Day 7 – Total Balance Is Natural Balance

 

Day 7 – Total Balance Is Natural Balance In these first few days together, we have realized we lighten our burdens by coming into balance. But even if we understand that balance is desirable, it will elude us if we approach balance with different parts of our life separately. Because all the pieces are interconnected, it’s better to “shed the weight” by looking at the whole mind-body system. Our aim is total balance. You can’t achieve this by struggle, effort, discipline, worry, or fighting with yourself. Total balance is achievable by going to a place of total balance – your true self. In meditation, you find your true self, and as you continue the practice, you identify with it more and more. In time, you discover that you were whole all along. Our centering thought for today is: My true self leads me to an inspired life. "The road to health for everyone is through moderation, harmony, and a sound mind in a sound body."   — Jostein Gaarder
