“Now that you know that along with the physical body there is also a “quantum” body, many things that used to seem mysterious appear in a new light. Here are two amazing facts from the practice of cardiovascular medicine.
Fact 1: There are more heart attacks on Mondays at 9 am than at any other hour of the week.
Fact 2: The people who get the most job satisfaction are the least likely to have fatal heart attacks.
Putting these two facts together, you begin to suspect that there is an element of choice here. While heart attacks are thought to start at random times, at least some of them seem to be under human control.
Many people who hate their jobs lose that control on Monday mornings, and those who love their jobs don't. (Let's put aside the question of why people who hate their jobs don't find another, less tragic outlet for their dissatisfaction.) Conventional medicine knows of no mental mechanism that can cause a heart attack. According to Ayurveda, the heart is the imprint of all impulses of consciousness, including disappointments, fears and dissatisfaction. At the quantum level, mind and body are one, so it's not surprising that deep, oppressive dissatisfaction expresses itself in the form of a heart attack. Indeed, any dissatisfaction should be reflected in our physical form because all our thoughts are converted into chemicals. When you are happy, chemicals from the brain enter the body, sending a signal of happiness to every cell.
Having received such a signal, the cells also "become happy", that is, they begin to function more efficiently due to a change in the chemical processes occurring in them. If you are upset, the opposite happens. Your sadness is chemically transmitted to every cell, and this, in turn, can cause pain in the cells of the heart: this also weakens the immune system. All our thoughts and actions originate inside the "quantum" body, and then come true. You may have heard about experiments when a person under hypnosis raises the temperature of the hands, causes the appearance of... All this and more in the book Perfect Health (Deepak Chopra)

Why can't the universe exist without God?

My answer to militant atheism, pseudoscience and the delusions of Richard Dawkins.

Does God exist? Do you agree with Richard Dawkins who says that God is just an illusion? And maybe it's time to forget about God? After all, the concept of God is contrary to common sense, the discoveries of modern science in the field of biology, evolution, physics, astronomy...

No! It is today, against the backdrop of the achievements of science, when humanity is gaining more and more knowledge about the microworld, exploring deep space, performing operations on genes, the concepts of "faith", "God" are more relevant than ever. The world is much more complex than in Dawkins' sterile picture. And in this world there is a place for God!

Inexhaustible energy

A comprehensive program of psychophysiological regulation of the body to overcome chronic fatigue

1. Fatigue, energy and the quantum mechanical body

Fatigue is defined as a lack of physical, mental, and emotional energy, and chronic fatigue is its prolonged absence. However, living in modern Western society, you hardly need to define fatigue. Most likely, you are already quite familiar with this problem. And, it is likely that at the moment you are experiencing chronic fatigue.

Despite the fact that fatigue is widespread in modern life, from the point of view of nature as a whole, it is a true phenomenon. First of all, because nature abounds in energy and creative activity. Birds wake up early in the morning, they sing, tirelessly build nests, get food for their chicks; squirrels scurry up and down the trees, jumping from branch to branch; and when spring comes, it seems as if the grass and flowers are about to break out of the ground and reach up in abundance, full of vitality.

This amazing energy is present not only in the biological world, but throughout the physical universe. Waves crash on the shore; rivers rush to the seas with incredible force; the wind roars, sweeping away everything in its path; the Earth rotates around its axis and the Sun with amazing speed; and the Sun itself constantly gives an unimaginable amount of heat and light. Physicists say that the Universe is nothing but a dynamic, pulsating pope of innumerable energy.

Strange, isn't it? With such a huge amount of energy, how can anyone feel tired? Why do millions of people experience fatigue every day? Why do many of them stay in a state of fatigue for most of their lives?

The contradiction between the prevalence of chronic fatigue in our society and the abundance of energy in nature is a sad paradox. But this same contradiction may give us the key to a real solution to the problem of chronic fatigue. In this book, you will learn many techniques that will allow you to reconnect with nature and, in particular, learn how to open the natural sources of energy that are already within you.

But before exploring ways to eliminate fatigue, let's take a closer look at the problem and try to get some idea of ​​its magnitude.

Fatigue is one of the most common complaints people go to the doctor for. Recently, the "Journal of the American Medical Association" published data that 24% of patients randomly interviewed in one of the clinics complained of chronic fatigue. Among women, the rate was higher - 28% of those who said they were tired, compared with 1% for men. But at the same time, cases of fatigue were noted in almost every fifth man.

There is no doubt that the feeling of fatigue is constantly present in the lives of millions of Americans. But since complaints of fatigue are among the most vague, doctors find it difficult to assess this phenomenon and only occasionally manage to identify its actual cause. Of course, this does not mean that if you experience constant, deep fatigue that lasts for several weeks, you should not undergo a medical examination. On the contrary, in your case, the cause may be obvious and easily eliminated. Your fatigue may be due to anemia, thyroid problems, hepatitis, diabetes, mononucleosis, kidney disease, and other chronic conditions. I recommend a physical examination to rule out these possible reasons. But at the same time, I would like to emphasize that the vast majority of those who complain of chronic fatigue fail to identify any specific physical causes that give rise to it. And this is perhaps the single most important conclusion of all that o has been made as a result of numerous studies of this problem.

In this book, chronic fatigue refers to a marked lack of energy that lasts for one month or more. This type of fatigue is completely different from acute fatigue, which is usually caused by certain situations, such as memorizing material before exams or hastily acting to meet deadlines. Over time and after additional rest, acute fatigue usually disappears. Those who suffer from chronic fatigue continue to feel tired no matter how long they rest. These people feel tired right after waking up in the morning - even more tired after getting out of bed. To solve the problem of chronic fatigue, sleep alone is obviously not enough.

Thus, we can define chronic fatigue as fatigue that a person experiences every day or almost every day for at least one month and which is not cured by sleep or rest.

Mind-Body Alignment and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Despite the fact that cases of chronic fatigue are quite common among the population, many people seem to underestimate the extent to which this phenomenon affects the normal course of the life process. Research shows that chronic fatigue can be just as detrimental to health as serious medical conditions, such as an unresolved thyroid disorder or a recent heart attack. This fact is all the more remarkable since the vast majority of chronic fatigue sufferers do not have any clear cause for this problem.

In the absence of a cause, it becomes obvious that chronic fatigue occurs most often under the influence of emotional and psychological factors. Thus, in the course of one psychological test, it was found that 80% of those suffering from chronic fatigue had a higher level of depression or anxiety than "normal" people. This brings up a very important point about the connection between mind and body - a thought that will become the central theme of this book. Your mind and emotions can be either the main sources of energy or the main wasters of it, and the choice here is entirely up to you. We will explore this concept in detail below.

Before proceeding further, it is important to mention the category of people suffering from a particularly severe form of fatigue called chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Clinically, CFS was isolated as a separate disease in the mid-1980s. Although there is currently no consensus among health professionals as to the causes of this problem, there is evidence that a viral infection or damage to the immune system can be provoking factors.

According to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, between 100,000 and 250,000 adults in the country suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome. These people experience such severe and constant fatigue that for at least 6 months their normal daily activity is reduced by at least 50% and this condition is accompanied by special physiological symptoms that distinguish CFS from simple lack of energy. Patients with CFS often sleep 12 or more hours a night and yet have difficulty performing normal daily tasks due to extreme fatigue. People with the usual kind of chronic fatigue are usually able, although not without effort, to cope with their daily duties. CFS also makes people practically incapacitated. In addition, CFS is usually accompanied by physical symptoms such as mild fever, recurrent sore throat, painful lymph nodes, muscle pain or weakness, joint pain, and headaches. At the same time, sleep does not seem refreshing, and besides, a person may lose the ability to concentrate and be disturbed by short-term memory.

If you have symptoms suggestive of chronic fatigue syndrome, you should see your doctor for a medical evaluation.

The true sources of chronic fatigue

We have already found out that chronic fatigue is a very common problem. It can manifest itself in a moderate form and interfere with a normal full-fledged life, or it can take the form of CFS and then have truly catastrophic consequences. However, the solution to this problem is always the same: more power.

The remedy for chronic fatigue and at the same time the basis for achieving a more complete sense of life is the ability to "release" that boundless natural energy field that constantly surrounds us. Einstein discovered that every atom in the universe contains great amount energy, and modern physicists continue to demonstrate that everything that exists in the universe comes into being as a result of vibrations occurring in a single field of energy and intelligence, which is the fundamental force of nature. In other words, at the heart of everything that exists is a single source of energy; and it is from this source that all the phenomena of the universe are born. We, human beings, are just local places where the energy and intelligence of the field of the Universe is concentrated. The same intellect and the same energy that govern the entire universe flow through our bodies. We and everything around us are an integral part of nature.

All this will become clear when we consider the structure of the atoms that make up the human body. Quantum physics has shown that atoms are not solid, indivisible particles. They are made up of smaller particles of subatomic matter - protons, neutrons and electrons - that revolve around each other at the speed of light. Within an atom, the distances between these subatomic particles are proportional in magnitude to the distances between stars and galaxies. This means that, in proportion to its size, the human body is comparable to the emptiness of intergalactic space.

From the point of view of physics, even these subatomic particles are rather not solid, material objects, but vibrations of energy that have taken on a material form. Einstein said that matter is actually nothing but energy hidden under another shell. And the great physicists of the 1920s and 1930s confirmed the fact that every physical particle is ultimately a form of energy vibration called...
