As we age, many of us have a desire to be good examples and give wise advice to others, our younger family members especially. To develop this wisdom we need to look closely not only at what we do well, but also our own inadequacies.
Becoming elders, role models, mentors requires a lifetime of experience in daily life, but also continued learning with certain practices, including 1) Studying and contemplating teachings, 2) A regular practice of meditation, 3) Applying our growing knowledge to our lives. This course explores practices which have been shown scientifically to benefit our brain and build our mindfulness and kindness, our awakened awareness.
