If you are an older adult over 55, there is a good chance you wake up on a Monday morning with aching knees after an active weekend.

Not unusual at all. Fully 25% of adults over 55 have chronic knee pain and if you’re over 75, that percentage rises to 50%.

More and more of us older adults want to remain fit so we might engage in strenuous sports with gusto.

Only to pay the price the following morning.

So do you grab the Tylenol and down a couple with your coffee?

Or do you reach for a new device called Knee Mo (thekneemo.com)?

Well, after you listen to this week’s interview on The Art 2 Aging with one of the creators of Knee Mo, Jenny Hledik, PhD, you might never need Tylenol again!

If you are enjoying the content here on The Art 2 Aging, we would love you to become a paid subscriber. It really helps us to continue to generate meaningful information for older adults. Thanks very much!

This is the first of a new content stream on The Art 2 Aging, called Body and Soul.

Why? Because it’s time we all paid far more attention to our physical and spiritual selves.

James Adams, an instructor in meditation and breathing, will be offering you simple, short meditations on a regular basis.

Janine Agoglia, a yoga instructor, will also be creating yoga content just for us so watch for her yoga content coming soon!

And Wayne Lehrer, author and speaker, will contribute inspiring messages designed to help us find our center in a chaotic world.

Enjoy and be enlightened…

There is one thing that we humans everywhere have in common.

We all dream.

We daydream; we let our thoughts wander off without attempting to control them.

We dream at night when we sleep. Often, we don’t remember our dreams. Sometimes we don’t even realize that we have even dreamt at all.

But, one way or the other, we all dream.

Our guest this week on The Art 2 Aging is Robert Waggoner, author of the best selling book, Lucid Dreaming – Gateway to the Inner Self and his follow-up book, Lucid Dreaming, Plain and Simple.

Robert explains what lucid dreaming is and offers advice on how to trigger lucid dreams when we sleep.

But the real magic of lucid dreaming is what those dreams can tell us about ourselves, especially as we age.

It’s a remarkable conversation.
