OWN THE GREY

Health & Wellness Podcasts

MODERN ELDERS are not like the former elders in that we have zest for life, and passion for adventure and exploration. We are not content to spend all our days in a rocking chair on the porch. We are active and social. We don’t feel old (although our bodies sometimes do.) We have a youthful mindset, believe that the best is yet to come, and we want to get the most out of life. This podcast is about growing older with a healthy body, mind and spirit - for 50+, baby boomers and seniors. Award-winning holistic health professional, Debra Jones' mission is to change negative attitudes towards aging and reinstate the reverence it deserves. Our society tells us that aging is undesirable. Why? As soon as we're born, we're aging. At OWN THE GREY, we believe that our age should be worn as a medal of honour. As we get older, we gain the power of perspective and WISDOM; an asset gained only by age. Let's change the conversation and set new, healthy, POSITIVE attitudes, and eliminate outdated stigmas. At OWN THE GREY, we uncover the hidden wisdom from the MODERN ELDERS of society so that ALL ages can be inspired by, and benefit from their stories.

Lions Gate Meditation

8/1/2024
Each year on August 8, we're given a potent opportunity to manifest, thanks to the opening of the Lion's Gate portal. In numerology, the number eight is known to act as a bridge between the unmanifest and the manifest states. You can focus on manifesting your desires at any time but during the opening of the Lions Gate Portal, your efforts will be amplified. The portal is open between July 28 and August 12 but August 8th is considered the official activation day. To help us activate these energies and embody them I have created a meditation to awaken your personal power, and energize your strength and ability to manifest your deepest desires. In this guided meditation, we activate a lesser-known chakra called the Cerebellum Chakra. The Cerebellum Chakra is located at the base of the skull, where the neck and head meet. It is associated with accessing hidden realms, creative ideas, and your soul contract. A balanced Cerebellum Chakra is believed to facilitate prophetic dreaming, intuition, and clear perception, while an imbalance can lead to clouded judgment, negativity, and disconnection from your inner voice.

How to Get Unstuck

11/1/2023
As you mature, you sense the need to change and grow to accommodate who you have become. After spending years accommodating partners and children, putting your own needs on the backburner, you eventually reach a point when you know you need to take better care of yourself and stop self-sacrificing. These days, choosing yourself is a radical act of self-compassion, yet it is an essential task on your journey to self-actualization - being the person your soul designed you to be. Getting off the hamster wheel of life by taking a sabbatical can give you a new lease on life and help you connect with your passion and your true purpose in this lifetime. C.K Collins did just that! She walked the Camino de Santiago and found herself. In this episode she shares about her book: The Swipe Right Effect: The Power to get Unstuck and her exciting MOMENTUM program. C.K.
