Above, watch family medicine and psychiatry Professor Paul Mills and co-founder of JIYO, a social wellbeing platform, Poonacha Machaiah on \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Future of Wellbeing\u00e2\u20ac\u009d panel, moderated by Gina Murdock, with Deepak Chopra at the 2015 Aspen Ideas Festival in Aspen, Colorado. <\/em><\/p>\n During the Spotlight Health event in Aspen, CO, Deepak Chopra discussed practical ways to experience higher consciousness, transformation, and healing, as well as new social paradigms for interacting with communities. <\/p>\n The holistic health guru spoke to the audience about the Five Pillars of Wellbeing, which include sleep, stress management, movement, emotions, and nutrition. He also added, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s also social wellbeing, community wellbeing, career wellbeing, financial wellbeing, and spiritual wellbeing; and they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re all inseparably linked to each other.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Different states of wellbeing correspond with, and affect, many facets of a person\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s health and prosperity. <\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We know now from research that if you pay attention to those five things\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 you can actually correlate that with the future of a person, a community, a city, a country, and in fact the world. Your wellbeing correlates with things such as traffic accidents, hospital admissions, crime rate, social unrest, quality of leadership.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d All facets of life are directly linked in calculating a person\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s wellbeing. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153So the healthier you are, the healthier communities and societies will be, and that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the only way we can ultimately create a more peaceful, just, sustainable, healthier, and happier world,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Chopra. <\/p>\n When reflecting on the current healthcare system, Chopra stated, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have a healthcare system, we have a disease care system.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Instead Chopra wishes to democratize wellbeing by making it easily available and free of charge. He detailed a plan that he and others want to implement to create a way for anyone to obtain complete health. <\/p>\n The method involves free personalized delivery of information through the use of innovative technology and social networking. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Give people the tools; give them not only information but give them information that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s relevant to them. Personalize the content you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re going to deliver through the internet, through the iPhones, through a social network to give them as much information that is relevant to them free of charge. Engage them in reward mechanisms. Connect them with other people who have the same goals so create a social network\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 help them socially engage to encourage each other.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d <\/p>\n Chopra also highlighted the current morality rate. Today, people are not dying from old age. Most people die from some form of an ailment such as heart disease, cancer, or from a stroke. But a person\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s lifespan can increase by 20 to 30 years through research and efforts to improve health and wellbeing. Chopra said that this would further contribute to the culture of society by enabling people to learn from the elders of society. <\/p>\n The use of technology and innovation can positively impact one\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s wellbeing, but Chopra said that it is ultimately man\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s decision if he will use technology to help life or hinder it. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Technology is unstoppable\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 We can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t stop the train of technology; it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s part of our evolution as the human species\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Secondly technology is your servant; not your master. Technology is neutral. You decide what you do with technology\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Technology is diabolical if you want to make it [so], but technology can also be healing. You are in charge, not technology.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d <\/p>\n Through personalization, socialization, and innovation, there is a hope that people\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s overall wellbeing can improve. But it is necessary that each person exercise caution and good judgment and pursue wellbeing actively and mindfully. <\/p>\n Katherine Grygo is a contributing writer to the Aspen Idea Blog at the Aspen Institute.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Above, watch family medicine and psychiatry Professor Paul Mills and co-founder of JIYO, a social wellbeing platform, Poonacha Machaiah on \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Future of Wellbeing\u00e2\u20ac\u009d panel, moderated by Gina Murdock, with Deepak Chopra at the 2015 Aspen Ideas Festival in Aspen, Colorado.
