The chocolate effect: healing miracles of chocolate and compassion (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780692069936)

There's an unmistakable overlap between what Mayans and Aztecs knew many centuries ago about Xocolatl (show-co-la-til), the cocoa drink that they called the "food of the gods," and what Buddha knew over 2600 years ago about compassion. While the Mesoamericans were convinced about the magical aphrodisiacal powers of the early version of chocolate, Buddha's wisdom revealed the healing miracles of compassion to the world. Mayans and Aztecs were concerned about the limited body while Buddha was after the unlimited soul. Even as the tall claims about the physical benefits of chocolate are under scientific scrutiny, modern psychologists have already built strong evidence in support of compassion's power to heal the soul. Building on this proof, this book takes the miraculous power of compassion to a new level. It offers an alternative way of thinking about suffering associated with different human conditions-from anger, anxiety, fear, sex, sin and depression, to love, marriage, divorce, and suicide. Science and spirituality come together in an uncommon marriage to help unravel the cause of suffering through a fresh perspective. This book proposes a solution that is not only easily and effortlessly accessible at all times but is one that enlightened souls like Jesus, Patanjali, Buddha, Guru Nanak, Mohammed and others prescribed widely. The awareness I was blessed with during a deep meditation in January 2016 offered a new insight about this simple remedy. That's what I share in this book. I am convinced that the path to end suffering can be accessed through a simple and pragmatic shift in the lens through which we witness and experience the material and sensual world. I invite you to join me on this humbling journey with an open mind so that our voyage together can be mutually enriching. All profits from the sale of this book will be used to provide assistance to abandoned and abused children so that they can have a fair chance at life.
