Are You Old at 50, 60 or 100?

Fifty isn't old compared with 100 and although you may never reach that three digit age, it can certainly change your prospective about what it means to be old.

While exercise, healthy eating and getting a high dosage of anti-aging nutrients are important, the best anti-aging weapon is always going to be your attitude.

When Old Age Really Begins

1. When you stop laughing especially at yourself
2. When you stop learning
3. When you lose your burning passion
4. When you stop caring about your appearance
5. When you stop making plans
6. When you stop caring about love and sex
7. When you stop seeing the good in others
8. When you give up on yourself and life
9. When you stop doing things just for the fun of it
10. When you consider yourself old

We start aging at the moment of conception. Aging is a journey with each stage a new sight to enjoy. While stopping the aging process is only possible by dying, the real trick is to keep living every day you are here.

The best part about having more years, is that 1. you lived that long and 2. you had untold experiences that made you stronger and wiser.

Be inspired by other wise masters in filmmaker Andrew Zuckerman's book Wisdom: The Greatest Gift One Generation Can Give To Another.

You'll learn how valuable your wisdom is and discover that you have much to give to younger generations.  Zuckerman asked seven questions to 50, over age 65, famous writers, actors, artists, designers, politicians, musicians and religious and business leaders. Their responses may just inspire you to feel truly young in spirit.

Why the Spots?

Age spots are the result of years of unprotected sun exposure and the use of tanning beds. Ultraviolet rays speed up the production of melanin, the dark pigment under the upper layer of the skin.

Sun damage combined with aging can send melanin into overdrive. The damage can start to show up in your late 30 and as the skin becomes less able to regenerate, those clumps of spots can take up permanent residency.

Age spots don't require medical treatment although they can mask skin cancer so watch any signs of change in the color, shape, size or texture of the spot.  Better yet get rid of those ugly age signs before they leave their tale-tail mark on your skin.

First Do No Harm

If you didn't heed the warning about sun exposure, you sun spots likely remind you daily. But don't make the same mistake with your lightening product.

Most skin lighteners on the market contain hydroquinone.  Studies show that hydroquinone is a carcinogen or cancer-causing ingredient. A proposed ban on its use by the FDA failed in 2006 after protests from the makers of 200 plus skin lighteners. Corporate profits may have won but that doesn't mean you have to lose by using potentially harmful products.

Perfect Skin Lightener by Vikki LaMotta is safe to use. It contains Alpha-Arbutin, which is derived from bearberry, a beautiful shrub with bright red berries that grows in most parts of the world. It has been used in folk medicine and as a natural skin lightener for centuries and enjoyed by bears for even longer.

Your spots will start to fade in just one or two weeks and within a couple of months, your skin will look younger, healthier and spot free. Use at the first sign of a spot and continue until it has faded completely.

Alpha-Arbutin is perfectly safe for continued use and can even reduce additional melatonin accumulation.

Of course, prevention is key so reduce sun exposure and always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a SPF of at least 15.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is being asked to change their attitude about aging by specialists in the aging process. These experts want to turn the concept of old age on its head by reclassifying it as a disease.  This change in attitude would allow pharmaceutical companies to develop drugs to specifically fight age-related diseases.

This new approach to anti-aging is a big step in how drug companies and the medical community respond to diseases in elderly patients. But it also opens the door to a more natural approach to self care as we age. We no longer have to consider diabetes, heart disease and Alzheimer's enviable conditions of passing years and can start to recognize them as diseases that can be treated and prevented naturally.

What's Wrong With This Picture?

Life expectancies in developed countries during the 20th century have been extended by as much as 30 years. Danish researchers recently concluded that more than half of all babies born in developed countries since 2000 will live to be 100 years old.

While we are living longer, we are also living sicker.

Without prevention or a cure, cases of dementia and Alzheimer's disease are anticipated to double every 20 years. Diabetes, heart disease and cancer are also expected to increase.  Thus, the chances of your dying of old age are greatly decreasing while the chance of your suffering serious medical complications are only increasing.

Change Your Age Attitude

By viewing these so called aged-related diseases as human diseases, you can take more control of your health and not only how long you live but how disease-free you live.  While scientist stay busy looking for a new drug that can "cure" disease, you can take an active role in living a more healthy lifestyle.

• Reduce your caloric intake. Studies on animals show that life spans can be increased by up to 40% by restricting the number of calories consumed.  But we hardly need a study to prove that as a nation, obesity is killing us.

• Take your antioxidants.  Researchers think that free radical damage is a central process of aging. Free radicals steal electrons from normal cells and cause a chain reaction breakdown. Green tea is high in antioxidants and is heart healthy.

• Exercise. If you are looking for the fountain of youth, you won't find it on the couch.  Research proves that regular exercise can prevent diabetes and heart disease and reduce arthritis pain, anxiety and depression.

• Laugh.  It all comes back to attitude not only as a way to stay healthy but as a way to overcome physical illnesses. Laughing everyday not only improves the quantity of your life, it improves the quality of the life you live.

How to Manage Anger

While children that express frequent anger are greatly influenced by external elements such as abusive homes, violent video games or peer conflicts, adults tend to suppress past, present and perceived stressors that manifest as anger.

Absent the presence of organic sources such as dementia, which often leads to aggressive behavior, dealing with anger means facing it head on:

1. Accept that anger is a reaction to a stessor in your life.
2. Find the source of that stress through honest analysis.
3. Establish new useful responses to the stessor.

Anger may create a host of problems in your life but it is not the problem. Until you accept that you are addressing the problem through emotional rage, you will be suck in a cycle of stress equals anger.

Life is a daily challenge and as we age our challenges can increase due to a decrease in physical and mental abilities, pain, illness, uncertainty and fear. Identifying the source  is the first step to either resolution or release of the stessor.

There are things we can change to resolve some stressors but there are others we simply have to accept and learn to let go of our attachment.

What's Your Stessor?

In a study done at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, acute pain was frequently found to be the underlying cause in people who angered easily.

Have you become so used to acute pain that you don't realize it is actually the cause of your anger? Or are you holding on to the past or a loss?  Do you have financial or relationship problems? Many people are surprised to discover that the source of their anger is really pain, sadness or fear.

Coping with Anger

You can only control how you react to angry feelings by redirecting your energy.  Not always easy to do when another driver cuts you off in traffic or you lose your job.

If you experience anger often, hypnosis may be a rare opportunity to completely relax and let the negative effect of anger release from your mind and body.

• Hypnosis can create new thought processes that allow you react in ways that resolve your problems instead of creating new ones.
• If you simply cannot bring yourself to deal with the underlying stessors, hypnosis can help you accept and acknowledge them so that you can express your real emotions in a healthy way.
• If you are tired of anger running you but you cannot find your way out of its maze of control, hypnosis can go deeply into your inner mind and help you uncover a peaceful and happy life.

Order today and feel better in days. Just listen while you go to sleep at night for a brighter tomorrow.

Meridian tapping therapy or Thought Field Therapy (TFT) is based on the ancient principles of Chinese acupuncture. Developed by American psychologist, Roger Callahan, TFT often uses affirmations and works with the body's energy system as a way to release negative beliefs that keep us from getting what we want.

Proponents claim TFT works 15-20 times faster that other types of psychotherapy and has a 90% success rate.  Since it's free, easy and takes little time or effort, why not give it a try. It actually feels good and may just anti-age you.

Although TFT is considered a fringe psychological treatment, it really isn't all that out there when you consider that you are just using a technique that reprograms your mind to attract what you do want instead of what you don't. Tapping parts of your body may look odd, until you understand its relationship to the meridian system.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) recognizes that we have a subtle energy field that attracts and repeals.  You experience subtle energy all the time and with all people. That gut feeling you had that he was trouble or that she was nice is just sensing or picking up the vibes in your environment.

When your attitude is bad, your subtle energy is blocked.

By middle age, we have all experienced thousands of reasons to have blocked energy. None of us are immune to pain and sorrow. Staying that way though is a choice.

As you blood flows through your circulatory system, subtle energy flows through your meridians.  If your subtle energy become stuck, you experience illness or emotional turmoil.  One way of releasing blocks is through acupuncture; another is through tapping.

Tapping How-To

1. Pick an issue or emotion to work on. As you start tapping, focus on that issue or emotion in the first cycle as described below. In the second or additional cycles acknowledge first and then release the matter.
2. Tap in the order given below. Use 2-3 fingers on your dormant hand and apply light, quick taps similar to if you were tapping a friend on the shoulder.  Tap 6-8 times in each area and then repeat the cycle 1 or more times.
3. Depending on the issue or emotion, repeat the process one or several times per day until the subtle blocked energy is released and your attitude is adjusted.

Meridian Tapping Points

• The outside area on the little finger side of the hand above the wrist ( know as the Karate Chop). The meridian point is related to the small intestine where we experience sadness, worry, grief and obsession. Tap here is enlighten and heal.
• The nose side of the eyebrow is related to the bladder meridian where we experience trauma, hurt, impatience and dread. Tap here for emotional healing.
• The outside of the eye brow on the bone is related to the gall bladder meridian where we experience anger, resentment and fear of change and the unknown. Tap here for calmness and compassion.
• Under the eye and on bone is related to the stomach meridian where we experience fear, anxiety, nervousness and disappointment. Tap here to feel safe and secure.
• Under the nose is related to Governing meridian where we experience shame, guilt and fear of failure.  Tap here for self-empowerment.
• The indented area on chin just below the lower lip is related to the Central meridian where we experience indecision, uncertainty and self-doubt. Tap this area for clarity, self-confidence and wisdom.
• Just below and to the side of the protrusion of the collar bone is related to the kidney meridian where we experience inertia, confusion and general stress. Tap this area to get the lead out and for clarity.
• 4 inches below the armpit is related to the spleen meridian where we experience hopelessness, insecurity and low self esteem. Tap this area for confidence and optimism.
• The top of the head is related to related to the Hundred Meeting Points meridian where we experience lack of focus, over thinking and self-criticism. Tap this point to access your intuition, spiritual connection and universal wisdom.

When actor Jim Carrey was still a star wanna-be, he wrote himself a check for ten million dollars and dated it Thanksgiving 1995. He kept it in his wallet and just before Thanksgiving 1995, he got the part in Dumb & Dumber, which earned him a paycheck of ten million dollars.

Anti-Age Your Concept of Abundance

Money. Few things get our attention faster and more completely than this single word. Some people can never get enough money, some can't get any and some seem to attract it like a magnet.

Is whether we have or don't have money in life destiny?
Or, as the proponents of the Law of Attraction claim,
can we learn to manifest money?

Jim Carrey didn't sit back and wait for the money to roll in. But he did attract the money by years of hard work. Still he would be the first to tell you that the check in his wallet served as a catalyst for making his dream of success come true. The truth is that although the struggling (and poor) Carrey wanted the money, what he was really striving for was success in show business.

Money is Abundance Energy.

Attracting money isn't voodoo as much as it is human nature.
What you focus on and what you make your passion,
will be what you fight tooth and nail to achieve.

Just hoping for money works for some people but for the rest of us that is missing the element of a way to actually get it. While some people have magically attracted money such as the lottery winner that has a dream with the winning numbers, most of us have to do as Carrey did, work for it.

What Goes Terribly Wrong

But hard work isn't the attraction element. Lots of people work really hard all of their lives and end up with very little.  Without intention, hard work is just that:  hard and work.

Additionally, the single mindedness of wishing or praying for money is usually greatly influenced by the lack of money.  A lack of money comes with a host of problems including fear, frustration, anger and depression. All negative energies that do little more than throw up roadblocks to getting money.

Manifest Making

Years of money stress can make it nearly impossible to manifest it in your life. Jim Carrey was still young when he wrote that check. Anything seemed possible to him and it was.

If you have struggled with money all your life, you may have your doubts that changing your attitude will change your fortune.

But if when you think of money fear and dread come to mind, an attitude adjustment is needed.  If you keep repealing money, it will keep eluding you.

The easiest way to attract money into your life is to put your logical, skeptical and negative thinking on hold and reach deeply into your subconscious to reprogram your money consciousness.

If you have read books on the Law of Attraction and though yea sure that will never work or  have people in your life that criticize the concept, your chances of success are close to zero.

If you have years of no-money-success, thinking that your logical mind is going to manifest abundance in your life is absurd.

Scientist are no closer to understanding the power of the human mind any more than they are to understanding the power of the universe.  Both are at your disposal to make your own ten million dollar success story.

Customer Reviews:

Take it from someone who was really poor. Not of my own doing but from the way I was raised. Everything about me screamed lack. Not any more. I now believe I deserve the best of everything. This CD will help remove the unconscious blockages you have about abundance.

I didn't know until this CD that I didn't think I deserved money. When Glenn talked about being comfortable with money and deserving it, I started getting anxious. This was a real surprise to me.

Do you want to stop believing in limitation and scarcity? Then get this CD and let it "remind" you of something you knew a very long time ago. Believe it or not, you came into this world with a prosperous mindset and slowly but surely it was covered up by "the ways of the world". The devil's tool is to get us to believe we are not worthy or deserving of living a wonderful life abundant in every area....

Even though our bodies are constantly sending us messages, we get too busy to really listen or we turn to Western medicine to get a pill to fix us.

Aches and pains in the body are toxins and blockages caused by physical injuries, physical self abuse and emotional injuries and imbalances. These toxins and blockages are barriers to receiving the benefits of subtle energy.

Subtle energy is your inherent power that connects you to the infinite universe.  Relax and learn to listen to it and how to use it to Anti-Age.

• Lie on the floor on a padded surface and scan your body for these aches and pain. It's important to release as much as possible.
• Relaxation may take time but recognizing the specific areas that hold injury is the first step in releasing.
• Relaxation, body therapy such as massage, energy work such as Reiki, exercise, yoga, Tai Chi, acupuncture, cleansing diets and other healing modalities should be employed until the toxins and blockages are sufficiently eliminated.
• Opening up to subtle energy is exhilarating but is, unfortunately, an unaccustomed experience. It's important to ground your personal physical energy before taking in too much of the universal energy.
• You've already started the process in step 1 and should continue with a program that feels good for you.
• It's imperative to add meditation to your journey and practice grounding techniques to keep you solidly anchored. Grounding is beyond the scope of this article but you can find helpful information at A Body of Knowledge for Empathys and Living By Design.
• After becoming aware and sensitive to your own energy field, tune into what you feel all around you. Pay attention to how you feel around different people, in buildings and in nature.
• This is your practice and soon your sixth sense will become as or even more active than your other senses.
• Pay attention to your gut feelings or Haragei (belly art or belly performance) as it's known in Japan. The Japanese  respect their  intuitive judgments and the art of manifesting their personal ki (energy).
• The hara (source of ki) lies just below the navel. We all know what it feels like to get "kicked in the gut" and it's instinctual  to place a protective hand at the abdomen during emotional upset.  Learn to listen to the belly for the positive messages that are also felt in this area.

We are meant to be wisdom-filled in our older years.  Practicing subtle energy awareness will ensure you receive what is rightfully yours and enable you to give joyfully back the riches of mindful aging.

If you think younger skin is all about the best anti-aging skin care products, you are only partially correct.  Your skin is your largest eliminative organ and is responsible for 25 percent of your body’s detoxification. Your skin can eliminates over one pound of waste every day.

Your eyes may be the mirror to your soul but your skin is the mirror to your body's level of toxicity and provides the first signs of poor health. You can help speed up and improve your body's detoxification process with a simply but highly effective technique known as dry brushing.

Dry brushing doesn't just exfoliate the skin, which will greatly improve its aging appearance, it also stimulates this vital organ and increase its blood flow and nourishment.

Dry brushing also feels great and can give you a youthful glow. In a short time, you will become hooked on how dry brushing makes you look and feel.

Lymphatic System

Dry brushes improves your health and provides anti-aging benefits by keeping the lymphatic system pumping. The lymphatic system is the single most important function of the body for fighting viruses and bacteria. If you seem to catch every cold and bug going around, your lymphatic system is likely not operating at its prime.

Lymph is a watery clear fluid produced in the bone marrow, lymph nodes, spleen, and thymus and distributes immune cells. Lymphedema is a blockage of the lymph nodes that shows up as swelling in the arms and legs. It can be  caused by infections, surgery, injuries, skin dis-eases and obesity.

Massage therapy to encourage lymph drainage  is a common treatment for the early stages of lymphedema, however, in advanced stages, surgery is necessary.

You can not only give your skin an anti-aging treatment, you can avoid developing lymphedema by doing dry brushing on a regular, preferably daily, basis. Not only will your skin look better, you will improve your immune fighting abilities, increase detoxification and promote your overall health.

How to Dry Brush

• You can use any brush, loofa or even a towel but for best results, use a brush specifically designed for dry brush.
• Use a brush with a handle so you can easily reach your back.
• Brush your entire body except for sexual organs and breast nipples.
• Dry brush before your shower or bath in order to wash away toxins.
• Use long gentle strokes in the direction of your heart.
• Use circular strokes on your abdomen and the bottoms of your feet.
• Dry brush daily for 5-15 minutes.
• Avoid sensitive areas, rashes, varicose veins and wounds.

If you have ever experienced butterflies in your stomach or felt sick to your stomach over some event, you know where your true feelings can be found.

With age our wisdom should increase as we learn to quiet the mind and develop an attitude of gratitude. As we age, relying on a well toned gut instinct become far more important than toned abs.

Learning to trust your gut feelings is the first step to developing your intuition. Developing your intuition can remove the age barriers that society imposes upon on their elders.  A finely tuned intuition is like having a guardian angel and an all-knowing being all in one and all inside of you.

Haragei is Japanese for belly art or belly performance.  The Japanese are very respectful of  their  gut instincts.  Hara is the source of Ki or the body's subtle energy field.  This source of energy is located just below the navel.  In martial arts, the student seeks to develop Haragei energy to develop a special power that exceeds ordinary muscular strength.

Developing Your Anti-Aging Hara

Would you like more physical and spiritual power to positively influence your life?  Wouldn't life we easier if you could tap into your inner wisdom when making decisions?  How valuable would it be to you to just quietly go inside and know for certain what direction to take in your life?  It's not only possible, it's already available to you and it's free.  With just a little daily effort, you can develop this power source.

1. Developing hara starts with awareness. Your hara is like a very quite tapping on the window of your soul. Everyday noise can really drown it out.  Pay attention to the tapping.

2. Be respectful of this power. You may learn to hear the tapping but if you ignore it, it will eventfully give up and go away. Learn to trust.

3. Spend time in your belly.  Japanese businessman are known to wait on making decisions until they have consulted their guts. Get out of your head and into your belly to find the solution.

4. Breathe from the belly. Taking long, slow and deep (but gentle) belly breaths will stoke the energetic fires in your gut and increase the hara power.

5. Strengthen the belly muscles with sit ups, belly dancing or yoga. It's not about muscle strength as much as it is about increasing the power reservoir. Focus your mind at the area below the navel as you build this power.

6. Massaging the belly will not only improve your digestion and circulation, it will awaken a long forgotten and dormant hara.

While it's nice to have a professional belly message, the above video demonstrates some techniques that you can do yourself.  Use a hand massager for best results.
