Staying Young in Body & Mind


My chronological age is 48. My biological age is 26/27. My psychological age is 28. As I intend to live to at least 100, I will celebrate my second rebirth in 2011.

What about you? How old are you? How old is your body in terms of critical life signs and cellular processes (your biological age)? How old do you feel (your psychological age)?

Many people accept aging as an inevitable process: “We all grow old, our body breaks down eventually due to wear and tear, and we will die.” Yet, how true is this? Thousands of years ago, a great Indian sage, Shankara declared, “People grow old and die because they see others grow old and die.” It has taken us centuries to even grasp this extraordinary insight – that the aging body is simply responding to social conditioning. We have a choice – to age well because we believe we can; or to suffer the “inevitable” maladies that accompany old age: growing feeble and weak, blood pressure rising, growing deaf, cholesterol levels rising, immune system declining, and so on.

So the first step to aging well is having the belief that you can. If you believe you do have choices that can take you into a healthy, old age – regardless of genetic family history and what society around you suggests, you will of course, then exercise those choices.
