Aging and Nutrition
Jeanne Calment holds the title of the eldest senior citizen on the planet who made it to 122 The energy sciences tell us that 120 should be the normal lifespan for us humans
Not surprisingly many of us are not only interested in living long lives but in talking with friends and patients over the years we also want to see productive lives in our later years
The current matter science medical discipline and its research has studied this issue molecularly but from an energy science view this whole thing about aging will defy the contemporary molecular probings
You're Only As Old As You Think You Are
This aphorism that we've heard over the years is born out in what the energy science medical discipline has to say about aging
You see aging actually like any disease process begins in the mind because the body including its genetic information is constantly listening to the mental thoughts that we create
And this is why the molecular answer about aging will not yield an answer to the matter science probing The mind is an energy field not a molecular(matter) field
So if you think you're young, you're probably right
But with these basic premises let's examine what aging looks like in terms of the mind
Rigidity, Inflexibility, and Its Opposite
"I've always done it like this"
Such is another common phrase that we hear ourselves or elders say when confronted with change and brings up the way the mind starts seeing things as it ages
It is of little value to have an old mind in a young body or to renew the body but keep the mind tied to the past and its compulsions In so doing the mind interferes with the energy flow through its field and this leads to stagnant energy, a slugging of the free flow
In fact, we often want to rejuvenate the body and prolong our lives in order to continue the same old mental and emotional patterns that are wearing us out and causing pain to others as well It's completely counterproductive Take a bunch of vitamins and supplements yet continue with the same worn out emotions and patterns of thinking
With age the mind energy field begins to sector choices out, develops rigidity and resistance to change, and develops barriers for newness
This sectoring out of choices occurs because of beliefs, judgements, prejudices, opinions of others, and a host of energetic forces that bring about seeing each day's choices as fresh and new
Clinging To The Past
Being stuck on old outworn memories inhibits freshness and believe it or not is stressful
A friend and I were talking about this topic and he related that there were studies of CEO's who by studies showed more stress the more inflexible they appeared in responding to questionnaires
So having the mind attached to creativeness and newness in experience is actually longevity promoting but also amazingly and paradoxically less stressful not more stressful
Exercising Your Flexible Mind
So my friends flexibility of the mind is key to longevity and living to the ripe old age of 120 years as the energy science predicts
What does this look like?
Experience new ways of doing things like nutrition
Explore not listening or reading mass media(mental junk food)
Consider conscious yogic breathing
Perhaps look at the value of using ghee
Consider using a monodiet of kitchari for a week
And when you see yourself in resistance, RELAX!
What accelerates this process is that as you become more flexible in the mind in adopting new mental habits that are energy science promoting, the body which is intimately spliced with the mind gets the benefit as well It becomes healthier as a result!
