Breakfast with Deepak Chopra at Ahalife

I never imagined in my life that I would be sitting face to face with the mind-body healing pioneer Deepak Chopra while he explained the importance of mediation and the science behind laws of attraction. Well, it happened.

Thanks to Ahalife - a fab site where you can score exclusive goods from around the world – me and 10 other writers had the privilege of doing just that, as we munched on some croissants and sipped our morning coffee of course.

Last Thursday, Mr. Chopra explained how balancing our emotions and developing intuition by listening to signals from our bodies can improve our health.  He also talked about how important it is to ‘shut off our brains’ and slow down which in return can reverse the aging of the mind.  Through his methods, we can increase our lifespan up to the age of 120 years specifically by getting lots of rest, mediation, exercise and the act of ‘loving’.

Besides for the fact that Mr. Chopra is extremely intelligent and knowledgable, I found him to be so sweet, adorable and funny.  He really captures you with his personality.  As a bonus, we all walked away with a Law of Attraction Button (exclusively at Ahalife) which cleverly doubles as an MP3 player.  On this button, Mr. Chopra recorded a half hour guided meditation teaching the philosophy behind the Laws of Attraction and how to utilize these fundamentals to achieve harmony with the universe.  For someone like me, this is a great way to enter into the world of meditation.

But I am not finished yet – not only did I meet Deepak Chopra, I also had the pleasure of meeting designer extraordinaire Rachel Roy who curated the button for the site (Ahalife has each one of their products curated by a tastemaker).  The Dutch/Indian beauty and I chatted about fashion and our experiences in NYC.  It was quite incredible getting to know her on a whole new level.  Plus I am quite smitten with the Tropical Wool Slim Pant  from her collection.  I know – ridiculous!

What an experience – I felt refreshed, energized and excited to take on the day.  The best part, now I have my own little personal meditation session with Deepak Chopra every morning on a button attached to my jacket.  Thank you Ahalife.  Bisous NYS
