Deepak Chopra: A few seconds a day can lead to a quiet mind

For America's youth suffering from phone addiction and a variety of social anxieties, it may only take a few seconds of quiet reflection to bring their minds to ease, according to celebrated pioneer of alternative medicine and personal transformation Deepak Chopra.

Chopra recommends young people take the time to ask themselves meaningful questions to begin their “journey” to the peace of mind he reports to enjoy, he told FOX Business’ Maria Bartiromo.

Chopra lives in a constant quiet state of mind, where thoughts cross his consciousness only when summoned.
