We need Nature to free up our nature. We are surrounded by the best of all healing influences–fresh air, sunlight, and beauty. In India, the Hippocrates of Ayurveda, a great physician and sage named Charaka, prescribed some sunlight for all diseases, along with a walk in the early morning, and his advice will never grow stale.

If I find a green meadow splashed with daisies and sit down beside a clear-running brook, I have found medicine. It soothes my hurts as well as when I sat in my mother’s lap in infancy, because the Earth really is my mother, and the green meadow is her lap. You and I are strangers, but the internal rhythm of our bodies listens to the same ocean tides that cradled us in a time beyond memory.

Nature is man’s healer, because Nature is man. When Ayurveda says that the sun is our right eye and the moon our left eye, we mustn’t sneer. By bathing us in the moon, the sun, and the sea, Nature fashioned the bodies we inhabit. These were the ingredients that provided us each with our piece of Nature–a shelter, life-support system, intimate companion, and home for seven decades or more.

The discovery of the quantum realm opened a way to follow the influence of the sun, moon, and sea down deeper into ourselves. I am taking you there only in the hope that there is even more healing to be found there. We already know that a human fetus develops by remembering and imitation the shapes of fish, amphibians, and early mammals. Quantum discoveries enable us to go into our very atoms and remember the early universe itself.

Quantum mechanics has always fascinated me, particularly as it has helped me to better understand the world and how I perceive it. In fact, I came up with a trick to put someone in the right frame of mind. In my mind, I visualize two atoms on the tip of each index finger and stretch out my arms so that the two atoms are as far as they can get. Then I fold my arms and touch one index finger to the other; in essence, shortening the distance between the atoms. It's a very simple trick, but it inspires a great deal of thought.

Thank you Dearest Sir. I think more and more about Quantum. I don't have the math to understand the physics of it but at every turn of the mind it seems to be there, presenting the... mechanics of causation. My favorite study material has long been the Seth books presented by Jane Roberts because they give me the clearest picture of exactly how mind manifests physical results and experience has shown me the "proof of the puding"Every thing that I pick up about "quantum" is saying the same thing in the very same words. These are very exciting times of quantum change to be participating in here. Affectionately and with gratitude, Uma

I am doing so much better this week, last week for me was very depressing, I had some family issues that are very hard for me to understand or deal with.
As this often happens in a recent family loss, I am more focused this week and, am finding a path to the earth Mother. I Like this insight as I had lost my Mom at the tiny age of 9 from bone cancer and to again see this thought that again I do still have her along with many other passed family still with me it really helps as recent death trauma was just so intense.
I Thank You Deepak as this insight helps me so much along too with the Dear friends I have met through this site.
Thank You very much my friend, Brenda

Thank you Mr. Chopra. I once wrote a poem: In the Lap of the Great Mother.
