What is Aging & Spirituality about?

But how can we tap into what is inside of us when we aren't used to asking the questions, "Who am I," and "What do I want?" Now is the best time to focus on what you are all about, and we facilitate that journey with laughs and lots of conversation.

05/01/24 • 15 min

Welcome to Aging & Spirituality, where we explore the unrealized potential waiting for us to find it.


Do you struggle to find things or concentrate? You are not alone if you periodically feel disconnected from the present moment. Being mindful can help.


Mindfulness, the practice of being fully present in the moment with non-judgmental awareness, holds the key to addressing some of these challenges. With so many distractions, it is easier for our attention span to dwindle. Practicing being in the moment can significantly reclaim our focus and enrich our lives.


This episode explores practical mindfulness exercises you can incorporate into your daily routine. From listening to sounds with intention to appreciating the often overlooked aspects of life, these practices will help you cultivate a deeper sense of awareness and connection. We'll also guide you through a mindful breathing exercise designed to calm the mind and body, leaving you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.


Listen in now.
