Deepak Chopra is among the most renowned authorities on mind-body healing. A licensed medical doctor, Chopra co-founded his own Center for Well Being, a place where good health and spirituality meet. In his ground breaking book, Chopra has developed a recipe for a happy life: The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success. There, Chopra overviews his laws to success, suggesting that everything in nature happens according to these laws.

1. The Law of Pure Potentiality

Each person is made of energy, with each of us part of one another. As energy, we are simply consciousness, and are capable of becoming anything. Natural energy binds us together: so start practicing your lightsaber, because the force is within you. This is this primary law upon which the other laws are built.

2. The Law Of Giving

The law of giving is really, according to Dr. Chopra, about giving and receiving. The idea here is that the pure energy inherent to the world must be kept flowing, so as not to become stagnant. While that is not to say that you have to give your brother the shirt off your back, just passing along flu germs is not enough either. Just be sure you always have something to give - a helping hand, a happy smile, a shoulder to cry on.

3. The Law Of Karma

Karma is an age-old idea that basically, what goes around comes around. With karma, when you put positive energy out into the world, then positive energy returns to you. So the next time you are so self-involved that you cut someone off in traffic, be afraid, be very afraid. Because sometimes what you send out to the world, can come back to you stronger, and it might not be your car that gets cut off.

4. The Law Of Least Effort

Always choose the path of least resistance, when you can do so in a positive way. If you are in the grocery store line, and every line you choose seems to be the longest, it takes more energy to repeatedly change lines, to grumble about the delay, and to be unhappy, than to simply wait patiently. Now, this does not mean you should sit in your recliner all day, watching Jerry Springer and scarfing down Pringles. Rather, it is about knowing that through letting life happen without complaint and negativity requires the least effort.

5. The Law Of Intention And Desire

If your energy is made up of positive intentions and a strong desire for something, then you send that thought, in the form of energy, into the universe; the universe, in turn, will provide. This idea is similar to The Secret, which talks about the Law of Attraction. Now, that does not mean that simply wishing for a new motorcycle will make a Harley appear in your driveway, but it does mean that by focusing your intentions in a positive way, you can have everything that you desire.

6. The Law Of Detachment

We are energy, and that energy should be made of good intentions. But to focus too strongly on any one desire actually becomes negative. For example, if you wish too hard for an “A” on your chemistry exam, you may end up worrying that you won’t do well, and fearing failure. These negative emotions can impact your performance, and you will fail. You can wish for something, without being ruled by it. Of course, if you spend all your time obsessing over the girl at the corner market, even following her home from work, you probably need more than to detach, you need to seek help. Now.

7. The Law Of Dharma

“Dharma” is Sanskrit for “purpose in life” - we are all here for a purpose. We all have our own special talent, and a certain role to play in our world. Discover your true self, your purpose, and how to apply that purpose to help mankind. Even if your purpose in life is to become a great surfer, that’s fine. Go with it, and find a way to use surfing to the benefit of others, perhaps teaching children to surf, or just looking really good riding the waves.

These laws are guidelines to live by. If you focus your energy on being positive, visualizing what you want out of life, working towards it in positive ways, that add to the world - if you regularly apply these 7 laws to your life - then you can achieve all that is important to you. Visualize yourself happy, in love, and wealthy. Of course, just visualizing yourself with the body of a god or goddess isn’t going to take those love handles away, but if you employ these strategies, you can make steady progress on developing the body that you want to have, and the life you want to live.
