From the book Reinventing the Body, Resurrecting the Soul by Deepak Chopra, we learn that the body is the place where the invisible and the visible show up. The key to transformation is to create the change we want to see in ourselves.
"There is no reason to deprive our body of love, beauty, creativity, and inspiration. We are intended to experience ecstasy just as much as any saint. And when we do, our cells rejoice in it."
Effective, lasting change is only made from a state of joy and relaxation.
