The Chopra Center serves as headquarters of alternative medicine gurus Deepak Chopra and David Simon. It houses a multitude of classes, daily meditation and yoga, seminars, workshops and treatments based on the principles of Ayurveda, an ancient healing system of India. The Center combines mind and body techniques with natural spa treatments, including Oshadi, a herbal wrap to eliminate toxins; Pizichilli, a rhythmic therapy massage to enhance circulation; and Abhyanga, a two-therapist massage to enhance the immune system.
I sat down with Davidji, aka David Greenspan, for a chat at the Chopra Center at La Costa in Carlsbad about the center, how he came to teach there, and the mind/body connection. Throughout our conversation a variety of people walked by and all of them had to stop to chat with David. He greeted each person with a huge hug and every friend thanked him before leaving. I also felt better after I talked with him than before our conversation, which I think is part of the reason he is one of the main reasons to visit the center. He gave me a CD of his meditations and after a week I’ve reduced a good deal of stress following the CD.
