This is a message to mine and every other grandchild: Meditation helps you in life and is a lifeline to the part of you which watches the whole show, which doesn't change along with the hair and the teeth. Put quite simply if you don't find that space inside yourself when you can, going through the process of ageing without inner help can be difficult and meditation is the one thing which makes the ups and downs of life less confusing.
When you are a Grandparent you are definitely likely to be over 50 but more likely to be over 60 or even 70. And there are only a few grandparents or people of grandparenting age who are likely to be climbing Everest, running marathons and sailing single handed across the oceans like Robin Knox- Johnston. Most of us are not going to be high-flying pensioners, we are mainly going to be low-flying! So it has to be a good idea to be prepared for this stage otherwise we might take it all too seriously and be full of regret that our toes curl inwards and that reaching our toe nails, never mind about painting them, is a triumph! No more stiletto shoes for us, we may be looking for the velcro fasteners. And our teeth aren't waiting to be whitened, they are waiting for us in a glass! We aren't thinking Jacuzzi, we are wondering if we should put a handle on the side of the bath in order to steady ourselves as we climb in!! It takes a rather determined state of mind to make it through this part of our lives. It takes a bit of humour, a bit of patience and an understanding that this is the way it is, was and ever has been and use cheerful reason to find a point to it. Most important though is to discover what YOU REALLY ARE.
So find out about how to have a spiritual life while you are young or if you are a granny, find out because its never too late! And here is your chance....On November 26th in the evening, (7.00 pm) Just this Day finds itself at St James's Church, Piccadilly in London with two remarkable women, Laura Hyde and BK Isabelle Gauthier facing questions from a young panel on what having a spiritual life means. You can come along, you can bring a friend and if you can't come because you live too far away you will be able to see the film of it. .
