Inspiring readings for spiritual seekers growing older, wiser, and fiercer

• Presents years of weekly inspiration and practices pointing the way forward through every conceivable mood, opportunity, and stumbling block on the spiritual journey through the second half of life

• Includes quotes and stories by and about mystics, sages, and old souls from ancient through contemporary times who have walked this path before us

• Shares insightful guidance on transforming loneliness to solitude, loss of identity to freedom, anger to self-protection, fear to faith, and envy to love

Many of us navigating the years beyond midlife report high levels of self-acceptance, freedom, and joy, but there can also be bouts of second-guessing and regret as well as the occasional longing to be reminded that you’re not in this alone.

Designed to be read weekly in two-year cycles, the 120 timeless readings in this book focus on the issues and concerns that arise among those who view aging as a path to spiritual culmination. Transforming loneliness to solitude, loss of identity to freedom, anger to self-protection, fear to faith, and envy to love, Orsborn’s wise and compassionate insights are seasoned by quotes and stories by and about mystics, sages, and old souls from ancient through contemporary times who illuminate the path to living a full life while embracing old age. The connecting thread is the reminder that you have what it takes to shift from reacting with fear to the challenges of aging, instead accepting these challenges in a spirit of gratitude as they help you grow not just old, but whole.

Once again, Carol Orsborn stirs the reader to reflect upon aging as an opportunity for depth and expansion and, week by week, to experience that which abides through lifes changes. * James Hollis, Ph.D., author of Finding Meaning in the Second Half of Life * Spiritual Aging is a treasure chest filled with wisdom, compassion, and joy. This book, from one of the most trusted voices in the field of conscious aging, is a profound and creative expression of Carols deep inner work, long life experience, and academic training. Its like having a personal spiritual guide who is available whenever you reach in her direction. I highly recommend this book. * David Chernikoff, author of Life, Part Two * A treasure that delivers invaluable guidance and intensity for anyone on the path of conscious aging and divine exploration.

This book is the honest, lived experience of one who walks her talk. * Kamla K. Kapur, author of The Privilege of Aging * Carol Orsborn harvests the deep wisdom of lifes final act. Through extensive research, keen observation, archetypal symbolism and transpersonal experience, and her own exemplary personal growth, she shows us that we are the path weve been seeking.
