January's Intention is Balance

Balance applies to our body, mind and emotions, to all levels of our being. It reminds us that anything we do, we can overdo or underdo. If the pendulum of our lives or habits swings too far to one side, it will inevitably swing to the other. You apply the Law of Balance by noticing your imbalances. Dan Millman




Look around you, the Laws of Balance operate naturally supporting the efficient running of the Universe.

Night and Day

Darkness and Light

Inhale and Exhale

Sunlight and Moonlight

Work and Rest

Hot and Cold

Life let's us know when we are out of balance and calls upon us to recentre ourselves. The challenge is that we must make the choice to do so. When we continue to live out of balance the consequences show up as illness, addictions, pain, and suffering in its many forms,

Balancing our lives takes practice, it takes stillness,  it demands that we pay attention to our bodies,  to our intuition,  to our divine guidance  which puts us in a better place live  a  harmonious life.

Anything is the extreme can have unhealthy effects (drinking, shopping, working, and on and on and on), my grandmother always said everything in moderation even  moderation. I heard that all the time growing up and it meant nothing to me except that it gave her a pass to eat whatever she wanted without gaining weight, to have fun and live the life that she wanted. As I grew older I recognised that she was saying not to overdo and go to the extreme with anything. 

Learning about balance also taught me that everything is temporary, while we experience highs in life, enjoy them in the moment. While we experience lows, this too will pass, take the lesson and use it for life's journey.

To understand and apply the laws of balance in your life will certainly assist in navigating how we experience the Journey.

And what is the great equalizer when we are out of balance? Love

Love centres us, Love of Self, Love of Community, Love of Life

The amount of love with which we allow our thoughts to be created and expressed is the key that balances our thoughts. It is also the key to listening as others share their thoughts with us. Anchored in love, we are able to listen to life's nudges without taking it personally.

Peace and Blessings

What is being of service? Looking upon another human being with kindness and compassion and not judgement is a profound act of service and though such a form of service lacks for whistles and bells, this expression of “service” comes from truly understanding the power of your soul and what it means to “look upon another with eyes of grace.” Carolyn Myss 1.

What Does Support Look Like to You?

Image
  You save yourself energy when you learn to ask people what they need, instead of assuming you know best then acting on your own impulses. Allowing people to define what support looks like gives you an ability to assess if you have the capacity to show up - Minaa B If someone asks you right now, what does support look like to you, what would be your answer? It takes self reflection , self awareness and more importantly a whole load of authenticity to answer. On the flip side, do you rush to support others without them even asking- there may be times when that is required, however many a time we assume that we know what others want and need. The times when we do assume, after a while a feeling of resentment builds because "how could they be so ungrateful?" or "why are they not seeing their need for my help?" the other classic is "they must need my help to show them because they clearly are not seeing that they need support" We continue to assume what othe

Sensible Optimism

Image
  Optimism is usually defined as a belief that things will go well. But that's incomplete. Sensible optimism is a belief that the odds are in your favor, and over time things will balance out to a good outcome even if what happens in between is filled with misery. And in fact you  know  it will be filled with misery. You can be optimistic that the long-term growth trajectory is up and to the right, but equally sure that the road between now and then is filled with landmines, and always will be. Those two things are not mutually exclusive." Who told us that all the roads on the Journey of life will be smooth and bump free? And even if you knew or remember who told you, why did you believe it given what you know? What if the blessing, what if the growth, what if the joy is found on the rocky bumpy road? What if? And if it is, we can rest easier that the bumps and rocky roads are designed with us in mind, designed for us to grow, to learn, to live a life that is filled with varie
