Love for David Simon
A Note from Dr. David Simon:
Dear Chopra Center Family,
In the amazing and mysterious ways of the universe, earlier this week, I was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor.
As of this time, my only symptoms are some visual changes. I am very grateful that I have identified compassionate and competent physicians dedicated to supporting my maximum recovery. To that end, I will be undergoing surgery tomorrow.
I want you to know that although I am feeling some sadness, my overwhelming sense is one of tremendous gratitude, appreciation, peace, and love. My life has been so full and rich, and the love that I am surrounded with permeates every aspect of my body, mind, and soul.
If things go according to plan, it is my expectation that within a few weeks, I will return to support the Chopra Center’s mission of healing and transformation. We have created a magnificent team, which is fully capable of continuing the beautiful and important work of the Chopra Center.
If you wish to lend your support, which I would greatly appreciate, here’s what you can do:
- Keep my family and me in your prayers. Knowing that the collective plays a vital role in shaping reality, I sincerely welcome your loving thoughts and good intentions.
- The Chopra Center team has set up this website where you can post your prayers and good wishes, share stories if I have touched your life positively, and send jokes and funny stories for I truly believe that laughter is the best medicine. I plan to visit this site on a daily basis for your precious inspiration.
- Tell the people in your life that you love them now. Life is so delicate and precious. Take advantage of this opportunity to express your love and gratitude to all those who will listen.
I want you to know that however things unfold, I am filled with love and bliss for this opportunity to have a human incarnation.
Updates will be posted as we receive them. This is a delicate and wonderful time, so let’s come together as a community to support each other. I will leave you with the words of my beloved Hafiz:
“When all your desires are distilled
You will cast just two votes:
To love more.
And be happy.”
~Hafiz
We’ll get through this together…
Much love,
David

At “Journey Into Healing” your bright light embraced my heart. As I teach yoga tonight, I will bring healing prayers to you from them. Today is your surgery and I am including this link of the healing Unity Chant by the Dali Lama. http://www.word-designs.com/healingmantrasung.htm

Dear David, I was at Journey into healing in September, it was amazing. The most powerful thing for me that week was the moving meditation to music that you did with us on the last day. You also captivated my heart with your talks. I am so honored to have experienced Journey with you. I am continuing my journey to Seduction of Spirit and onto the teachers path. Thankyou for sharing your wisdon and compassion. May God bless you and give you the gift of many more years of bliss and sharing in this life. Selfishly, I really hope to be blessed with your presence as I continue my experience on the teachers path at the workshops and beyond. I have been sending my love and healing thoughts, hope and energy to you every day at ll:00 mtn time among others of us from Journey who have decided to collectively do that for you and a few other people afflicted with cancer. Again thankyou so much for your wisdom, compassion, teaching, and wonderful healing energy. I hope to see you again in my future visits. Namaste, and Peace and Happiness to you and your family. Laura- P.S I also told your son Max that I know someone who just graduated from UCLA as a film maker and may be able to help with the movie he mentioned wanting to make. If he’s interested please don’t hesitate to E-mail me back.

Kia ora David
There are many things in life I do not know, but one thing I do know is love and I have a lot to share, so take as much as you need, I will still have plenty left for myself and others.
