Time to Get Old? Aditi M Sengupta. Harvard Medical School, Post Graduate Association Medical Researchers have discovered that the body produces chemical signals instructing it to start shutting down-to slide into “old age” and that rythmical breathing process can block those signals! Besides its anti aging effect, the rhythmical breathing practice is also an outstandingly potent reliever of sleep disorders (including jet lag), and appears to be effective in stimulating the immune system and providing protection from many diseases including cancer. Having a personal breathing practice in old age is like tapping into a new world of essential self - to be more accurate , rediscovering the creative side of things. Studies show that happy people are more productive at family life as well. To boost the happiness of old life breathe healthily, practice grateful thinking and spiritually get matured with kindness. It is a matter of new life, no regrets but where is the inspiration for investing? Before investing in any organization irrespective of the benefits at an age after retirement, a new comer must consider the investment objectives risks, charges and expenses of the fund.Guidance although eductional in nature , is not individualized and is not intended to serve as the primary or sole basis for future investments or decisions for future life. It is difficult to know how much to divulge and how much is age appropriate. The techniques taught for adapting the breathing practices manifest better results if it is familial in nature.The intervention in new comers at an advanced age sould be in a structured and wellplanned way which leads to success.Finding a qualified interventionist is the first prioriy. It is better to seek out interventionists who can document his or her direct experience working with people. The interventionist should describe his or her methods;this lets the aged person weigh whether those methods are likely to be a goodfit for the entire family in question.In this context a quote seems to be appropriate: Many voices and one vision:"Shower easily but shower safely." My parents as I have seen them were people of modest means; they measured success by having a little money that they didn't have to spend. By their own standards they were successful. But what does success mean now? In today's world the young people see flexibility and creativity as key to professional status.These ideas seem to be resonating in their parents too, particulary as they evaluate their post career lives- which could extend 10, 20 or 30 years post retirement.The pursuit of flexibility and creativity is a powerful force behind the trend of reinvention. In old age the biggest treasures are the love of Family. "The only way we can heal and grow hearty is if we know love."~J.D.M.
