Joy of Ageing Esoterically - Ageing Joyfully

AGEING JOYFULLY

31/5/2019

There is a perception that older people should be a certain way and many begin to think, feel and act in the way they believe society expects an ‘older person’ to be. How different would it be if ageing was celebrated and welcomed as a time when we have the opportunity to share our wisdom with others, to live steadily and consistently and to offer inspiration to all those around us?

How different would it be if life were seen as an on-going cycle of experiences and expansion? We all have an innate knowing, wisdom and joy that is within us from birth and it is never too late to reconnect to this.

NO REGRETS – THE KEY TO AGEING JOYFULLY

30/5/2019

When I was growing up the concept of Ageing Joyfully hadn’t made its way to my parents or their social circles. Life had been hard for their generation.
My parents grew up during The Great Depression and consequently were just the right age to be fully engaged in the awful experience of World War 2.

CELEBRATING THE BEGINNING OF MY 88TH CYCLE

30/1/2019

My birthdays just keep getting better and better as each cycle comes and goes! Recently I turned eighty-eight and my birthday celebrations were absolutely awesome. As well as receiving messages from my New Zealand friends, I also received messages from different parts of the world including from a lovely acquaintance in Nova Scotia and I enjoyed two very special outings.

AGEING BEAUTIFULLY BY MAKING SELF-LOVING CHOICES

30/12/2018

Ten years ago I would never have considered that ageing beautifully was something that I would feel; ageing and beautiful were two words that I would never have put together. I rarely made any self-loving choices and, at the time I was twenty kilos overweight and feeling the effects of a body that was starting to show signs of ageing.

HOW I SAVED A LIFE!

29/11/2018

Eighteen months ago I saved a life. It was not an easy task and I had to call on all my skills and knowledge  to make it happen. Faced with the serious situation I found that I was calm and very focused and strong. Where all that came from, I’ve no idea except to say that what I have learned about myself has been both humbling and powerful.  No, I am not a hero, you see the life I saved is my own.

AGEING IN TODAY'S SOCIETY – WE ARE LIVING LONGER, BUT ARE WE LIVING WELL?

29/9/2018

I recently read that in 2050 there will be more people worldwide aged sixty and over than children under sixteen for the first time in history. Longer life spans are on the increase; however, most people are simply living their elder years in poor health, often medicated, rather than living with vitality and joy. I have personal experience of how health pans out in the elderly as my mother is 88 years old and has Alzheimer's disease.

ENJOYING HEALTH AND WEALTH AS I AGE

30/7/2018

At 56 I am feeling the best I can ever remember feeling in the whole of my life, and, each day continues to be greater than the one before. Impossible you may say! And if we take common parlance in daily life - it does buck the trend. There are many things I hear people say about ageing such as:
"It's all a downward spiral from here on"
"It's because we are getting older", or . . . . .

THE JOY OF TURNING FORTY

29/6/2018

This year I turned 40. In the lead-up to my birthday it was interesting to observe that the general consensus from those around me was quite negative. Comments like, ‘you are over the hill’ or ‘it all goes downhill from now’ etc. seemed to be the popular theme, but for me turning 40 was something I embraced wholeheartedly. In fact, I had been looking forward to it for some time.

I ENJOY AGEING

30/5/2018

Being 64 years old I can say I am truly enjoying ageing and I have felt like that for quite some years. I was never concerned about getting older, about wrinkles or being less worthy because I am older. What used to concern me was that my health, or deteriorating health would not allow me to look after myself anymore or to live independently.

LIFE IS GREAT AT 87!

29/4/2018

I would like to share how I feel about being 87 on the 22nd of this month. For some reason, I am feeling quite excited about it. Plus, I am proud to tell people that I am turning 87. What an amazing journey this life has been for me with all the ups and downs and roundabouts! I see my life as a tapestry of different colours and as a dear friend said, “Yes, it is, and it also has threads of gold running through it.”
