Question: About loss of strength and ways to regain vitality. After reaching the age of 95, my grandmother used to say that she had lost all her strength. My mother is now complaining about a lack of strength as well. She is turning 90 soon. I was in the hospital with peritonitis, sepsis, etc. And I also had no strength when I was 26. Many other people complain about a lack of energy at different ages. What could cause a lack of strength and how can it be restored?
Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2025 New Year Webinar
This is a very wide-ranging topic, because there can be many causes for the lack of strength. I cannot give you a thorough answer to it. There can be physical causes, where the body has an infection, it has, for example, cancer, or it does not have the necessary nutrients. Many people eat a diet where they do not get enough nutrients to really feed the body, and as they grow older, the body is simply malnourished. They may still be overweight, but the body is malnourished in terms of vitamins and minerals, and enzymes and so on. This can be a physical cause of it.
But there can also be an emotional, mental, identity level cause, where people, as they grow older, they either build more and more subconscious selves, or they reinforce certain subconscious selves. And so much of their energy is absorbed by these selves, that the energy does not reach the physical body. But even at the emotional level, you can have a lack of strength, because the energy that comes into the emotional body is absorbed by these selves. In order to uphold the self, it takes energy. The stronger the self, the more energy it takes. You can have a mental fatigue, where most of people’s energy that comes from the identity realm is absorbed by these selves, and they do not feel that they have the energy, the vitality to even think. And you see many older people who cannot think clearly. You can have at the identity level, selves that absorb the energy that comes from the I AM Presence. You could say that: “What happens over time, as people grow older, is really described in Jesus’ parable about the talents, where to him that has, more shall be added, and who has not, that which he has shall be taken away”
Your I AM Presence is releasing energy to you. What are you meant to do with it? Well, you are meant to be co-creative, work on your psychology, seek to help other people, bring forth something positive. Many older people stop doing any of this. They just become self-focused, self-centered, living their daily lives without doing anything that reaches beyond themselves. And this can cause the stream of energy from the I AM Presence to be reduced. There simply is not as much energy flowing into the four lower bodies. You have both the absorption of what comes in, and the reduction of the amount that comes in. And naturally, people do not have the strength, the vitality to do anything. And this can become a self-reinforcing spiral. Now, to some degree, you could say that this is a grace, because some people are making karma, and by reducing the energy, the I AM Presence is reducing the karma, since it is not likely that the person is going to change for the rest of this lifetime.
So there are various reasons for it. What can you do to regain strength? Well, first of all, you need to do what you need to do with a physical body. See if there is a disease that takes your strength. See if the body is lacking vitamins, minerals. But beyond that, you can, and I know this is our universal answer, work on the psychology, work on the subconscious selves, the emotional and mental and identity levels that are absorbing the energy coming from the I AM Presence before it becomes physical.
This, of course, is not going to help an older generation who are not spiritually interested and not willing to do this. And you see many people from the older generations who are not willing to even consider that they could work on their psychology. But for those who are willing, this is certainly something you can do. And you can say that either way, how can you lose? The more you resolve psychology, the better you feel about yourself, the more at peace you feel. And the more you resolve psychology, the more clarity you might get about what to do with the physical body.
