Living in a Beautifully Balanced way is about stability and fluidity.
Stability:
By establishing a deep sense of feeling safe and secure, nourished and protected, we enable ourselves to behave with a calm assertiveness. Thereare occasions when we revert to an automatic flight-fight-freeze response and, when in this state, if we operate from insecurity, then we'll find it difficult to let go of that initial response. This is when tension and tightness build up in the body and mind.
By using a range of techniques to maintain an inner state of stability we give ourselves the opportunity to observe any fight-fight-freeze response for what it is, to let it go and then focus our attention on using a calm assertive response. We are able to regain and nurture a loving energy to flow freely through our words and actions towards ourselves, others and the world around us.

Fluidity:
Being aware of the signs of becoming off balance and having a range of strategies to bring ourselves 'back on track', enables us to prevent any build-up of tension and tightness. We have to know that being 'on track' is fluid, not rigid. It's a constant fluctuation between heading towards 'too much' or 'too little', which only becomes problematic when we get stuck at either extreme. When in balance, we are free to live in harmony with ourselves (our thought, feelings, and experiences), others and the world around us. |
