You can ask – Why this book? What is so special about the complexities of dating, especially after 50? What is your WHY? 

Well… first of all, this theme – relationships – has always been in the main radar of Dr. Kagan’s HealingArts™ while being a therapist, a spiritual counselor, energy healer, even a healing artist. It’s always been important and meaningful for her to help people heal and learn to navigate their relationships successfully. And also, because one day Helen found herself in the same like “fish out of water” predicament, right in the middle of the vortex of all possible emotions and feelings related to being 50+ and alone after divorce… right there – in this uneasy volatile place not really understanding what to do and how to navigate on this new journey, trying to heal the wounds of a crazy marriage and following bad divorce, and because she has the firsthand experience searching for her “one and only”, her Soulmate, to develop meaningful loving caring respectful relationship. Definitely not easy in any age, but obviously – it’s not getting easier after 50…

This is when she finally decided to write her “50 Is The New 30!” – to help others to better understand themselves, to better understand the sacred process of relationships, and how to find and keep your “one and only”, especially in this sensitive age. Dr. Kagan is blending her professional knowledge as a psychotherapist, spiritual counselor, energy healer, and healing artist with the innovating holistic concepts, and sharing her personal experience, as well as illustrating each Chapter with corresponding case vignettes of various couples on their respective love journeys.

In this book we offer an unconventional synergistic approach of blending a Chakra System with your relationships Journey. We explore how the relationships develop based on each Chakra’s well-being; your relationship with your family, with your significant other(s), your friends and colleagues, and most importantly, your relationship with yourself. And… how they are intertwined with the very functioning of your balanced Energy Centers – your Chakras. And, of course, how YOU can create new and/or improve your existing love relationships when you know at least a couple healing energy-based things about them.

This book is a synergistic part of Dr. Kagan’s HealingArts™ continuum. Helen just can’t live without creating and inventing something totally new, unconventional, intriguing yet very doable and relatable, something on the edge of Science and Divine Guidance, something coming as a result of what she calls Holistic Intelligence™. Yes, this book is a product of this something new, unusual, outside the proverbial box, maybe even outside of your “comfort zone”, something people can experience firsthand – see, read, listen and feel inspired, feel elevated, feel like everything is possible! So, in this new book, Dr. Kagan is integrating the ancient concept and philosophy of the Chakra System with the notion of How to find your “Happily thereafter” after 50. Interesting? Yes. Innovative? Yes. Unusual? Yes! Useful? Definitely, yes!
