Synopsis

We live in a time when our journey through life seldom considers what lies at the end. There could be a desert or an endless sea, and we arrive with neither camel nor boat to see us through. Two psychologists skilled in mental health are reminding us to prepare for our closing years by connecting with that Essence within ourselves that is not subject to change, decay and demise. Drawing upon research findings in neuroscience, positive psychology and mindfulness, they map out the possibilities for embracing the Path of Aging, for embarking on a journey into the vast unknown of the Self wherein lies an authentic happiness, experienced as Peaceful Mind, Open Heart. The Handbook is both a guide for all of us on this wonderful journey towards our closing years and also a workbook for the compassionate carer. The experiential activities are designed to connect us with our abiding higher Self, with the eternal Witness who is calmly observing our changing thoughts, feelings, sensations and actions. When we identify with this Changeless within ourself, we can relate to the same immutable Essence in all, including those elders requiring full-time care, seeing the Sun ever-shining behind the clouds.
