00:00Does growing older truly mean that we must accept physical decline, fatigue and
00:05a body that breaks down? Or could it be that this idea of aging is simply a
00:10belief, a mental program we've absorbed from society without question? Today we
00:16embark on a powerful exploration that may shift how you view your own body, your
00:21vitality and your very relationship with life itself. This is not a casual
00:26conversation or shallow motivation. This is a transformative understanding drawn
00:31from the direct experiences of enlightened individuals who lived what
00:35they taught. This is not something you merely listen to, it's something you live,
00:39something you feel, something that reshapes you from the inside out. As you
00:44engage with this you may begin to discover that even an aging body can
00:48regain youth, not through supplements or medical interventions, not through
00:52miracle herbs or anti-aging creams, but through something much deeper. The real
00:57path to regeneration begins within, and what you are about to hear is an
01:01invitation to open that inner doorway. If you're here it isn't random, some call it
01:07fate, some call it resonance. But one thing is true, the wisdom we're ready for
01:13often finds us exactly when we're prepared to receive it. If you're someone who not
01:17only wants to hear the words, but truly absorb their essence, stay with this
01:22journey until the end. You may encounter something that doesn't just inspire you,
01:26but fundamentally changes your relationship with time, energy and aging
01:31itself. Now let us dive into this mystery. Why does old age come at all? Is it an
01:39unavoidable consequence of being human? Or is it a false belief that we've carried in
01:44our minds and bodies since we were children? Think back to when you were
01:47young and saw an elderly person. You might have believed they were always that
01:51way, and that one day you too would become frail and tired. But as you began
01:56aging you may have started noticing subtle changes, less energy, slower recovery, mood
02:02shifts, and slowly you accepted the idea that you were becoming old. But is this
02:07acceptance rooted in truth, or is it just a habit of thought that begins in the
02:11mind long before it shows up in the body? The body is not the origin of aging. The
02:17mind is. When the mind begins to say things like, I'm not as fast as I used to
02:22be, or I need more rest these days, the body simply obeys. The body in essence
02:28follows the instructions given to it by the mind and the consciousness behind it.
02:32Have you ever met someone in their seventies who walks with energy, whose eyes
02:37sparkle with life and whose presence feels light and joyful? At the same time
02:42you've probably seen people in their forties or fifties who seem perpetually
02:46tired and drained. The difference is not just physical, it is energetic. It lies in
02:52the consciousness. The moment the mind accepts that it is old, the body begins to
02:58conform to that belief. But the moment the inner voice says, I am more than this body,
03:03the spell of aging starts to lift. Old age is not an unchangeable truth. It is a kind
03:09of slow hypnotism passed down by society, rooted in fear and misunderstanding. From
03:15all directions we hear things like, you're getting old now, or, do you think you're
03:20still young? And we start to believe it, not realizing we are internalizing a script that
03:25was never ours to begin with. But those who have transcended this illusion have shown us
03:30another way. When you realize you are not the body, that you are consciousness expressing
03:36through the body, the relationship flips. You no longer obey the body, the body begins
03:42to obey you. You can instruct it. Be vibrant. Be alert. Be filled with energy. That's not
03:49to say the body won't go through changes over time. Of course it will. But how you live through
03:55those changes, how consciously and how willingly you engage with them, determines whether you
04:00age with grace and energy or fall into decline.
04:05Real youth is not about smooth skin or toned muscles. It is a state of inner energy, clarity
04:11and vitality. It's a relationship with life that remains fresh. Old age begins the moment
04:17we stop living fully, when we only relive memories and stop creating new moments. But those who see
04:23every moment as a new beginning, who greet each day like a blooming flower, never grow old. Life
04:30is not static. Life is alive. And true aliveness has no age. Here's where the deeper understanding
04:38begins. The body does not act on its own. It mirrors the consciousness that drives it. Just
04:44as a shadow only changes when the light source moves, the body responds when our internal awareness
04:50shifts. If your consciousness becomes heavy with sorrow, anxiety or fear, the body reflects
04:56that. But if your inner world is luminous and alive, the body becomes charged with that same
05:02vitality. This is not some abstract spiritual idea. It is a living reality. Think about when
05:08you've been in love. Deep, soul-stirring love. Or when you were inspired by something beautiful.
05:15In those moments, didn't your body feel weightless? Didn't your eyes light up and your movements
05:20become effortless? That's not imagination. That's energy. That's consciousness affecting the physical
05:27world. This isn't about denying the reality of aging. It's about changing our relationship to it.
05:33The physical form will change with time. But your inner vitality, your pranic energy, your soul-driven
05:39fire, can grow stronger with age if properly nurtured. Your body listens to your mind. Your mind listens
05:46to your consciousness. And consciousness is who you really are. Throughout his life, one enlightened soul
05:53demonstrated this truth, not through words, but through his radiant presence. His face carried the glow
05:59of peace and strength. His walk was steady and calm, even in advanced age. His vitality didn't wane. It
06:06deepened, like a river flowing within a purpose. That presence was not due to genetics or luck,
06:12but to deep inner alignment. The body, he taught, is not just biology. It is a living experiment,
06:19shaped moment by moment by thoughts, emotions, and awareness. When you fill your being with the belief
06:25that you are strong, vibrant, and alive, your body responds in kind. But if you keep repeating
06:31thoughts like, I'm tired, I'm getting old, or I don't have the energy, your body listens
06:37and complies. The mind commands, and the body executes. But even deeper than the mind is
06:43consciousness. And when consciousness is awake, when it knows its true nature, it brings life
06:49back into the system. This is the heart of the path. Awaken to your inner power, and watch how the body
06:55transforms. It begins to release stagnation. It recovers from illness faster, and it gains a new
07:02lightness. Aging as we know it becomes optional, not in the physical sense, but in how we experience
07:08and express it. So can we awaken this deeper consciousness? Can we truly reprogram the body,
07:14and reverse the inner signs of aging? The answer is yes. And the key lies in the ancient practices of
07:21meditation, breath work, and inner stillness. These are not superstitions. They are tools,
07:28technologies of life. Through deep meditation, one learns to pull attention inward, away from the
07:35distractions of time, noise, and physical identification. With every breath taken consciously,
07:41with every silent moment of inner observation, you begin to return to the source of energy that
07:46sustains you. Not energy from food or rest, but energy from awareness itself. When we sit in stillness
07:53and draw our awareness inward, we are not just closing our eyes. We are stepping into the deepest
07:59chamber of our being. And from that place where there is no ticking clock and no concept of age, a new
08:05vitality is born. The weight of the body lessens. The stories of limitation begin to dissolve. And in their place,
08:13we touch a part of ourselves that is eternal. Some teachers have shared meditative techniques that do
08:19more than calm the mind. They energize the body at its root. Through methods of conscious breathing,
08:25where each breath becomes a carrier of life force, one can reawaken the body's dormant energy centers.
08:32These centers are real, and when activated, they unleash a freshness that transforms even an old and weary body.
08:38In truth, the body doesn't age because time passes. It becomes tired because the flow of life energy gets blocked.
08:46But when the channels of energy are clear, when the awareness is sharp and the breath is alive,
08:51the body feels renewed. It becomes light again, strong again. The secret lies not in resisting aging,
08:59but in understanding it as a signal, a pointer toward greater inner alignment. If your consciousness is rooted
09:06in peace, in clarity and in purpose, your body will reflect that. But if it is full of fear,
09:12distraction and stress, the body will begin to decline. And so the journey of staying young,
09:18spiritually, emotionally and even physically, is not a medical one. It is a journey of awareness.
09:24It's about awakening awareness, shining that light so deeply inside that even the physical body starts to glow.
09:32As the inner radiance grows, it begins to reflect on the outside too. This isn't poetry or metaphor.
09:39It's a lived truth. But true meditation is far more than simply closing your eyes. It's a revolution within.
09:47It's the conscious decision to identify not with the body, but with the soul. To recognize that you are not just a shadow of your past.
09:56Your true essence is boundless energy. When this realization rises from within, the body naturally responds.
10:04It surrenders. It bows. It even starts to feel younger, lighter. But now comes the question. Can just anyone access this energy?
10:14Can an everyday person tap into this divine force? The answer is yes. Without a doubt.
10:22This isn't some privilege granted to a chosen few. It's not the secret property of spiritual elites.
10:28Anyone who listens to the voice within, who dares to ask their tired body,
10:33are you truly exhausted or just convinced that you are, is capable of awakening it.
10:39Now let's turn to the example of a master. How did someone like Paramahansa Yogananda embody this meditation in daily life?
10:47How did he stay youthful, energized, vibrant, even in his final moments?
10:53His life wasn't that of a conventional mystic. He didn't perform flashy miracles or pretend to live above the world.
11:00He was a spiritual traveler, a seeker, who turned inward, using his body as the vehicle for that sacred journey.
11:09His daily rhythm carried no laziness, yet no strain. He rose during the spiritual hours of dawn, when everything is still,
11:17when the veil between the physical and the soul becomes the thinnest.
11:22At that sacred hour, he would sit in silence. Not in a rush, not in struggle, but in pure, effortless stillness.
11:31His eyes remained closed, but within, the sun rose. And when he emerged from that silence, his face radiated a light that others could see.
11:40It wasn't emotional illusion. It was real, perceptible energy. People who met him said their own fatigue lifted.
11:49Their minds softened. Peace would settle into their bones. But that serenity wasn't confined to his spirit. It extended through his body.
11:59He walked with grace, not weakness. His voice carried kindness, not resignation. His face looked beyond time itself. Those who met him couldn't guess his age.
12:10This wasn't magic. It was the impact of steady spiritual discipline. He had trained his mind. He had disciplined his thoughts. He had built a relationship with his body.
12:21He understood that the body listens. It responds. He respected it, but didn't worship it. He nurtured it, not as a master, but as a servant of the soul.
12:31He never indulged in food for taste alone, nor did he starve himself for penance.
12:37He ate consciously, choosing foods that energized, not dulled. His body stayed light, free from burdens that might interfere with meditation.
12:45Every decision, every emotion, every action served a single purpose, to deepen his connection to awareness.
12:53He never allowed tiredness to define him. He once said, if the mind feels tired, the body will agree. But if the soul declares, I am ageless, eternal, the body will follow that rhythm.
13:05These weren't just words. This was his lived reality. When others came into his presence, they felt a shift. Some felt younger, some lighter.
13:15His very smile seemed to carry healing. Worry would melt. Clarity would arise. His energy was transformative.
13:22But again, was this only possible for Yogananda? He himself said no.
13:28I am simply what I am, he explained. And you can become what you truly are, too. My body is not a divine gift. It's the result of inner practice.
13:39So, how can we invite that same depth into our own lives? His greatest key was the understanding of life force, what he called prana.
13:48He believed breath is more than oxygen. It's life energy. And if you learn to guide it, you can challenge the process of aging.
13:56According to him, the body doesn't have to grow old. It simply loses energy and weakens when that energy is not replenished.
14:04His first practice was what he called conscious breathing. But this wasn't some complex yogic posture. It was profoundly simple.
14:13Inhale deeply, with the feeling that the universal life force is flowing into you. Then exhale slowly, releasing tension, stress, and fatigue.
14:24He believed this wasn't just physical. It was mental.
14:28Deep breathing, he taught, fills not only the lungs, but also quiets the mind. When the mind clears, the body receives a fresh spark of vitality.
14:38His second practice was entering deep inner silence during meditation. But he didn't try to force thoughts away. He encouraged you to let the mind get tired, like a child who eventually settles into sleep.
14:50Stay in peace long enough, and the mental noise fades. In that stillness, energy flows freely, into your eyes, your face, your walk, and your entire being.
15:01The third practice was speaking to the self. Yogananda would often affirm inwardly, I am not this body. I am pure light. I am the soul.
15:11These weren't empty affirmations. They echoed from deep reservoirs of awareness. Repeating such truths, he believed, taught the body to accept them as reality.
15:21The body, he said, is like a child. Criticize it, and it gets sick. Speak gently, and it begins to flourish.
15:29And finally, the fourth key was unconditional love. Yogananda loved, but never clung. He honored all beings, yet held no attachments. He would smile at everyone, but needed nothing from anyone.
15:43He often said, to hold onto anything is to drain your energy. But if you love and let go, that love becomes your strength. With these four practices, breath, silence, self-affirmation, and detached love, he transcended time.
16:00His consciousness became radiant, flowing through every cell. And this wasn't theoretical. He lived it. His life was the evidence. Can we do this too?
16:11According to Yogananda, yes. But only if we commit, not just to listening, but to practicing daily. Age then won't define us. Our bodies will start to follow the rhythm of the soul, not slowing down, but renewing daily, like the rising sun.
16:28The next question becomes, how do we apply these practices in our modern, fast-paced lives? How do we live this way without leaving our jobs, homes, or responsibilities?
16:38We live in urgency. We live in urgency. From the moment the alarm rings, we rush. We fear being late. We fear falling behind. But Yogananda's voice echoes through this modern madness. Pause, breathe, return to the center.
16:52Because unless you connect to your inner world, nothing external will ever feel complete.
16:57He never asked people to retreat to a monastery. He urged them to bring meditation into their homes, their bedrooms, their busy lives. His first advice? Change how you start your morning.
17:08He said, the direction of your entire day is determined in the moment you wake up. When you open your eyes, don't reach for your phone. Don't jump into stress. Instead, take a breath and affirm, today, by divine grace, I will live with full awareness. That single sentence can transform your day.
17:27Then, sit for just three quiet minutes. Watch your breath. Notice your thoughts. Don't try to fix or force. Just witness. This simple pause gives you strength to stay centered, even amid the chaos.
17:41His second tip? Turn eating into a spiritual ritual. He reminded people that food is more than taste, it's energy. Your body reads every emotion during eating. If you eat while angry or distracted, the body becomes confused. So, before every meal, pause for two minutes. Look at your food. Recognize the power of the earth, the sun, the rain within it. Then, eat slowly, peacefully. This tiny habit restores vitality more than any supplement.
18:10Third, take a moment each day for soul dialogue. It doesn't matter where. At work, in your car, at home. Close your eyes briefly and say, I am not a machine. I am light. My soul is boundless. My body is the vessel of awareness. It may seem small, but over time it reprograms the subconscious. Even science now acknowledges that repeated affirmations influence our biology, our very DNA.
18:38Lastly, embrace the sacred silence of the night. Before bed, reflect, not to judge, but to observe. Where were you centered today? Where did you lose balance? Then breathe deeply and whisper to your body, now it's time to rest, to renew, to grow young again.
18:56Yogananda believed, night time is a sacred window for the body's restoration. Add a little awareness to it, and sleep becomes rejuvenation, not just recovery.
19:06If you apply these four shifts to your life, morning intention, conscious eating, inner dialogue, and nightly reflection, no obstacle of time, place, or situation can block your path.
19:18Then slowly, you'll begin to sense a living awareness within you, an energy that feels like it never grows tired, never fades, and wakes up renewed every morning.
19:29It's not a dream. It's a state of being. And the most profound truth is, this journey isn't something to chase outside of yourself. It's not for others to see or approve of. It's an inward path, meant only for your own awakening.
19:44We're about to step into a deeper understanding, something the great spiritual teacher once described as the doorway to the inner voyage.
19:53It's the moment where the body is no longer just flesh and blood. It becomes a divine mechanism, and the soul begins to lovingly operate that vessel.
20:03When a sage like him says, the body doesn't truly age, but our awareness gets tired, he's pointing toward a hidden truth.
20:10This body is a creation of nature, yes, but the one animating it, the self, is capable of remaining young, renewed, and alive in every moment.
20:20If that inner awareness stays fresh, the body often follows.
20:24But this transformation isn't just about food or workouts. It's about a return inward, a secret doorway, a shift in how we relate to our senses.
20:34In this exploration, we'll learn a hidden form of meditation, a method the sage called the gateway to sensory withdrawal, or pratyahara.
20:44All day long, our life force flows outward, through our eyes, ears, skin, taste, and breath.
20:50This constant outward pull weakens us. Every time we react to what we see or hear, whether it's attraction or rejection, our energy scatters.
20:58And staying youthful, in truth, isn't just about muscle or posture. It's about how well we manage that energy leaking through the senses.
21:07So the first step is to reverse that direction, starting with sound.
21:12Each evening, before going to bed, simply sit still and listen.
21:16Don't try to label anything. Don't judge. Just hear the sounds around you.
21:21And then slowly shift your focus inward. Can you detect the breath, the heartbeat, a faint, subtle rhythm, like a drop falling in a quiet cave?
21:33As you remain in this listening, doing absolutely nothing else, you'll find that simple hearing transforms into a state of deep meditation.
21:42This is the beginning, drawing the sense of hearing back inward.
21:45The second practice is the stillness of sight.
21:49Our eyes constantly chase the world, seeking beauty, approval, comparison, or familiarity.
21:56But when you consciously close your eyes, and imagine your vision turning around, not moving outward but inward, it activates something powerful.
22:05Imagine a thread of energy pulling back from your eyes into the center of your brain.
22:10There, in the middle, the place where subconscious thoughts emerge. Just rest.
22:15Don't force it. Just be still, and invite calm.
22:20While it may sound simple, this internal turning of sight revives the energy within.
22:25When we withdraw our gaze like this, it begins to awaken an ancient part of the brain, which science calls the pineal gland,
22:33and which ancient wisdom traditions identify as the third eye or agnya chakra.
22:38Now, the third practice, it's the mindful memory of touch.
22:42When you touch anything, your shirt, a wall, the hand of someone you care for, pause and truly feel it.
22:49Don't rush. Don't let it become automatic.
22:52That kind of intentional conscious touch awakens something primal.
22:55A fresh current of life begins to stir in the body.
22:59Dormant cells light up.
23:01Hidden circuits reactivate.
23:03The same spiritual master once said,
23:05As you grow more conscious of your body from within, it begins to regenerate.
23:10This isn't a metaphor.
23:12It's a living truth.
23:13The fourth practice is the breath's inward journey.
23:17Just three times a day, stop whatever you're doing and take three slow, deep breaths.
23:22And as you exhale, say softly inside, I am becoming new.
23:27Don't just speak the words.
23:29Feel them.
23:30Let your breath carry out every fear, every worry, every trace of fatigue.
23:36In return, allow each inhale to fill you with renewal.
23:41When practiced daily, these four inner rituals begin to rewire the subtle structure of your body.
23:47You'll notice it.
23:48A clearer glow in your skin.
23:50A deeper calm in your eyes.
23:53A graceful lightness in your step.
23:55Deeper rest.
23:56And mornings that feel more alive.
23:59But this path doesn't stop here.
24:01There is a deeper doorway.
24:04When your senses turn fully inward, something extraordinary begins to happen.
24:09The soul begins to make contact with the body in a new way.
24:12And that connection between spirit and flesh is what truly transforms us.
24:17What does it mean for the soul to touch the body?
24:20What does that feel like?
24:22That's the next stage of this journey.
24:24Because the body only changes when the soul gently reaches it.
24:28And the soul can only reach the body when we enter deep silence.
24:31Not silence of the room, but silence inside.
24:35No craving.
24:36No chasing.
24:37No resisting.
24:38Just stillness.
24:39Just stillness.
24:40Just surrender.
24:43Think about those moments in life, when grief hits so deeply, or when love feels overwhelming.
24:49Have you ever noticed what the body does?
24:51It stills.
24:53The breath softens.
24:54The eyes stop moving.
24:56Something inside begins to melt.
24:59That moment is your soul coming closer.
25:01And when you rest in that deep silence, the body starts to speak.
25:05Not in words, but through feelings, through release, through energy.
25:10So begin to practice this, even if just once today.
25:14Sit down.
25:15No need for technique.
25:17No need for guided sessions or goals.
25:20Just sit and feel.
25:23Place your palms gently over your belly.
25:26Close your eyes.
25:27And in your mind, begin to speak to your body.
25:31Like you would speak to someone who's been by your side forever.
25:35Say something like, I see you.
25:36I know you're tired.
25:38I know how much you've carried.
25:39But now I'm here.
25:41I'm not leaving you anymore.
25:42Practice this for just two minutes a day.
25:45This gentle conversation unlocks something extraordinary.
25:48Because your body is not a machine.
25:50It's a living, breathing witness.
25:52It has been with you since before you had words.
25:54It has endured your joys, your pains, your disappointments.
25:59But most of the time you never acknowledged it.
26:01You pushed it.
26:02You demanded from it.
26:04But you didn't speak to it.
26:06Not with love.
26:07And the very first time you say thank you, the inner energy shifts.
26:11Healing begins.
26:13That master once said,
26:14A seeker who ignores the body will never reach the soul's doorstep.
26:18Because the soul doesn't bypass the body.
26:21It works through it.
26:22The body is the sacred home of your soul.
26:25It is your temple.
26:27One morning when you wake up,
26:29Place your hand gently on your heart and whisper,
26:31I know you are here.
26:32I'm ready to listen to you.
26:34And then, just be quiet.
26:37No words.
26:38Only presence.
26:40Only silence.
26:42The body may begin to tremble from deep within.
26:45At times, tears might quietly fill your eyes.
26:48Occasionally, your chest could feel a strange sense of stillness,
26:52Almost as if it has gone numb.
26:54You might notice a gentle buzzing or humming sensation in your head.
26:58These are all responses from the body itself.
27:01Observe them closely.
27:02Gradually, the body will begin to quiet down.
27:05That inner numbness will begin to fade away.
27:08The unsettled energy inside will start to calm.
27:10And then, perhaps for the very first time,
27:14The body will slip into a true state of rest.
27:17This is the threshold of renewal.
27:19A gateway to healing.
27:21Now, you are ready to begin a new inner experiment.
27:25When the breath becomes calm,
27:27Either before you fall asleep or during a quiet moment,
27:30Imagine something beautiful.
27:32A soft golden light rising from your heart
27:35And gently spreading through your entire body.
27:38Let it fill your arms, your legs, your face, your eyes.
27:43Feel how this golden light transforms into love,
27:47Touching each part of your body.
27:49Don't try to control it.
27:51Just observe.
27:52Watch where it flows easily,
27:54And where it hesitates.
27:56Wherever it stops,
27:58That's where your body holds pain,
28:00Stress, fatigue,
28:01Or the weight of old traumas.
28:03Send love to those places.
28:05Not words.
28:06Just pure feeling.
28:08You'll begin to sense a living force within you,
28:11Healing you from the inside out.
28:13This isn't fantasy.
28:15This is a living science.
28:17Paramahansa Yogananda taught that
28:19When your awareness lovingly embraces the body,
28:22Healing begins at the deepest level,
28:24Right down to your DNA.
28:26Modern science is now beginning to confirm what ancient wisdom has always known.
28:31The body can renew itself.
28:33But it needs the right environment.
28:36It needs calm.
28:37Not fear.
28:39Not urgency.
28:40Not neglect.
28:41The body is like a tree.
28:43It can sprout new leaves from within.
28:45But you must nourish its roots with love.
28:48Give it the soil of stillness,
28:50The sunlight of mindfulness.
28:52As you progress on this inner path,
28:54Your energy begins to rebuild.
28:56But this transformation can only reach completion when your thoughts also become allies of your body.
29:03Paramahansa Yogananda often said that your body is a reflection of your thoughts.
29:08The way you think becomes the way your cells, your tissues, and your inner energy behave.
29:14Every thought you repeat throughout the day imprints itself on your body.
29:17And these effects aren't only emotional or psychological.
29:21They manifest physically.
29:23If you keep saying,
29:25I'm tired,
29:25You'll find that your body begins to feel truly exhausted.
29:29If you repeatedly think,
29:31Nothing excites me anymore,
29:32Your body begins to shut down emotionally.
29:35And if you constantly believe,
29:37I'm getting old,
29:38Your body starts moving in that direction.
29:41But here's the secret.
29:42Just as negative thoughts shape the body,
29:45So do positive ones.
29:46This is the science Yogananda referred to as the Ayurveda of the mind.
29:51If each morning your mind tells your body,
29:54I am new,
29:54I am fresh,
29:55I am full of the energy of life,
29:58The body,
29:59Over time,
30:00Starts to believe it.
30:01Why?
30:02Because there is no wall between the mind and the body.
30:05They speak the same language.
30:07The body listens carefully to what the mind repeats.
30:10Try this simple practice.
30:12Each morning,
30:13As you wake,
30:14Before any other thoughts arise,
30:15Tell yourself,
30:17My body is becoming new today.
30:19Every cell is growing younger.
30:21I am made of light.
30:23I am made of love.
30:24I am made of awareness.
30:26This isn't just a mantra.
30:28It's a signal to the body.
30:30A direction.
30:30A command.
30:32You're telling your system to regenerate,
30:34Not retreat.
30:36And throughout the day,
30:36Whenever you feel fatigue creeping in,
30:39Pause for a moment.
30:40Sit down.
30:42Close your eyes.
30:43Repeat to yourself,
30:45Fatigue is an illusion.
30:47My energy is infinite.
30:50Slowly,
30:51The body begins to reject the lie
30:53And align itself with the truth.
30:55People often ask,
30:56I try to think positively,
30:57But my body still doesn't change.
30:59Why?
31:00The answer is,
31:01Your thoughts may be hollow,
31:03Lacking emotion.
31:04If you say,
31:05I am youthful,
31:07But inside you're filled with fear,
31:09Complaints or disbelief,
31:10The body sees through the falsehood
31:12And doesn't accept it.
31:13But if one day you truly smile,
31:16Dance and genuinely feel,
31:17I am alive and vibrant,
31:19Your body welcomes that truth.
31:21This is where the real transformation begins,
31:24When you speak from the heart,
31:26Not the head.
31:26Now each day becomes a chance
31:29To give your body
31:29A sacred bath of thoughts.
31:32Try this.
31:34Before your morning shower,
31:35Fill a small bowl with water.
31:37Place your hands in it and say,
31:39O life,
31:40Renew every part of me,
31:42My thoughts,
31:43My words,
31:43My vision.
31:45Let it all be refreshed.
31:47Then,
31:48Bathe with that water,
31:50Not just physically,
31:51But with the awareness
31:52That you are creating a new self.
31:54Throughout the day,
31:55Watch your language.
31:56Never say,
31:56I am too old now.
31:58Or,
31:58I do not have the strength anymore.
32:00Or,
32:01There is nothing left for me in life.
32:03These words carry more weight than years.
32:06They age the body faster than time ever could.
32:09Paramahansa Yogananda once said,
32:11That a person begins to grow old,
32:13The moment they stop seeing life with wonder.
32:16So make it your daily practice to see something new.
32:19Think something new.
32:20Feel something new.
32:22A new flower.
32:23A new idea.
32:24A new breath.
32:25This is the real secret of staying young.
32:29You've touched your body with awareness.
32:32You've embraced silence.
32:34You've practiced love.
32:35Now comes the most powerful step.
32:38Changing your thoughts.
32:38Changing your thoughts.
32:39Because your thoughts are what direct the future of your body.
32:42The next and final step of this journey will show you how to bind all these practices together into a seamless lifestyle.
32:50When your body, mind and soul unite in a rhythm of renewal, transformation becomes effortless.
32:57You've now realized your body is not a machine, but a living temple of awareness.
33:02When you honor it with rest, fill it with silence, and align your thoughts in support of it.
33:08It responds with new life.
33:11Paramahansa Yogananda emphasized that the key to true living is the harmony between body, mind, and soul.
33:19Understand this.
33:21Rejuvenation isn't just about strength or glowing skin.
33:25It's about freshness, awareness, and inner joy across all aspects of life.
33:30It's a philosophy.
33:32A way of being.
33:33A quiet revolution from within.
33:35So, begin your day with a simple ritual.
33:39As you wake, thank your body.
33:42Embrace every cell.
33:43Love every part of yourself.
33:45And carry that love into your smallest actions throughout the day,
33:49whether it's the way you breathe, eat, walk, or think.
33:53The next essential step is to make meditation a daily habit.
33:58Meditation is the bridge that brings you closer to your soul.
34:01When you sit in silence, you feel the layers of your body deeply.
34:05You begin to release the hidden tension, fatigue, and wounds within.
34:10These moments become your body's time for true repair.
34:14But meditation is not just a technique.
34:16It's a deep state of presence.
34:18A connection to each moment.
34:20When you hold this awareness throughout the day,
34:22not only your body, but your mind also stays youthful, free, and alive.
34:27Now understand this final truth.
34:29The greatest secret of rejuvenation is acceptance.
34:33When you fully accept your flaws, your age, your limits, with compassion,
34:38your body relaxes.
34:40The inner resistance fades.
34:42Energy starts to flow again.
34:44From this acceptance arises a new power,
34:47stronger than any youth serum or anti-aging treatment.
34:50Try this small practice every night before sleep.
34:53Take a journey through your body.
34:55Feel every part without judgment.
34:58Acknowledge its strength.
34:59Sense its fatigue.
35:01And gently whisper,
35:02I accept you.
35:04I love you.
35:05I revive you.
35:06As you do this daily,
35:09your experience of your body will change.
35:12You're not just renewing your body,
35:13you're reshaping your life.
35:15Remember,
35:16rejuvenation isn't a final goal.
35:19It's a continuous path.
35:21Each day is a fresh chance,
35:23a new sunrise,
35:24a new life.
35:25When you live with this awareness,
35:27age becomes just a number,
35:29just an experience,
35:30just a story.
35:31Your body and mind remain forever young.
35:35Through this understanding,
35:37Paramahansa Yogananda's teachings
35:38reveal to us
35:40that it is indeed possible
35:41to renew the body,
35:43reawaken the spirit,
35:44and relight the joy of life.
35:47This wisdom already exists within you,
35:50in your consciousness,
35:51in your breath,
35:52in your very being.
35:54And so,
35:55this journey does not end here.
35:57In fact,
35:58it begins anew,
36:00every day,
36:00every breath,
36:01every choice.
36:02The rebirth of your body
36:03mind and soul
36:04continues eternally unfolding
36:06from within.
