Release your resistance to aging and step fully into your spiritual maturation.

In this illuminating guide, beloved teacher Cynthia Bourgeault explores aging as a sacred opportunity for spiritual evolution. Drawing on a lifetime of study and practice in the mystical Christian and Gurdjieff traditions, she introduces ten guidelines for mindfully accepting and working with the physical body’s changes while awakening the spiritual body within. By cultivating this inner body, we transform the uncertain and sometimes frightening process of aging into a period of growth.

Through the practices and reflection questions included in each chapter, you will discover how to:

• accept your physical changes,
• release outdated self-images,
• befriend new facets of your selfhood,
• and radiate the deep vitality of your inner work.

Bourgeault invites you to walk the path of authentic elderhood. Whether you’re already in your senior years or seeking wisdom for the road ahead, this book offers powerful insights that honor both the challenges and the profound opportunities that arise as we approach the end of our earthly journey.
