A wonderful alternative to the avalanche of fad diets flooding the market, WEIGHT LOSS: THE COMPLETE MIND/BODY SOLUTION is a course designed to put the listener in touch with his or her body's needs. Deepak Chopra M.D., a leading authority in intelligence-based health care, bases his instruction on Ayurveda (which translates as "science of life") from India's Vedic tradition, the oldest system of natural medicine in the world. WEIGHT LOSS does not promote dieting in the conventional sense of the term, but instead advocates attention to one's natural biological needs, and the practices of moderation, balance, and enjoyment.
A comprehensive 4-disc set, with an accompanying 40-page instruction booklet, WEIGHT LOSS features lectures by Chopra that cover basic Vedic principles of body/mind knowledge, while applying these directly to a daily practice of eating and awareness. As philosophically intriguing as it is practically useful, WEIGHT LOSS privileges natural, intuitive habits in a positive way that make the course a welcome diversion from self-torturing weight loss regimens. Chopra has also issued recorded lectures addressing Chronic Fatigue and Insomnia in a similar fashion. These recordings are highly recommended for those seeking sensible alternatives to treating common health issues.
