In today’s episode, we delve into one of the most profound spiritual texts ever written—the Bhagavad Gita.

Though the Gita recounts a battle on the field of Kurukshetra, its lessons transcend time and space. They metaphorically represent the battles we face within ourselves—our doubts, fears, and the complexities of living a purposeful life.

This ancient scripture offers insights into dharma—our higher duty—and how to align with truth, love, and higher consciousness, even in the face of challenges, through a divine dialogue between Krishna and Arjuna.

How is the Bhagavad Gita still relevant in our rapidly changing world? And how can its teachings guide us to overcome internal struggles, act compassionately, and live with clarity and intention? Let’s explore these eternal truths and uncover practical ways to integrate them into our daily lives.

So, take a deep breath, center yourself, and join us on this journey into the heart of the Gita. Understanding your dharma could be the key to surviving life’s battles and thriving in the light of your true self.

In today’s episode, we take a deep dive into the soul-stirring process that advancing age can spark—a time for reflection, spiritual renewal, and profound growth.

As we move through life’s stages, our experiences naturally shape and redefine our spiritual selves. What brought us joy and meaning at 45 may no longer fulfill us at 73. Aging prompts us to re-evaluate our beliefs, face new challenges, and find new sources of joy and purpose. It’s a time that asks us to consider deeply: How can spirituality support us through life’s transitions?

We’ll discuss the spiritual significance of bereavement, the shifting of roles after retirement, and the often-overlooked importance of a “life review”—a time when many of us look back, take stock, and seek to resolve life’s loose ends.

We’ll also explore how facing the unknown of death, with faith as our guide, can help alleviate fear, nurture peace, and bring us closer to a sense of oneness with the universe.

Join us as we explore how, with the right spiritual tools, this phase of life can be an extraordinary journey toward wholeness and fulfillment.

Welcome to another episode of Aging & Spirituality! Today, we’re diving into a topic that’s both timeless and timely: the art of living in the present moment.

As we age, being present becomes more than just a popular mindfulness mantra—it becomes essential for our emotional well-being, physical health, and a deeper connection to the world around us.

Research shows that mindfulness can reduce stress, boost happiness, and even help us process pain more effectively.

In this episode, we’ll explore practical ways to cultivate present-moment awareness, its surprising health benefits, and how embracing the present can empower us to live with greater joy, purpose, and peace—even in the face of life's inevitable changes.

Aging doesn't have to mean increased stress and anxiety. Many people over 60 experience a boost in emotional well-being. But why? And how can you ensure your golden years are filled with more harmony and less worry?

As we age, physical changes in the brain, like cell loss and increased cortisol levels, can contribute to anxiety. The good news? You can actively counter these effects by working with your parasympathetic nervous system—the part of your body responsible for calming your mind, controlling your breathing, and reducing stress.

Simple practices like deep breathing, meditation, and cultivating positive emotions can help trigger this calming system. For example, one technique involves pausing when you feel anxious, focusing on your surroundings, and recalling a happy memory. These small shifts can make a big difference in your emotional resilience.

In this episode, we’ll explore practical steps you can take to reduce anxiety, boost positivity, and live with more ease as you age. From simple breathing exercises to mindset shifts, you’ll learn how to activate your body’s natural calming systems and create a more peaceful, joyful life. Tune in to discover how positive emotions lead to positive aging.

Today, we’ll explore a transformative practice: the art of surrender and how this one essential spiritual skill can guide you toward a life of happiness and contentment and leave anxiety far behind you.

As we enter autumn, nature invites us to pause, reflect, and appreciate the beauty of transition. The changing seasons naturally align with introspection. The shorter days, crisp air, and vibrant landscapes evoke a sense of nostalgia and gratitude, reminding us of the impermanence of life.

Autumn encourages us to slow down and be present. This stillness creates the perfect space to practice surrender—releasing control and allowing life to unfold. We’ll discuss how surrender is not about giving up but trusting life’s intelligence and finding peace in the unknown.

From my journey with yoga and a near-death experience, I’ll share how surrender has shaped my life, helping me release old wounds and embrace true freedom. Together, we’ll explore how you can harness the energy of autumn to shed what no longer serves you and align with the natural flow of life.
