A Second Childhood Later in Life, What Does that Mean to You?
Living your best life later in life ~ Personal Growth

I had a challenging childhood but a more stable teenage life. But by then, all the family patterns and world beliefs were ingrained. I had already been through many traumas and otherworldly or paranormal events with what I call Multidimensional Beings (more about that here).
But let’s move on; Currently, I am shifting into what I can only describe as childlike ease, keen intellect, quiet mind, still emotions, high intuition, profound wisdom, and joy in experiencing the simple things of life. Granted, none of those descriptors remind you of children but let me give you some examples.
I have this wonderful wooded trail right behind my house, even a lake nearby.

I can go out of my front door and walk on this wooded trail. It is like a paradise for me.
Suddenly I become the wizard-child Merlin lost in feelings and sensations of nature, the joy of connecting with all that is around me. I did study alchemy with a French master and had a lab in the basement of my Colorado home.
The trail follows a riverway filled with life, for example, beautiful egrets (herons), birds of all kinds, turtles, squirrels, butterflies, wildflowers, and trees. My mind is keen, my intuition high as euphoria rises. I begin to get all kinds of ideas, and I feel creative, magical, and playful. What happened? I allowed the energy of the environment around me to help me let go of my noisy ego-self. Now in this clear space, my quiet natural state has risen, which is open and receptive to fundamental creation energy that is high-vibration, wise, and joyful.
Another thing I have finally been able to do is not let the world into my secret space, my inner sanctuary. I relish the Hermit in me. Like a child, I can find many ways to entertain myself with my imagination.
But this secret space has come from decades of mindfulness and meditation. From detaching and letting go of the need to push against what is and learning to allow, be still, and let the natural flow of Spirit work things out. By trusting in a Higher-Self, as a child trusts its parents, I am not fearful about the present or the future.
When we don't live in fear, our natural generosity comes to the surface, and we readily share ourselves with family and friends, creating more profound levels of love.
Spirit once told me in a dream that the last part of my life will be the best part of my life. For a long time, I walked the path, not seeing the reality of that statement. But now, those words are beginning to come true.
I stand at the gateway of something new, and that is an exciting and liberating feeling. I trust in the unknown, for only when I step into the unknown do I find the Universe is benevolent, that I am loved and guided, and that it is okay to be happy and innocent again.
