Deepak Chopra Dissects The Brain For Young Philanthropists.

Quote.

When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.

Taking a guided mediation class led by Deepak Chopra is akin to taking your first guitar lesson with Eric Clapton.
Just before my first guided Meditation, I sit in the back of an un-air conditioned taxi crawling through traffic on East 46th Street. Flop sweat drips and my heart rate speeds up. I am agitated, as we pause behind not one, but two garbage trucks. I don’t want to be late. Breathe. Master of mindfulness Deepak Chopra will lead the crash course, which is akin to taking your first guitar lesson with Eric Clapton.
 
Mr. Chopra headlines today’s session of the Nexus Global Youth Summit, a four-day annual conference at the United Nations that attracts many scions of wealthy families and philanthropic professionals who want to help them spend their money wisely. This year’s agenda focuses on topics including impact investing, human trafficking and documentary storytelling, along with plenty of donor schmoozing and boozy parties.
 
Outside the U.N., I meet Meaghan Kennedy Townsend, the granddaughter of Robert Kennedy. A stunning, leggy woman in a pristine navy linen dress and tan leather high heels, I ask Ms. Kennedy Townsend, who teaches yoga and plans to launch an altruistic activewear line, for a few meditation tips. She describes meditation as a mind stroll and advises me to allow emerging thoughts “walk alongside you.” She steps toward me, places her hands above my ribs, then guides my hands to the sides of her flat stomach. Breathe indeed. After passing through tight security, attendees eventually settle into a high-ceilinged U.N. conference room dominated by long crescent-shaped desks sprouting flexible black microphones. Soon after guests sit in cushy black leather chairs, an alarm wails, Wooooooooo, Wooooooooo, Wooooooo. A white strobe light flashes. “That’s not good. Oh dear,” says the fellow next to me, Doug Balfour, a philanthropy consultant and author of Doing Good Great: An Insider’s Guide to Getting the Most out of Your Philanthropic Journey.
