  Pastor’s Wife

  Category:  Consciousness , Happiness , Relationships , Spirituality , Ask Deepak , Blog Talk Radio

  I'm a young South African woman who married at the age of 19 to a pastor who founded and is heading a Christian church. Over the last few years certain events have happened in my marriage that made me realize that I do not want to remain married to my husband and I do not see a future for myself as a leader in the traditional Christian church, but somehow my family and the elders around me are discouraging me from leaving my husband regardless of the fact that he has had a continuous extra marital affair, has anger problems which consists of a huge temper and pathological lying. Their message to me is that is how marriages are I just have to be a strong wife and hold on to my husband regardless because our marriage is ordained by God and therefore if I come out of it I will be diverting from the will of God. I’ve heard of a principle that you marry no one but yourself and I believe that if my husband is really a manifestation of the state of my consciousness then I have the right to step back even from my marriage and deal with those things within myself.
   I'm afraid to make a mistake and throw away what the people in my society see as important (marriage) and yet I have a yearning to live an authentic life being true to what I feel in my heart is right...., my husband is a good person and like everyone he has his weaknesses and mistakes but I feel I cannot live with him and I believe somehow my need to take a different direction in life might have brought forth every situation that has happened in our marriage thus far... What do I do?

  • You absolutely have the right to step back from marriage to deal with those things within yourself. It sounds as if you are surrounded by people who care for only their own agendas rather than your well being. Don`t listen to anybody who tells you that your marriage is ordained. It is not. Trust what your feelings tell you. Beware of those closed-minded people who try to influence your decisions. They are trying to control you and are using their religion to back them. God is going to speak to you from inside your soul, not from the mouths of fools.

  Headaches and Bad Moods After Meditation

  Category:  Consciousness , Meditation , Spirituality , Ask Deepak

  Question:
  
  I've been questioning God’s existence for a long time, then I heard your audiobook "How to Know God" and "Seven Spiritual Laws of Success" I'm strongly convinced about being our own source of power, I've been practicing silence and not judging, it's amazing!! However, sometimes after my silence practice, I feel really bad, headaches, dizziness and at some point the last two days I've felt even in horrible humour. There isn't any reason, during my meditation everything is going ok. My life is different, I look at people and feel an amazing love and tenderness. I'm asking this because I just can't find an explanation to this physical badness and bad humour episodes. What can I do? Thanks very much for your advice!!

  • @rosacevres I am an alternative medicine practicioner from India. For Rheumatoid Arthritis, I can suggest you to do MUDRAS & PRANAYAMA. By doing them the symptoms will reduce if not vanish. May I remind you to take the necessary precautions outlned in my book, "Alternative healing -the Indian way".

  Alzheimer’s Disease: How to Face Fear With Knowledge (Part 1)

  Category:  Consciousness , Health , Spirituality , Science

  By Deepak Chopra, MD, FACP and Rudolph Tanzi, Ph.D.,
  The Joseph P and Rose F. Kennedy, Professor of Neurology, Harvard Medical School, Director of Genetics and Aging, Massachusetts General Hospital

  
  Few people feel comfortable thinking about the aging process, but discomfort turns to fear when it comes to the brain. Medically, everyone’s brain slows down in some way as they age. This doesn’t have to be a source of fear – to be older is often to be calmer, wiser, more at peace. Those desirable states are mental. The brain is secondary. But the brain is primary when it comes to disease, and the most feared disease is Alzheimer’s.

  • It is so wonderful to see the facts laid out as beautifully as they are here. My mother began exhibiting signs of early-onset Alzheimer`s disease 10 years ago and is still living in the advanced stage of the disease that you described so vividly. I wrote a book of poetry called "Searching For Cecy: Reflections on Alzheimer`s" that will be released November 25th about Mom`s journey into Alzheimer`s and my own struggle to find peace. I wrote the poems over an eight year period in order to make sense out of a situation that seemed so out of control and frightening. Watching Mom today brings me a sense of peace. I have no idea what her journey is about here on earth and why she has had to suffer in this way, but there have been moments of great beauty and wisdom that I have had the privilege of witnessing in her interactions with others. She is extraordinary and brave and I am so very proud to be her daughter. Thanks for bringing awareness to a challenge that so many families are facing today.

  • I fear this for my husband and I more than any other disease.
