Find Your Balance

It seems like such a simple thing, balance. It sounds like an important thing to have and we all want balance but yet, it may be more elusive than we realize. One of the things my guides often have to remind me to do is to find my balance. Sure enough, if I check in with my chakra system, I can literally sense the imbalance. Things are leaning heavily to one side, chakras are blocked, you name it. This can be a surprise to see but really if we think about our busy, frequently hectic schedules and the demands we place on ourselves we can begin to see how we can quickly become imbalanced.

What causes this is stress, worry, fear, overactivity, poor diet, negative thinking, lack of self-direction as in doing what you feel others want you to and many other issues. Anything that leaves you feeling overextended or out of sorts is an imbalance. Finding your balance is all about honoring what feels right to you. Maybe you have to work a little less or play a little more. Maybe it’s about getting more exercise or sleep. It can be about how you think, such as worry thoughts or racing mind. If you have trouble with boundaries you may be allowing others to crowd you, to take more than you can give.

Remember you are in control, even though in life it may seem otherwise, it is you who determines how you react to things. One of the most common ways that we throw ourselves out of balance is by letting ourselves react in a negative way to someone else’s negativity. It can be tempting, someone cuts you off in traffic, someone is rude to you, someone you are close to is short tempered. All of these things can make us feel anger, upset, we may be very tempted to lash out, yet that isn’t going to help the matter and it is certainly going to cause you to fall out of balance.

Instead, reach within, to your center, some people are drawn to their midsection, others to their heart, wherever just go there. Feel yourself seated, in the present moment, allow any upset to fade, focus on being here, now. It may help to ground yourself, focusing on your feet, visioning them having roots that run deep down into our mother earth. Now, allow your vision to go back up to your core, see the light there, watch the light expand outward, into the space around you, you are covered by it. This light also extends up, to your higher self, your guides, and the divine. Let this all mingle in your center, let all of this become your present reality.

This is how you become balanced once more. We are all constantly bombarded with energy, other peoples thoughts, actions, our own thoughts, and actions, and it’s normal to become out of whack as a result. If we are able to have the dexterity, we can regain our balance, and then things fall into a space of ease. We can move more fluidly through our life as a result. Find your balance and do it often, this will help you align with your soul, your path and your highest potential. Namaste.
