Age with Spirit : Five Ways to Embrace Change in Your Life

In this powerful book, Swami Ambikananda challenges the myth that we can only realize our full potential in our youth and that dreams only belong to the young. Instead she shows us that as we grow older our quest is to gather up the experience of our years and to use it to reconnect to our ageless and timeless self. This is the immortal spirit within that is always urging us to follow paths of growth and renewal. If we can take up its spiritual and physical challenges our experience of old age will be rich, rewarding and joyful. Swami Ambikananda shares spiritual practices and physical exercises that will help you experience each wave to the full. She also shows you how to use your body's changes to embrace your true nature and arrive at a new self-knowledge and spiritual and physical vitality. This is an incredible, life-enhancing book that will completely transform your perception of aging and empower you to finally become the person that you have always wanted to be. Book jacket.
