What does it feel like to be old?

The other day, a young person asked me: - What did it feel like to be old?

I was very surprised by the question, since she did not consider me old.
When he saw my reaction, he was immediately embarrassed, but I explained that it was an interesting question.
And after reflection, I concluded that getting old is a gift.

Sometimes I am surprised at the person who lives in my mirror. But I don't worry about those things for long.
I wouldn't trade everything I have for a few less gray hairs and a flat stomach.
I don't scold myself for not making the bed, or for eating a few extra "little things."
I am within my rights to be a little messy, to be extravagant, and to spend hours staring at my flowers.

I have seen some dear friends leave this world, before they had enjoyed the freedom that comes with growing old.

-Who cares if I choose to read or play on the computer until 4am and then sleep until who knows what time?

I will dance with me to the rhythm of the 50's and 60's.
And if later I want to cry for some lost love... I will.

I'll walk down the beach in a swimsuit that stretches over my plump body and dive into the waves letting myself go, despite the pitying looks of the bikini-wearers.
They'll get old too, if they're lucky...

It is true that through the years my heart has ached for the loss of a loved one, for the pain of a child, or for seeing a pet die.
But it is suffering that gives us strength and makes us grow.

An unbroken heart is sterile and will never know the happiness of being imperfect.

I am proud to have lived long enough for my hair to turn gray and to retain the smile of my youth, before the deep furrows appeared on my face.

Now, to answer the question honestly, I can say: - I like being old, because old age makes me wiser, freer!

I know I'm not going to live forever, but while I'm here, I'm going to live by my own laws, those of my heart.
I'm not going to regret what wasn't, nor worry about what will be.
The time that remains, I will simply love life as I did until today, the rest I leave to God.
Blessings

How can Reflexology help me?

As a complementary therapy Reflexology can help to relieve stress, improve sleep and the circulation and rebalance hormones. It can also be beneficial to those suffering with digestive disorders, neck, shoulder and back problems, muscular pain, headaches, migraines, menopausal issues, hormone imbalance, infertility and sinus problems including hay fever.

Reflexology also helps to rid the body of toxins and create a balance within so promoting general well being. Reflexology is considered to be a method of preventative health care. In today's busy and hectic lifestyles it is important to find time to unwind and relax so if nothing else a Reflexology treatment can be considered as one of the most relaxing 60 minutes spent.

We all deserve some down time so why not give it a try? Once lockdown is eased I will be able to offer this service once more.

“The techniques taught at Reiki Level 2 enable you send very powerful healing to anyone, anywhere, at any time (including the past and the future), using the Distant symbol. When you further empower the Reiki by using the Power symbol, this means that it is not only possible to send general healing as described above, ie simply allowing Reiki to flow to a person, animal or situation, but to carry out a complete Reiki treatment on a specific person (or animal) at a distance, with the same effectiveness as if they were with you, receiving a hands-on treatment.”

From “The Reiki Manual” by Penelope Quest, the section, “Sending Distant Treatments to People”.

Have you thought about the benefits of Reiki to help you with your illness or condition? But because of the pandemic are isolating, or unable to go out to receive this beneficial treatment?

Why not try distant Reiki? Distant Reiki is the same as contact Reiki, apart from the fact that you don't have to leave the safety and comfort of your own home. The energy you will receive will be just as powerful, using Reiki energy and the Reiki symbols I have learned and been attuned to to offer this amazing treatment direct to you. If you want to find out more please don't hesitate to get in touch with me I will be only too happy to respond and answer any questions you may have.
