Aging into Joy

Quirkiness encourages connection between people. When you let me see those wonderfully imperfect traits I can more easily accept my own. I am liberated when I see and accept my quirks as strength.

Elaine discusses the restless energy we often feel when the mind is in over-thinking mode. Research shows the heart has its own electrical activity and when it syncs with the brainwaves it creates a harmony or state of unity between your mind, body and spirit. Guided meditation included.

Elaine looks at the importance of adapting to change as we age and how this is made easier by aligning our current beliefs, thoughts, emotions, behaviors and words so we are aware of our authentic self. False or limiting beliefs makes us live smaller while authenticity expands our lives no matter how old we are.

I share some new goals for growth and expansion to bless our lives in 2025. I also update the adventures I enjoyed to celebrate my seventies. This year we will share my own growth and how my fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh adventures helped me to know myself and be myself in the most authentic way. My ultimate goal is to inspire you to take the journey of self-discovery by sharing my stories and...

Elaine answers listeners' question about what it means to hide behind a mask. When we feel emotionally unsafe or insecure we may show up disingenuously to protect ourself? Does this happen to you?

Elaine addresses how to move beyond feeling stuck in your life. Many times we focus on believing the outer world has the solutions, when in fact we can find the answers we need within ourselves. Honor your own needs and make choices that align with them even if it requires some planning. Choices not blame, sets us free!

Elaine explains why the "inward journey" must be taken before we can live a fulfilling life that reflects ones own beliefs, values, desires and dreams.

It is not selfish to live authentically expressing your true self. What is selfish is that someone else would hold expectations that you please or placate them. Is it time to empower yourself by offering yourself choices that grow and expand your life?

I explore the process of letting go and how it requires we enter into self-awareness, self-acceptance to create the conscious intention of releasing old hurts and emotions that still influence our daily life.

Out on the land on the second day of her Third Adventure, Elaine explores how our past impacts our present and asks: Is this working for me? She then comments on the dualities in our lives and why we need to be intentional about harmonizing them.

Elaine identifies why living in the now is vital to our well-being. She identifies practices to help you achieve and sustain living consciously every day; along with developing character strengths that support your choice to live in the present.

Elaine goes out on the land to seek internal guidance from her authentic self while letting go of masks that hide her true self. In the process, she shares the first big risk of her life.

Setting up my camp site to begin my third adventure while reflecting on my healing relationship with the earth, the symbol of the spiral and ending with a grounding meditation.

Exploring in this part of my spiritual journey how to show up authentically, even when I was feeling vulnerable: self-acceptance

When the body and the mind begin to bow to the limitations that come with aging we need to turn to our Spirit to help us adapt to our limitations, raise our energy vibration and reach for joy!

A chance meeting with an Ayurvedic healer in India provides the back story for my second adventure celebrating my seventies. Join me for an interesting journey into self-discovery and well-being.

What we believe about our aging matters big time! We can choose the path of being old or the path of being elder. Two completely different journeys, with the latter offering us the freedom to be vulnerable with confidence.

My second adventure celebrating my 70th birthday began two years earlier unbeknownst to myself. It is a story of being in flow, alignment and trust.

In this session I share how bringing freedom and choice into our lives awakens our spirit, allowing us to see the opportunities that can be born of obstacles.
