Contra-aging : What Does It Mean?
Tuesday, November 24th, 2009 Subscribe To Our Feed
Anti-aging adverts are everywhere. You will see them in cosmetics and cosmetic surgery mags. Additions and exercise plans. But what does it mean? We all age, don’t we? Where does this contra-aging want come from? Is it all about vanity?
No, it is maybe more about our fear of death than it is narcissism, though self-love certainly performs a part. Deep down, many of us are terrified of dying.
I don’t care what toastmaster’s says, fear of dying is big for every one of us. Toastmaster’s has been saying for years that most of the people are more fearful of public talking than of dying. That may be true if you are about to get up on stage and speak to 3,000 people, because talking is more imminent to us than death. But look deeper and you might even find that our fear of death is right there under the fear of public speaking. We are afraid folks won’t like us so much that they’d kill us.
We can apply creams, do laser treatments, augment our boobs and get face lifts until the day we die. But that day will still arrive. What if we could actually get close to this feeling? This fear of dying? What would happen?
Try something. Close your eyes and imagine the instant of your death. It isn’t important how you die. I mean the very moment when you die. Not the instant before and not the instant after. The exact moment of dying. Imagine it. You may think this is frightening. Trust me. It is an experience you may never forget. If you can imagine the exact moment of your death, you could be terribly surprised what you find.
What do you feel? When I ask my clients to do this exercise, every single one of them responses with things like, Peace, Release, Letting Go, or Floating.
OK, now you can buy all of the anti aging wrinkle creams and cosmetic surgeries you want. Let it be about looking good and your well-being.
