Anti-Aging

Thank you for this information. I am in the TV makeup business and am very interested in the subject. I will look inton this book.
I know many people who feel and look much younger than their actual chronologic age.

Sincerely, Irma

Thank you for suggesting this book.
I am also interested in purchasing it.

Sincerely,
Vicky

Me too.
I am going to get the book as well.

I have used this book since it was published.
I personally have found it very useful.
I highly recommend it.

This is a very interesting topic. I do believe that the mind has a tremendous effect on our ability to stay healthy and youthful.
I will give you an example that involves my immediate family.

My parents divorced when I was very young, five years old to be exact.
A few years later my mother married a man 20 years younger than herself. My grandmother was violently opposed to the marriage.
Now 35 years later ,my mother who is almost 70 looks at least 20 years younger, in fact she and her husband are very well matched. My mother is a doctor and works full time, and intends to keep doing so.
Being constantly in touch with people younger than herself has kept her mind and thought active, and I guess she feels psrt of that group.
She and her husband have a wonderful and very loving relationship until this day. I actually envy them.They live in great harmony, even though each parner allows the other total freedom.
My stepfather was my mother's patient and my mother is the one who encouraged her husband to abandon some of his harmful lifestyles and to resume his higher education, where he now holds a very respected position in life.
I know my mother has used a prescription Retin A cream for years. The other products I will not mention because it may not be legal to advertise certain products. She does exercise and meditate daily. But most important she is not aware or bothered by her chronologic age.I don't think that she even thinks about it.
As a matter of fact, we still pass as sisters, and actually I look good for my age as well, or so I have been told.
She has Deepak Chopra's book as well.

I apologize for the speling mistakes in my previous reply, but I don't see how to correct them.

Anita

I just noticed this topic. What you say Anita is very interesting. I believe that the mind can do a lot. I have seen similar situations myself and I truly believe that our mind has ,to a certain degree, an influence on our aging and general health.

This is interesting. As she aged my Mother
always told everyone (re. age) that she was
Mature Eternal Youth (thats a wise, lovely
thirty-five year old) She lived into her 90's.
as a very positive, happy person.

I believe the same and have been told my body
is much younger (by Doc)-- hey, I look good too!


A cheerful heart restoreth the soul...

Thank you everyone
for your input.

This is getting to be a very interesting topic.
I am just reading Dr. Deepak Chopra's book
"Creating Health."
I will post a paragraph from this book here:

...Then health, illness, life and death are not absolutes, they are bound up in us and come from us. Our way of looking at ourselves makes us what we are. If we could only change our way of looking, we could in fact change all notions and therefore all realities of living, aging, mortality, and ultimately immortality--for it is our notions that construct those realities. This conclusion dawns upon us once we grasp the idea that our thoughts and our way of seeing indeed structure the entire material universe...

This is more to think about now, but it is basically what we all have said.

Inda

True
It is really simple, but
not so easy to change one's
thoughts and keep them changed.
That's where watching and waiting
at the portals of our minds and
not allowing in anything
unworthy to be in the temple
of God/Good. It is work, but
should be a happy occupation.
Bless...

Thank you Barbara.

I am going to quote a little more from Dr. Deepak Chopra's book 'Creating Health.'

...So long as we think that mind and body are separate entities, then using a thought to change the body seems impossible. But once we see that consciousness is simply working through various aspects of itself to reach other aspects of itself, then everything becomes clear. The source of creativity is within ourselves and nowhere else. It can change reality because intelligence, our intelligence, makes reality out of itself.

Thank you, Inda
This makes me the cause of all I experience
both this moment now and through-out all
eternity. Being mySelf - I am "I".

Deepak Chopra writes with such sincerity and
simplicity. Certainly a way-shower.
Many Blessings be...

YE ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD!

Thank you Barbara.

I also want to recommend Dr. Chopra's book
'Ageless Body, Timeless Mind.'
Dr. Copra explains how we can use the power of awareness to create good health and longevity.

Love, Inda

I enjoyed the old Deepak Chopra books, and still read them once in a while. There is a lot of wisdom to be found in his older books.

Love,
Vicky

I agree, Deepak Chopra's older books had a lot of wisdom. I also have some of them and read them again once in a while. They contain some very valuable information.

Love,
yoko

Thank you for bringing back this post. It is a long time since Deepak Chopra published his first books, but I agree with you, I enjoy his older books. I am not too fond of the later books, they seem a bit repetitious and not as inspiring as the many early books.

sincerely,

Anti aging products are available in the markets but we cannot trust them and buy as soon as we see them. So it is better to consider a skin expert and take their advice.

Thank you and welcome rachelphilr,
this is good advice. One should possibly see a dermatologist before wasting money on all sorts of useless products.
