(huffpost)-In a broadcast of Oprah’s "Super Soul Sunday,” Deepak Chopra  explains how changing perceptions and thoughts can change - and even reverse - the aging process.

.

"Do you believe that you can change your age if you change your perception?" Oprah asks.

“More than perception, but... yes," he says. "There are 10 really very specific things that you can do to change your biological age. Your biological age means your blood pressure, your bone density, skin thickness, number of wrinkles, hearing, immune function…”

Deepak goes on to reveal how people can use the power of thought to reduce their age, from repeating a daily mantra to putting an end to the feeling of always being in a hurry. "Change your relationship with time," he advises. "Because if you're always in a hurry, then your biological clock will speed up. People who are saying, 'I'm running out of time,' their blood pressure goes up, their heart rate speeds up."

Deepak also mentions one of his own favorite anti-aging activities: meditation. "Think of your body as an energy field," he says. "Monitor your energy.... You've got to have rest."

Deepak Chopra tells Oprah that he likes to follow the maxim, “People don’t grow old; when they stop growing, they become old.”
