Living in New Haven brings many advantages and of course concerns as well. But our close location to New York City and to Boston provides access to major events which can be really beneficial. (I am not talking about Red-Sox or Yankee Games) The recent visit of the Pope to world renowned performers and artistic exhibitions remind us that we should not take our position in the universe for granted.
New Haven is the cultural capitol of Connecticut. But, when in those rare moments that the local activities schedule might be little lacking the east coast corridor in spite of traffic and gasoline prices provides quite an allure.
We hear much these days about the crisis of our civilization and these concerns are real. Compellingly so at the opposite end of the spectrum are individual transformational efforts to bring peace on earth by becoming a "better" person.
Deepak Chopra has established a world wide reputation via his books,centers,PBS appearances , products,and Chopra Center retreats as one of the true pioneers in this personal transformation movement. Along with David Simon M.D. the Chopra Center is bringing mind-body healing to New York City this weekend May 23-25.
Renewal Weekend is the ideal starting point for individuals who have wanted to explore holistic healing but have been too busy or harried to even figure out where to begin. Drs. Chopra and Simon – the Chopra Center co-founders – designed Renewal Weekend as a practical introduction to mind-body medicine and Ayurveda – India’s 5,000-year-old healing science.
“The Chopra Center has developed a healing approach that combines the healing arts of the East with the best in modern Western medicine,” said Dr. Chopra. “Renewal Weekend is about helping participants benefit from this approach in their own lives. Those who join the movement in New York will learn daily practices for releasing stress, emotional turmoil, and physical pain.”
At Renewal Weekend, participants will learn essential tools and techniques for translating their good intentions into great choices, including:
• Primordial Sound Meditation
• Mind-body integration and Ayurveda
• The wisdom of natural herbs and your inner pharmacy
• Revitalizing yoga classes (beginning and advanced)
• Holistic techniques for releasing stress and anxiety
• A personal daily routine for calm, renewal, and balance
Renewal Weekend takes place at the Park Central Hotel – just blocks away from Central Park, and only minutes from the Chopra Center & Spa at Dream, one of the few places in the U.S. offering authentic Ayurvedic massage treatments.

Comments
He is in a biofeedback program that aims to alleviate everyday stress called Healing Rhythms.
It uses three biofeedback sensors that attach to your fingertips and connects to your home computer. You practice the interactive exercises while the biofeedback sensors pick up signals from your own body’s physiology to monitor your physical and emotional responses. The changes are fed back in real-time, on the screen in the form of beautiful, transformational images or as graphs that you can save to track your progress.
The Healing Rhythms program promotes health and wellness, and is really effective at helping to keep peace of mind and a personal sense of well-being.
