The answer may surprise you, but holistic aging is when you have a whole list of problems as you age. Haha, I wanted to keep it light for a change.
The other day I was talking to a woman approaching 70. She shared that she was dealing with a serious autoimmune disease and the doctor prescribed a very powerful drug Prednisone for her to take every day. She wanted to know if there were any other options.
I said that Prednisone was the drug of choice for her condition, and she should probably start on it for three months or so and see how it goes.
But clearly, she shouldn’t stop with the drug ..read more

When it comes to Kirtan Kriya and other forms of meditation, there are four main steps:
1. Comfort: Choose an easy position with your feet on the floor. You can sit in a chair if you want.
2. Quiet: Don’t check your phone or be on social media when you’re meditating.
3. Tool: In Kirtan Kriya, we take meditation to the next level by using a very particular mantra: Saa Taa Naa Maa.
4. A focused attitude: When other thoughts jump into your mind, you simply return to the mantra. It’s easy.
And that’s the secret.
