    Introducing Deepak Chopra: How to Ask AI The RIGHT Questions To Grow, Heal, and Live a More Fulfilled Life from On Purpose with Jay Shetty.

    Follow the show: On Purpose with Jay Shetty

    Do you ever feel like you're just going through the motions?

    Do you ever feel lonely even when you're around people?

    Today, Jay welcomes back the legendary Deepak Chopra after six years, to discuss the unexpected intersection of spirituality and artificial intelligence. Together they unpack the beautiful blend of ancient wisdom and cutting-edge innovation.

    Jay reflects on his first meeting with Deepak and how their bond has evolved over the years. The conversation quickly flows into one of the most fascinating questions of our time: Can AI actually support our spiritual growth, rather than distract from it? Deepak shares his insights on the mysteries of the universe, the unseen forces that shape our reality, and why he believes consciousness, not matter, is the foundation of everything.

    Jay and Deepak break down the fears surrounding AI, from misinformation to war, and why it’s so important for us to grow spiritually alongside our technology. They explore how storytelling, creativity, and love are deeply human qualities that no machine can replicate, and how we can use these gifts to shape a better, more compassionate world.

    In this interview, you'll learn:

    How to Ask AI Better Questions to Unlock Wisdom

    How to Use Technology to Support Emotional and Physical Healing

    How to Find Purpose Through the Art of Storytelling

    How to Train AI to Reflect Inclusivity and Diversity

    How to Embrace Consciousness as the Foundation of Reality

    How to Create a Sacred Relationship with Technology

    Deepak reminds us that the answers we’re looking for often begin with a better question. And with the right mindset, even the most advanced technology can become a tool for inner transformation and collective healing.

    With Love and Gratitude,

    Jay Shetty

    Introducing The Science of Humming from The Science of Happiness.

    Follow the show: The Science of Happiness

    Did you know humming can soothe your nervous system?  We explore the stress-relieving power of Bhramari Pranayama, also known as humming bee breath, with marathon runner and activist Cal Calamia.

    Summary: Cal Calamia, the first nonbinary winner of the San Francisco Marathon, explores Bhramari Pranayama, an ancient yogic breathing technique that uses humming to promote relaxation. Dr. Gunjan Trivedi later explains how this "humming bee breath" enhances heart rate variability and why it’s key to managing stress. Part of our ongoing series, Breathe Away Anxiety: https://tinyurl.com/4jyvkj4t

    Time: 15 minutes, or as long as it feels right.

    How To Do This Practice:

    1. Inhale slowly and deeply through your nose for 3-4 seconds.
    2. Exhale for 6-8 seconds, making a gentle humming sound (like a buzzing bee) as you breathe out.
    3. Adjust the timing of your inhale and exhale to find a rhythm that feels comfortable for you.
    4. Continue the practice for as long as feels right, focusing on the sound and sensation of your breath.
    5. Note: This version of Bhramari Pranayama, practiced without specific hand gestures (mudras), was studied by Dr. Gunjan Trivedi.

      Guest: Cal Calamia is an activist, teacher, poet, and the first nonbinary winner of the San Francisco marathon.
