The mind has
a wonderful way of aging. It mellows, matures and through experience develops a
sense of wisdom. It learns to laugh, appreciate and anticipate. The soul never ages. It just grows. It remains
both playful and curious while observing and acknowledging the lessons of life.
But the body is something different. Left to its own devise it weakens and
deteriorates. We need to direct the body towards health and fitness so that we can
experience quality of life. The number one predictor of a loss of independence
is bone weakness. The bones are the skeletal frame of your body. But when we
think about the bones we don’t think about the importance of the joints. The joints
are what allow us to move. Joints are the connecting points between two bones.
Some are small, some are large. Some move a lot and some move very little.
In our
western culture we are beginning to lose some of the functioning of our larger
joints such as the shoulders and the hips. As a result the smaller joints such
as the elbows, wrists and ankles are taking on a larger load. So to maintain
and improve our physical functioning we need to accentuate the movement of these
larger joints. That is exactly what we do in Doctor Lynn’s Anti-Aging Yoga Dance.
Today let’s work on building strength, flexibility and balance into the joints
and the bones of our body
Just like
the body the mind is the connecting point between actions and words. Some
thoughts are small and some are large. Some thoughts move a lot and some move
very little. As we move through life, body, mind and soul it is important to remember
that quality of life means the ability to approach life with a sense of balance,
flexibility, strength and peace.
Namaste
Doctor Lynn
