There are a lot of people who dabble in the metaphysical world, with astrology, tarot, dowsing, or bending spoons. So many possibilities are at our fingertips. And curing ourselves of disease and what ails us as we age is also very realistic, according to Kelly Turner, who wrote the book Radical Remissions.

Doing What I Do Only for the Right Reasons – My Reasons! I used to believe life was about struggling – well into my forties. But somewhere, somehow, something shifted, and I came to see that I didn’t want life to be about struggling. I wanted life to be fun. I came up with the the three most important qualities of being that I wanted in my life, no matter what: Freedom, Fun, and Flexibility! Every one of us aging gurus figures out sooner or later what the right reason is for doing what we do. We are all different

Falling Happens We fall. Sometimes we can’t get back up. Not a happy thought! So many of us live as victims to our circumstances. Aging gurus take a different perspective.

If we willingly choose to talk about how we choose to see ourselves, we can choose to see ourselves differently.

Stillness – Wisdom or Aging? Over the past few weeks I’ve been taking a nap almost daily. Sometimes it’s fatigue that’s driving me to lay down. Sometimes I just want to create an emptiness in my mind. I use my mind to think about, discover, and unconceal patterns in my life that limit my capacity to be the fullest expression of my essential self. All that thinking makes me want a break! When I lay down, I’m calling a “time out!” And, I can then focus my attention to where there is no thought – only emptiness. Sometimes, I’ll say,

There is No Such Thing as Dysfunctional! The truth is, we grow up in families, cultures, educational, political and religious environments that condition us to think, feel, need, and want what is considered normal for our culture. If we deviate from the norms of our environment, we are considered a black sheep, and perhaps become an outcast. So, regardless of how sick and crazy our culture might be, we learn to bend to their rules. And, within this, then we are “functioning.” When we venture out into the world where other cultures meet or meld, we might find ourselves limited

How Old Do You Feel? In a recent article in the NY Times, it was shared that how old you feel, or how young you feel, is a great indicator of your health. Generally, the younger you feel the healthier you are. This is good to know, right? We have the power to create health and vitality.
