Can sickness, weight gain, and loss of vitality actually be avoided as we age? In this illuminating episode of Truth and Transcendence, we challenge the deeply ingrained beliefs surrounding aging and explore the fascinating concept that our perceptions—and not aging itself—might be the real culprits. Join Catherine Llewellyn as we uncover how an active lifestyle, much like that of the farmers in her UK community, can keep us vibrant and connected to the present moment. We'll also delve into the idea that the anxiety around aging may be a first-world problem, born out of our improved living standards and increased leisure time.
