The Promise of Eternal Life - In This Body??

     Never in recorded history have humans lived indefinitely.  As a matter of fact, scientists estimate that the body is designed to live under the best of conditions, without chronic disease about 120 years.  However, most don't live nearly that long.  The current average life span in developed countries is about 80. What will happen in the New Age with Crystalline Energy Bodies, who knows?   What I do know is that well into the New Age many will continue to struggle  to enter crystalline form, and that we will don, at least for the near term, a physical body that will require continued and increased upkeep in order to keep up with the accelerated energies entering the planet.

With that said, let me also share that the current projections on older adults are rather grim.  It is estimated that by the year 2020, 20 - 25%  of the population will be over the age of 65.  The 65 and older population is projected to increase to nearly 1 billion by 2030.  That's a lot of old folks, will you be part of that group?  Are you counting on social security and sick care, or are you ready to take your health into your own hands?  In the year 2000 the USDHHS estimated that only 31% of people aged 65 to 74 years participate in 20 minutes of moderate physical activity 3 or more times a week.  Only 16% report engaging in 30 minutes.  Later, smaller studies showed little to no improvement in those numbers.  While the number of yoga students has increased since 2000, many of the benefits of yoga are being missed because of the Americanization of the spiritual practice into sport.  While sport is good, yoga does not provide the same benefits as traditional aerobic and weight training activities no matter how quickly they are done or how long the poses are held, even when you only do "power" poses.  Asana (yoga postures), just 1 of the 8 limbs of the yogic path, was not designed for that purpose and moreover, many aging adults who have remained active have stopped traditional forms of exercise and have replaced it with sub par yoga.  Should I mention here the staggering statistics on stress levels in our society and the percentage of our population on anti-anxiety, anti-depressant, and sleeping pills? Hmmm, no, I can't bear it.

     So, the questions remain, how do we age successfully and how do we increase our active life expectancy in a rapidly changing world, a world in which we are being called into our own mental, emotional, physical, spiritual and energetic Mastery?  Stay tuned throughout 2013 and I will continue to share knowledge, wisdom, experiences, insights, and practices that have been given to me by my guides both in human and celestial form.
