80. "Mindful Aging through Sadhana: Finding Purpose in Daily Practice"
In this episode of The Art of Aging Mindfully, we explore a cornerstone of the spiritual journey: sadhana. Often translated as "conscious spiritual practice," sadhana is so much more than just a routine or habit—it’s a disciplined, intentional path that fosters inner growth, resilience, and a deep sense of purpose. But what truly draws us to sadhana, and why do so many commit to it, day after day?
Join me as I unpack the essence of sadhana and its unique power to guide us through life’s challenges, especially in the second half of life when our focus shifts from external achievements to inner fulfillment and legacy. We’ll talk about how sadhana:
- Answers our deeper call for meaning and authentic connection
- Builds stability and resilience, creating an anchor through life’s changes
- Opens the door to a sense of the sacred and connects us to something greater than ourselves
- Keeps us aligned with our highest purpose, serving as a daily ritual for growth and self-realization
Whether you’re seasoned in your practice or just beginning to explore, this episode invites you to consider sadhana as a journey rather than a destination—a path where every step brings us closer to peace, self-knowledge, and mindful living.
