Reshaping our image of Aging
Aging happens. It’s OK.
Let yourself in on that secret so you can settle into it.
This gives you a front-row view to an ever-changing circus of
thoughts and sensations.
Exercise
Remember a moment in your
life where mindfulness was
used.
A moment of solitude or a
situation with someone else in
which you offered or received
the quality of mindful presence.
What was happening?
How did you feel?
Why has this stayed in your
memory?
“When you realize nothing is lacking,
the whole world belongs to you”
-Lao Tzu
Living is being aware, having a balanced
acceptance of your present experience.
It isn’t more complicated than that. It is
opening to or receiving the present
moment, pleasant or unpleasant, just as
it is, without either clinging to it or
rejecting it.
Thanks!
