There are more people aged over 50 now than ever before. In an age obsessed with the pursuit of eternal youth, Swami Ambikananda takes a spiritual look at the process of aging. Her practical, informative and holistic approach teaches us not to deny what is happening to our bodies, but to use it to arrive at a more complete view of ourselves and our relationship with the world. This book explains in layman's terms the process that our bodies undergo, and offers five spiritual rules to follow in order to get the most from this potentially fulfilling time of life, namely: make the unconscious conscious; open up; stay in touch; recreate yourself; and turn and face the other way.
