We grow old.
Many people resist or deny or regret the process
due to various stigma that is associated with old-age. But the truth is that,
we can make it one of the most beautiful things ever to happen to us. Would you
like to know how and why?
The Restart Program from Brighter Minds supported
by the Heartfulness Institute takes apart the aging process to its bare nuts
and bolts and gives us a ringside view of what is going on. The program then teaches
us how we can stop all the negatives of the aging process and accelerate the
positives.
This program has a deep and strong foundation in
the research and study in areas such as neuroplasticity, neuropsychology and
neurophysiology. Some of the best scientists in these areas have spent years developing
refining and finetuning this program. It is conducted by professionals who are
trained and prepared by these experts.
One of the most damaging losses in the process of
aging is the decline of cognitive reserve (CR). Simply put, a reduction in CR
leads to our loss of ability to learn new things as we grow. When CR depletes,
we see certain behavioral as well as neurophysiological decline or slowdown. We
are used to discarding this as “senility”.
The Restart Program provides a highly structured
and systematic proven set of guidelines, practices and methods for slowing down
these aging processes, even reversing the process, making us mentally agile,
physically active and emotionally joyous just the way we were, when we were
small children.
The program has two tracks which are intertwined
so beautifully that the net result is literally mind-blowing.
The first track are the practices working at the
neurophysiological level if you may. We learn about reducing device usage,
exercising better, eating better, and sleeping better. There are two seemingly
opposite aspects to life. One is that of challenging ourselves and pushing
ourselves to our limits constantly. We need to do this so that all the good
“brain juices” are produced in the right quantities. The other aspect is that
of maintaining rhythm and routine so that we can form and retain good habits.
We learn how to balance these two aspects which look like opposites at first. We
work on our habits that form our renewed and healthy lifestyle.
The other track in the program works at a
completely different level. I am referring to the level of our subtle bodies.
These are the Heartfulness Practices which add life to the program and meaning
to the life of the participants. This is really a huge bonus that participants
receive, even if they may not fully realize what is that beautiful change
happening inside them through these practices.
Let us not grow old, let us grow wise and remain
young at heart.
