Aging is more than growing older—it’s a spiritual unfolding.

But where do you get your spiritual insights from?

It’s when the words and your thoughts quieten down, and you connect again with your spirit, with your true self, the Soul.

It’s one step upwards, into your forehead, the seat of your soul.

Seen from this place, the journey of aging becomes just like A Cinema of the Soul.. where you can detach from the scenes of life, and watch how it unfolds..

The calm years of aging are a gift, waiting to bring you back to your authentic, innocent self.

Let your aging be a sacred becoming, because you are truly a gift in a world in chaos..

Recently, I was talking with two sons and their aging mother about how best to approach a longstanding health issue which had been culminating and agrivating into multiple problems each of which was not getting any better. In the end I recommended a referral to a geriatric specialist—someone who could truly prioritize her evolving needs and put her wellbeing first and balance it with the need for diagnostics as her son truly wished.

But the mother hesitated.

“I’m afraid of what my GP will think if I ask for that referral.”

Her loyalty to her long-time GP—a trusted figure in her health journey—made her afraid to seek what she actually needed.

When the GP finally saw her, he realized he had missed two years of changes in her healthcare journey, although the office had received the updates and letters, he had paid no attention to it as it was not in his daily scope of attention. From his side, as he heard the long list of culminating problems, he made a plan and referred her to several specialists—but not to the geriatrician.

This isn’t a rare story. It reflects something deeper about our system, and our relationships within it.

What We Owe Our Patients

As providers, we don’t need to be everything for everyone. What we owe our patients is trust—not just in us, but in a broader system of care.

We can say, “I don’t know.

What do you think?

Have you heard something else?

What’s your sense of the next step?”

By inviting patients into the conversation, we shift from holding the sole responsibility to building shared clarity.

We honor their wisdom and create space for collaboration.

From Loyalty to Inner Trust

We can also encourage patients to be loyal to their own intuition.

Sometimes, healing begins when they trust that quiet knowing—

the discomfort, the hesitation, the gut sense that something more is needed.

When we support patients to listen within, they become not just recipients of care, but partners in their personal and unique healing journey.

A System That Supports This

Healthcare professionals today are overworked and under-supported.

It's easy to miss shifts, delay action, or feel we have to carry it all.

That’s why stepping back—even briefly—is so essential.

We return with perspective, presence, and a renewed ability to lead rather than just manage.

Imagine a system where care flows from truth, not fear. Where loyalty expands into trust—in self, in each other, and in the healing process.

Let’s Get Real

Let’s get real about what care requires: clarity, courage, and compassion.

Let’s empower our patients to listen within.

Let’s empower ourselves to speak with honesty.

And let’s reimagine loyalty—not as fear of change, but as a deeper form of trust.
