Deepak Chopra: Don`t ignore Occupy Wall Street.
When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.

From Occupy Wall Street to America’s healthcare debate, author, physician, and spiritual guru Deepak Chopra gives free rein to his consciousness.
It was the first all vegetarian menu to be served at a speaker’s luncheon in the century-old National Press Club.

A simple meal for a simple message: spirituality is expanded awareness, the place where solutions to all problems are found.
Sixty-five year-old Chopra, who comes across as contemporary, unpretentious, and patient, arrived in Washington fresh from a taping with Oprah, with whom he has a self-described “soul connection”. Sporting a black Nehru jacket and maroon patent leather clogs, the guru’s rhinestone-studded eyeglasses was the only hint at his celebrity status.
Before his luncheon speech, Chopra talked to the Daily Telegraph about whether Westerners were finally getting the consciousness concept. Although he has written over 60 self-help books, he noted that his intention in writing Spiritual Solutions was to emphasize the true nature of spirituality.
