to sit quietly.....still expect for my breathing.

One of the recurring themes of my life seems to be seeking balance too. A friend of mine whose life also seems to be changing a great deal at the moment recently wrote: "Move to the centre of the wheel where you won't feel the spinning so much..." which I can identify with :-)

I seek balance by ensuring I do some of the things that enhance my sense of self definition, so I focus on my intrinsic self to counteract all the rushing around and external focus we tend to have in our busy daily lives. For me the important things are meditation, esoteric reading and study, dance, writing and creating. Study of kabbalah is great for taking the concept of balance to a new level too :-) If I find I'm not doing enough of these sorts of things I waver in my sense of balance and I'm getting better at realising this and sorting it out quicker. Ah, life's little challenges...
