Getting Older

 

What can we learn from the Ayurvedic Life Cycle approach?

January 12, 2023

Many would agree that growing old is not fun. As the saying goes, Old age is not for wimps! 

Like old cars, we require higher maintenance and more repairs: while we may continue to enjoy previous activities like meeting friends for a meal, recovery time is longer! 

I remember an old friend, no longer with us, telling me that she only scheduled one major event a day and that she preferred every other day if possible. I didn’t really understand her then but now I see her point. 

On the other hand, some may see the ageing process as a gift when as seniors we are recognised for our wisdom, we have opportunities to complete our ‘bucket lists’ and the chance to slow down and live a life of our own choosing. 

Whether we prefer the ‘glass half empty’ or the ‘glass half full approach’, growing older is definitely a stage in our life cycle. 

As Dementia Marathoners, should we go for one or the other approach? 

On Saturday, January 21, Dr. John Douillard, DC, a recognized leader in Ayurveda and natural health, will share how science-based Ayurveda practices can shift physical and emotional patterns to help us improve our mind-body health, find greater spiritual fulfillment, and live a longer, happier life.undefined
