MINDFULNESS AND AGING

This presentation will address how mindfulness and self-compassion practices may enhance life in our elder years.

The presenter will define mindful self-compassion and describe how the practice of mindful awareness can reduce stress and deepen our appreciation of the present moment.

As we move into the mature years the challenges of aging can be met with a self-compassionate awareness that allows a reduction of the stress. The felt experience of the preciousness of life often becomes more vivid as we age. The presenter will accentuate how mindful attention can gently deepen our capacity to live each moment or our life with greater harmony. As our external activities may become more naturally limited with aging we can discover the joy and power of simply being alive in a more conscious manner. Rather than overly focusing on what we are no longer able to do we can more deeply appreciate our inner life and meaning filled moments.

As we begin to experience health and personal losses mindful self-compassion may assist us both in the grieving process and at being more joyfully at peace with the transitory nature of all life.


Light Snacks will be served.

Please arrive at 8:45 so that you can settle in by 9:00!
