy.
Timeless Secrets of Health and Rejuvenation is a must have book for those that want to help themselves and their families.
This book is a very real book with answers to questions that many of you have been asking like "why am I sick"? It helps to unravel the complex mystery of how the body works, so you can understand why it is "not working".
I was so taken by this book, that my husband also begun to read in it. He states: "Timeless Secrets of Health and Rejuvenation combines both the traditional way of thinking with modern and ancient ideas about physical and mental health, and breathes the spirit of love and respect for life ... It inspires one to seek for the real causes behind sickness and health, showing the relation between the matter and the spiritual. It does not only take away your breath sometimes, but also your fear for death. There is no need to 'agree' or 'disagree' with some of the ideas, which in first appearance may be 'strange' for most of us. The core of the message will hit you eventually, on at least one level...."
Timeless Secrets of Health and Rejuvenation is a great gift to give to any one you love, especially yourself.
Yours in good health

The above was written last year and is still true to this day!!!

Book Description
In this life-changing book, Dr. Herbert Benson draws on his twenty-five years as a physician and researcher to reveal how affirming beliefs, particularly belief in a higher power, make an important contribution to our physical health. We are not simply nourished by meditation and prayer, but are, in essence, "wired for God."
Combining the wisdom of modem medicine and of age-old faith. Dr. Benson shows how anyone can, with the aid of a caring physician or healer, use their beliefs and other self-care methods to heal over 60 percent of medical problems.
As practical as it is spiritual, Timeless Healing is a blueprint for healing and transforming your life.

Easy to read, Understand and Put into Practice.......2007-03-20
This is a well-written book that clearly describes the links between our thoughts and our physical health. It is written in an accessible personal style, without the "guru" overtones of works by Deepak Chopra or Wayne Dyer (good writers, just with a different style). Everyone, regardless of their view of God, can benfit from the concepts of Remembered Wellness and the Relaxation Response described in this book. A personal recomendation - couple this book, with its "unproven healing energy", with Greg Bradden's "The Divine Matrix", which describes this energy, and you will be good to go.
Excellent!.......2003-10-08
Through many of the medical observations made by the authors, this book provides some interesting ideas about the connection between the mind and body. Even though we all know that stress (which comes from our minds) influences our health, many of us find it difficult to put the mind and body together in one equation. This book is a great attempt to begin making the bridge between the subjective and objective world. It is full of insightful ideas and inspiring anecdotes. Just excellent overall. If you'd like to read about a sound theoretical framework that explains many of these things, I strongly suggest "The Ever-Transcending Spirit" by Toru Sato. When I read Sato's book, everything clicked so much is was unbelievable!
Faith in God turbo-charges our indwelling healing nature.......2000-11-21
I think what is amazing about this book is that Herbert Benson states without a doubt that faith in God is healthy for us. While our ancestors took it for granted that God healed them, as Dr. Benson explains, we have been taught to see healing purely in technical scientific terms. Dr. Benson explains that when we repudiated the importance of belief in healing we deprived ourselves of a powerful healing force.
Dr. Benson knows that his rational-scientific audience will be skeptical of his arguements. So, he provides us with well-reasoned arguements supported by ample evidence. He explains that we need to relax our over-stressed minds on a regular basis. We need this as an antedote to our hurried lives that stress us out and make us sick. He cites many studies (much from his own research) that daily meditation stimulates the bodies natural healing mechanisms.
Now, the radical finding of Dr. Benson's research is that belief in God makes a difference in healing. If a person meditates regularly using a spiritual phrase they are more likely to heal than those who use a secular word such as "peace". The person's religion doesn't matter. It seems that God is an equal opportunity healer.
The Mind/body connection.......2000-01-30
Dr Benson presents strong evidence for what others have called the "mind / body connection." Mainstream medical science has not yet recognized the importance belief plays in health but, Dr. Benson presents numerous studies that validate the major role belief plays in the healing process and wellness. Practitioners of complimentary therapies will find this book especially helpful in understanding how many non-drug based therapies can work. Well written and thought provoking!

Journey into Healing arranges essential ideas from the work of Deepak Chopra, M.D. to create a transcendent experience for the listener, a journey into healing.
