Loading ...Sages & Scientists: Breaking All the Rules
As I drove to The La Costa Resort and Spa, for the 1st Annual Sages and Scientists 2010 Symposium, I couldn’t help but think about what I was going to experience; three days with Deepak Chopra and a panel of the world’s most brilliant minds.
Day 1
After I dropped off my car at the valet, I curiously walked into the Gardenia Room where the registration for the event took place. I signed in and gathered my identification badge and made my way into the Poinsettia Ballroom. The room could easily fit 1,000 people.
The round tables were arranged banquet style with table coverings. The stage was towards the south side of the room while the sound and technical equipment were at the north side.
The anticipation of the evening was building and the splendid saxophonist playing jazz ballads kindled the right mood for the night. The room slowly began to fill and the lights were dim.
“Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats we are about to begin,” a voice said over the loudspeakers. A sound rivaling thunder exploded into the room; The Rancho Bernardo High School Band marched to the stage playing a Big Band classic that skyrocketed the energy in the room. The music was so intense and powerful that I wanted to jump out of my seat and dance my heart out. Everyone was bopping their heads and tapping their toes. When the music subsided, Deepak Chopra took the stage and set the tone for the remainder of the symposium. Read more
Deepak Chopra’s 7 Spiritual Laws of Success
One of the greatest things about beginning a new year is the opportunity for a fresh start. 2010 can become one of the best years of your life if you are open and receptive to all things that are positive. Finding a spiritual path is the first step to true freedom and finding success.

One of my favorite spiritual teachers is Deepak Chopra, MD. He is the founder of the Chopra Center in Carlsbad. He has written many books including: The Path to Love, Perfect Health and The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success. Chopra has given many TV interviews on PBS and Larry King Live. Deepak Chopra is known for his ability to translate the ancient life science called Ayurveda, “the knowledge of life,” (www.chopra.com/ayurveda) to the modern language our society understands. He uses supportive evidence from western medicine to supplement his explanations of spiritual life. Chopra’s spiritual teachings are very practical and address many of the issues that people face in western society.
The past few years, especially 2009, were very difficult for people in America as well as the rest of the world. It is now time for each person to take responsibility and claim the health, happiness, peace and success that is their spiritual right. Deepak Chopra has taught that success can be actualized through the spiritual path by instilling The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success. I have applied these laws in my own life and have seen the miraculous unfolding of spiritual success. Read more
VEMMA Helping Now Project – San Diego
BK Boreyko, founder of Vemma, is teaming up with Father Joe’s Villages in San Diego and Charger Shawne Merriman to make a difference in the lives of kids in need. How? With a brand new, nutritious drink called Vemma Next, designed specially for children.
BK Boreyko began “The Vemma Next Helping Now Project” by developing a product for his own children, with the help of several specialists in the health care arena. He then met with Shawne Merriman, who knew that Father Joe’s Villages was the best place to reach out to San Diego kids in need. Father Joe’s Villages houses 900 families and serves more than 3,000 meals each day. Their mission is to stabilize families, give the kids an education, and help break the cycle of poverty.
Every time a month’s supply of Vemma Next is purchased, a month’s supply is given to a child in need. The Vemma Next partners want to share their wholesome product with those who can’t afford it, giving those children who struggle for daily meals a chance to grow up healthy.

Love Nutri-Grain Bars because they are the “healthy” snack choice?
Well, it turns out Nutri-Grain bars may not be a good decision for your health after all. In a lawsuit filed in San Diego county yesterday, individuals are suing Kellogg for falsely advertising their product. Nutri-Grain Bars, which advertise to be healthy, actually contain potentially dangerous, unhealthy trans fat.
Many Americans are trying to “Eat Better All Day” by purchasing Nutri-Grain Bars. The bars contain whole grains, which Kellogg claims reduce hunger cravings and improve blood sugar control. However, as was revealed in the San Diego Courthouse, the bar—that claims to contain ingredients that reduce the risk of heart disease–also contains artificial trans fat, which studies show can actually contribute to heart disease, cancer and diabetes.

Reality is a state of mind. Thoughts and beliefs manifest themselves into reality. Some say that thoughts themselves have energy and are powerful forces that can be used for creation or destruction.
When a person concentrates on something profusely, they can create a self fulfilling prophecy. If power in thought is true, then that means that individuals are at the helm of their destinies. If a person thinks negative thoughts, driven by fear, they will influence negative situations in their life. Conversely, if one keeps their mind focused on positive and loving mental images, they can bring abundance, joy and happiness into their lives. Read more
