Balance

24 September 2011

Close your eyes and feel your body become quiet.

Listen to your breath, feel the air fill your lungs.

Enriching the blood, flowing then outward to nourish

your body….legs, arms, hands, feet.

The chi flows in harmony throughout your body,

restoring the integrity of each molecule.

Another breath, slow, even, deep.

Feel the opposites in your body

Left, right;

Higher, lower;

Inward, outward;

Upward, downward.

Feel the breath, the chi,

flowing in all directions.

Blending, balancing, harmonizing…

Feel the balance,

Left with right;

Higher with lower;

Inward with outward;

Upward with downward.

In balance, there is

harmony of opposites;

blending of diversity;

peace among many.

More…

There is alchemy…

an alchemy that allows creation;

that enables us to be co-creators.

In humans, as in all of nature,

diversity is requisite for life and creation…

Right, left;

Upward, downward;

Breathing, exhaling;

Contemplation, action.

Balance teaches us to walk the middle path;

witness the opposites;

discern the uniqueness, the difference;

celebrate the diversity.

For therein lie the seeds of creation.

Breathe deeply, slowly, feel the chi, feel the vibration

Allow life to flow though you, unobstructed.

Our path is to clear the obstructions,

one at a time, with compassion for ones self

with loving kindness and patience.

Feel the opposites within your self.

hear the harmony created by the differences,

not in conflict, but rather to balance each other

to mix and blend.

The alchemy of life….

As in your body, so in life.

Extend now beyond your self

to touch the energy of others;

recognizing their difference;

realizing that difference, diversity, is essential

for the alchemy of life, to create, to live.

Allowing the blending,

retaining the integrity of self

while integrating the difference offered by another.

Expanding, growing,

finding the oneness that defines us all.

We are one.

Together, we bring balance to each other

And together, we create from the life force surging through our union.

Balance,

Harmony

Blending, mixing

Alchemy

Life

Chi

Difference and oneness

Oneness and Allness

All in balance, in peace,

Together, One
