"Energy of Attraction: Manifesting Your Best Life," voiced by Oprah and Deepak Chopra, offers an audio meditation each day and a series of thought-provoking reflection questions designed to anchor the teachings, which are easily accessible from a mobile phone, tablet, or computer.

What participants can expect out of the 21-Day Meditation Experience: Energy of Attraction: Manifesting Your Best Life:

Week One- Your Dreams and How to Fulfill Them

As Deepak will show us this week, the "laws" of the universe are neutral. You can attract negative or positive forces in your life. Your challenge is to nurture the truest and most authentic desires within you. Those are the desires that fulfill you, expand you, and flow outward to impact others for the positive. If you want to live with the greatest purpose, passion, and contentment, your desires must line up with your true self... your soul self. When you're connected to that energy, you are unstoppable. It is the energy that works together with you, to co-create the life you want. In this week's meditations, Deepak guides us how to tap into our true selves, allowing effortless creation to unfold. There, we will take the next steps toward making our real dreams come true.

Physicians will learn the practical, ancient skills of meditation, yoga, chakra psychology and Ayurveda at The American Meditation Institutes (AMI) sixth annual mind/body medicine CME conference November 5-9, 2014 at the Cranwell Resort and Spa in Lenox, Massachusetts. Entitled The Heart and Science of Yoga, this 30 CME mind/body medicine training is accredited through the Albany Medical College Office of Continuing Medical Education.

Now in its sixth year of providing physicians continuing medical education credits, this 30 hour CME course will provide easy-to-learn practices that work synergistically (within the intricate medium of the stress system) to reduce inflammation and allostatic load while working toward establishing homeostasis.

Upon completion of this conference, attendees will be able to: demonstrate knowledge of how Yoga Science as mind/body medicine can help heal disease, manage addictive habits, alleviate stress, burnout and inflammation; develop equanimity, discrimination, will power, creativity and energy through a daily practice of meditation and diaphragmatic breathing; incorporate long-term strategies for healthy lifestyle choices using Yoga Psychology; demonstrate knowledge of the principles of both Ayurveda and Epigenomics; understand the physiological benefits of easy-gentle yoga (exercises for lymph system detox, joints, glands, muscles and internal organs); help themselves and their patients reduce conditioned habits of negative thinking through the healing powers of mantra science; utilize food as medicine (diet, nutrition, Functional Medicine) to maximize personal well being; and use Chakra Psychology (subtle emotional/mental causes of stress) to diagnose and treat dis-ease.

Each faculty member is committed to the advancement and training of Yoga Science as holistic mind/body medicine. Leonard Perlmutter, noted educator, philosopher and founder of The American Meditation Institute will serve as conference director. Leonard is the author of the six-time award-winning book The Heart and Science of Yoga and editor of the mind/body medicine journal, Transformation. Leonard has presented courses at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, the Albany Medical College, the U. S. Military Academy at West Point and The New York Times Yoga Forum with Dean Ornish, MD.

Additional presenters will include Mark Pettus MD, board-certified internist and nephrologist; Beth Netter MD, holistic physician and acupuncturist; Susan Lord, MD, holistic physician and Associate Director for Professional Training at the Center for Mind/Body Medicine in Washington, DC; Kathie Swift, MS RDN LDN, leading educator and practitioner in the field of integrative nutrition and author of The Inside Tract: Your Good Gut Guide to Great Digestive Health; Rosy Mann, Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery and faculty member of the Kripalu School of Ayurveda; and world-renowned artist Jenness Cortez Perlmutter, co-founder and faculty member of The American Meditation Institute.

According to Leonard Perlmutter, The more consistently physicians and patients incorporate the therapeutic practices of meditation and Yoga Science into their daily lives, most symptoms of stress related burnout and chronic complex diseases can be diminished or eliminated. This sentiment is echoed by recent conference graduate, Joel M. Kremer, MD, who is Board Certified in Internal Medicine and Rheumatology in Albany, New York, This teaching has been an enormous benefit in my personal and professional life. I have less stress, more focus, and am able to serve my patients with greater clarity. It becomes surprisingly easy now to recognize the many clinical situations in which patients with somatic manifestations of 'dis-ease' could greatly benefit from Yoga Science.

In addition to Dr. Kremer, numerous medical pioneers and healthcare professionals such as Mehmet Oz MD, Dean Ornish MD and Bernie Siegel MD have also endorsed this curriculum. Previous conference attendees have also noted that the material presented has made a beneficial impact toward their personal and professional efforts at self-care.
