At fifty you can no longer bear the constraints. You can’t stand the too-tight bra, the forced dinners with the sister-in-law who checks your dust in the corners, high heels and circumcising smiles. At fifty you have no desire to prove anything. You are what you are: the things you’ve done and the things you still want to do. If others like it, fine, otherwise, it’s the same. At fifty it doesn’t matter if you had children or not. You will be the mother anyway: of your mother, of your father, of an aunt left alone, of your dog or of a stray cat that you picked up from the street. And if all this is not there, you will be your own mother. Because over the years you will be taught to take care of a body that you finally love, becoming more and more imperfect only in the eyes of others. Who cares if half the closet is the wrong size? The important thing is that your back does not creak too much when you stand up. At fifty you want freedom. Free to say no, free to stay in your pajamas all Sunday, free to feel beautiful for yourself and not for others. Free to go it alone: those who love you will stay at your pace, those who don’t care about others, at theirs. You are free to sing loudly in the car even if people glare at you at traffic lights. You will have dreams like when you were in your twenties and you will ask every god for time to make them come true again. And now, just when you have eaten half of your life, in the hustle and bustle, you will find the desire to slowly taste the sugar and salt of the days that await you. -Irene Renei 📸 @milimukherjeephotography

AI can’t train your body (only you and your dedication/choices can do that) Tech can make life easier, but difficulties are the way you train your soul When YOU respect your body- your body will respect you back There’s no expiry date on transformation – quit the algo and get into the gym #52andthriving @suhan.khnofficial @transform_tsk
8/8/8 Lion’s Portal Today is an opportunity for attunement with your highest purpose as the gateway between the physical and spirit world is activated. Magic and manifestation is at its peak. Any and every day is an opportunity to tune in, but how marvellous to collectively activate the notion of magic. Someone once told me: you can choose your beliefs, so choose wisely. And I choose enchantment and the fantastical. In other words, full expansion and potential, more pragmatic terms for the pragmatists amongst us. My shamanic teacher @jaskbhatia shared some practises for this month: 1. Adopt a species- plant, seed, animals, baby 2. Write all the things that are blocking “the life of your dreams” and let them go… Put them in a flowing water or under tap water after burning them (after committing them to paper). Then bring in what you want to “manifest”; write it and place it in your Altar. Any time, within August, take it out and let it go (burn the paper) 3. Sit in meditation to increase your physical body’s ability to carry more Light 4. Meditate and Imagine that Golden Star Dust is entering your crown chakra 5. Start a Practice of Gratitude I wish you an abundance of everything that matters. MUH @jaynadesaimakeupandhair #52andthriving

I hope this post might offer hope or a light form of guidance. Every cancer journey is utterly unique and must be patient centric which means as individual as a finger print. I’m sharing a few of my learnings more as a prompt to help guide your cancer story, and how it will be written. Here’s the thing. Preventative measures are always better. Begin your healing and health journey BEFORE a diagnosis. Love, Lisa PS none of this information is meant to be a substitute for consulting medical professionals PPS you are loved Pictured : Dal lake from a trip to Kashmir

Used to travel a great deal. I mean constantly. Even filmed several travel and cultural shows over the years. And now my experience of seeing the world through wiser eyes demands a slower, more mindful pace. Just booking the tickets and seeing (or taking selfies in front of) the sights doesn’t often lead to an experience that engulfs you with the essence of a new place. Put another way, hectic itineraries don’t risk the astonishments of discovery- both of the land and of yourself. In ticking travel sights off your list, you may not notice the small things that are both exotic and universal. Which is really all I’m about today at 52. The frenetic travel plans are behind me. Reflecting back on years of wandering the world, I wonder what remains. What are the impressions left in my heart and mind that form the bedrock of sweet memory. And I can honestly say, it’s been the places where I explored deep, not wide. Yet another reason to love/live your age.

Thanks @luke_coutinho and Team for nominating me to be a #SleepAngel What’s a Sleep Angel? Someone who understands Sleep is GOLD, chooses to create awareness and encourages family, friends and many others to embrace the power of RESTORATIVE REST Let’s unite to create a conversation on why SLEEP is the most under rated healing tool available to you, to value your sleep and encourage others across India to #sleepdeeper I love my sleep but I don’t always get the best quality of rest. I’m guilty of staying on my devices too late and using Netflix instead of a soothing bedtime ritual to ease me into bed. Thanks @luke_coutinho for a fab sleep hamper with tools to help coax me to drift off without the iPad. Like the best Sleep Easy Essential Oils, some sweet, soothing camomile tea from Dancing Leaf, a conscious breathing Relaxator Trainer (this is new to me! Have to do a test run) and some sleep tape. You know how lack of sleep makes you grumpy, hazy and unfocused all day? Imagine if everyone got a deep, great night’s rest? I dare say the world would be a happier place. Rest well! #SleepDeeperIndia @luke_coutinho

#Repost @animamundiherbals ・・・ At a fundamental level, all humans are made of particles that vibrate at specific frequencies 🔉 Our bodies, composed of atoms and molecules, resonate with the frequencies of Nature. The vibrations of our cells are influenced by external factors like light and sound waves…☀️🎶 Scientific studies have shown that every cell in our body emits and responds to electromagnetic fields (EMFs). This means that we are constantly interacting with the frequencies of the universe, from the gentle hum of our planet’s magnetic field to the rhythmic cycles of the Moon 🌏🌙 Even more fascinating is the concept of ‘biophotonics’, which suggests that our cells communicate using light particles, further linking our biological processes with the cosmic energies!!✨ Our biochemical ‘garments’ are fine-tuned instruments that help our souls express their true essence, creating a unique ‘music’ that is as individual as our DNA🧬 Share this post with someone who needs a reminder that we’re all just slowed down sound and light waves. A walking bundle of frequencies. Divinely connected👁️♥️ #frequency #energy #animamundi #animamundiherbals #Universe #conciousness
During the recent Hyundai India Couture Week, @lisaraniray walking the ramp was a pleasant surprise. The OG of the modelling world was resplendent in a Rahul Mishra creation, making heads turn and how! Besides being a fashion icon, she’s also a traveller. And for Indigo inflight magazine’s Hello 6E magazine, she let us in on her itinerary for Loire Valley, one of France’s most charming destinations. Thank you for the lovely interview, Lisa! ♥️ To many more! @indigo.6e
