Question

A participant is looking for insight regarding her relationship with her parents as they age.

Answer

For when you look upon your lifetime, just as it has been expressed, age is that expression of time, that expression of moment and time. Age is that expression of time. Age is that expression of time, that expression of moment after moment. Now, how do you perceive that? How in your existence do you perceive that? Is there a bit of fear within that perception? Is there a bit of challenge within that? See, it isn’t to look upon parents or friends or anyone else that you have a relationship as they begin to age in front of you, that they are any different, that there is something that, there’s something that needs to be changed, that there needs to be something to make them young again. For the human body itself has to cycle through this aspect of existence, birth and death, that is the cycle. But all in between, no matter how old or how young, it is what do you hold in your heart? What of those moments, what of those segments of time, what of those precious experiences do you hold in your heart? How many of them do you hold there? And you can take reflection throughout your life and take an inventory of sorts, snapshots of that life, and begin to paint a beautiful tapestry of their existence.

Then, how do you support that? How do you move forward and assist with that? It is not only for you to cherish those moments, but it is also for you to share those moments, to elicit those memories. If you wish to see those young expressions again, that expression of the inner child, share those memories. This is for all to understand that everyone whether you have a parent or a friend or an acquaintance that is aging, this isn’t to allow them to age quietly and just drift off into transition. It is to bring forth those memories of what they’ve done and who they are and what they’ve experienced so they can tell the stories. See, the stories are snapshots of time. This is why it is important to understand time and how you can work within it. And it is sharing your experiences with them, the snapshots of time. This changes the dynamic. This changes the energetic synchronization between you and those around you. So, yes, that is how you can find yourself in a place of assistance and fulfilling your understanding of this. It isn’t to just allow it to quietly continue, but it is to bring back those memories that allows the youth to come forward once again.
