An Experience with Deepak Chopra

Last week the universe presented me several opportunities to encounter Dr. Deepak Chopra. Mid-week I happened to catch an interview with him on the Today Show. He was just getting started when time was up. Ann Curry commented that simply being in his presence felt relaxing to her. He talked about his newly released book, Life After Death: The Burden of Proof.

On Thursday, I flew to Atlanta to visit a good friend. Friday I found an ad in the newspaper for a lecture by Dr. Chopra the next afternoon at the Unity Church of North Atlanta. We called and made reservations. Later that day, after lunch at Whole Foods, we wandered into Borders Books. I asked if they had copies of Dr. Chopra's newest book. We had just missed him. He had been there autographing it. I bought a copy. By the time of the seminar on Saturday, I had read almost half of it. Obviously it is fascinating and absorbing.

This was not my first experience hearing Dr. Chopra speak. I attended workshops with him in Dallas on two occasions and have also heard him speak here in Oklahoma City. I've read many of his books and listened to his tapes. But this time was different. I found him more available, warmer, a great story teller, and as always, an accomplished teacher.

From stories about his father's death to a memorable encounter with his granddaughter, he was engaging and exciting to hear. He talked about conscious living and conscious dying. He made clear that being conscious and awake is vital to both living and dying well. There are no co-incidences. We are all connected. Life is about birth and death, continuously occuring. Our cells die and replace themselves almost completely every year that we live. Cancer cells are ones that have forgotten how to die.

I took copious notes - something I rarely do these days. On Sunday, I actually typed them - a first for me. There was lots worth saving and remembering along with what Dr. Chopra covers in his new book. I recommend that you read it. What could be more fascinating than this superb guide to understanding the really big questions all of us must face.

VIBE Machine

We have a great new resource available at my office, Options Now, Inc., 11912 N. Pennsylvania, Suite D-3, in Oklahoma City. It is a VIBE Machine, invented by Gene Koonce who lives and works in Greeley, CO. Building upon research done in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Gene developed this machine that lifts the vibrations of the human energy field to an optimal level – its natural state of being. Because we are constantly bombarded by toxic substances that we eat, polluted air that we breathe, and a negative energetic environment that includes all the electronic devices we use, our natural energy vibration rate is lowered. When we hold negative beliefs and fail to adequate process our feelings, our energy vibration rate is depleted also. Aging lowers our energy vibration rate as well. The lower our energy level sinks, the more prone we are to illness.

By sitting in front of the vibe machine for a period of 30 seconds to 4 or 5 minutes, the oscillation rate of the cells of the body is lifted back toward normal, optimal levels. With new energy, the body is empowered to correct what needs to be corrected. It is like recharging a battery that has almost lost its power. The new charge helps the body to function properly again.

Sitting with the vibe machine is painless and pleasant. We suggest that you set an intention for healing and manifesting what you want to create in your life. Focus on your intention as you receive the energy sent out by the machine. It cycles on for 30 seconds, off for 30 seconds, and then on again for the time period you chose for your session. At Options Now, we use muscle testing to determine how long each person should sit with the machine at each session. During the off cycles, you should drink water to help the body flush out toxins that are released. The water you bring into the room with the vibe machine is also energized and holds it charge for six to eight hours. It is important to continue drinking this water after the vibe machine session is over.

I am noticing interesting and exciting changes in my clients who use the machine consistently. With new energy available to them, they are moving ahead and doing what they need to do to make their lives work better. They report that they feel better, have more energy, less physical pain, and a much more optimistic attitude about life. I’ve certainly found these results for myself.

Gene Koonce, the vibe machine’s inventor, will be our guest on Graceful Living on Sunday, October 29 from 4-5 PM. He’ll be available to take calls and answer your questions as well as to tell you about the very interesting experiences users of the vibe machine have had in enhancing their well-being. You can hear the program live in Oklahoma City by tuning into KTOK AM 1000 or on the Internet by going to www.ktok.com and clicking on Listen Live during the 4-5 PM Central time period. A week after the program airs, you can hear a recording of it without commercials by going to Graceful Living Radio and clicking on the audio button.

If you want to experience the vibe machine at Options Now, it is available for new users from 9-4 Monday through Friday and on Saturday from 10 – 1. Cost is $5.00 per session. We have water available for $1.00 per bottle or you can bring your own.
