Andrew Weil : (6) " For many in the modern world, carving out time for both traditional seated meditation and exercise has become close to impossible. " - Andrew Weil " Dreaming is a phenomenon of purely individual consciousness, and consequently impossible to thoroughly deconstruct by a community of researchers. But dreaming matters. " - Andrew Weil " In the world at large, people are rewarded or punished in ways that are often utterly random. In the garden, cause and effect, labor and reward, are re-coupled. Gardening makes sense in a senseless world. By extension, then, the more gardens in the world, the more justice, the more sense is created. " - Andrew Weil " Even low-calorie diets and vigorous exercise fail to work in the long term for at least some people. " - Andrew Weil " We have known for many years that we need vitamin D to facilitate calcium absorption and promote bone mineralization. " - Andrew Weil " Technology has a shadow side. It accounts for real progress in medicine, but has also hurt it in many ways, making it more impersonal, expensive and dangerous. The false belief that a safety net of sophisticated drugs and machines stretches below us, permitting risky or lazy lifestyle choices, has undermined our spirit of self-reliance. " - Andrew Weil
