Lesson 68: Balance for You

What does Balance feel like in your body?
Do you tend to operate on an even keel emotionally and/or physically. . . Or are you prone to a more dramatic, wide-range of experiences?
Are there ways you can easily identify when you're in balance and when you're thrown off?

Balance is an interesting word for me. I had a teacher who once said, you don't want balance. Balance is static. You want harmonization. I was very attached to that idea for a long time. Now, I feel softer about it, but I still like the idea of harmonization. There will be flux, ebb and flow.



Emotionally, I am more even than ever in my life. I know I could still become more even, but I do pretty well right now. 

In my body, balance feels like when I have an absence of symptoms. 

I'm feeling a little scattered in answering these questions today. I choose to be okay with that.

Lesson 17: Open to Transform

Image
Spend a moment examining any areas of your life where you've experienced a persistent struggle. I would say these areas include finances and body/consistent healthfulness.  Before I go to the next prompt in my course, I would like to restate the assertion I fell into in my last blog: The places where I'm stuck are places where multiple, conflicting thoughts/beliefs are fighting for the same place in my head.  Have you truly been willing to change? Obviously, in the places I've been stuck, no. Or did you perhaps want to change the circumstances without doing the internal work first? Mmmmm...I think it's more like, the fear or whatever is keeping me stuck, is at least as strong as the desire to change.  How would you describe your own Willingness to Change when it comes towards receiving greater wealth into your life? I believe I am willing to change now. Hence, doing this course. Is your emphasis more on changing circumstances and situations, or are you trul...

Lesson 21: Check In WEEK 3

Image
I notice I am having some resistance to this week. One of the days I really enjoyed the questions. The rest of the week, I've had a bit of an internal eye roll that says something like "I love change. God, leave me alone!"  Well, it could be this stubborn insistence is part of what keeps me from changing the parts of my life that feel stuck. Let me try these questions in a fresh light... How do you resist change and how do you embrace it? When I look back over my life, I definitely have experienced and embraced change. But, there are areas that I stubbornly hold onto. One example is my evening routine, which is not particularly healthy, productive, or positive. It mostly consists of numbing activities. It's like a stake in the ground of my life that I've been thus far unwilling to pull up. Why? Well, it feel nurturing and nourishing on some level. It was my experience as a youth when my family would spend time together, so there are emotional connections ...

Let's get real

Alright, time to get real... I have been doing network marketing for one month now. When I write that, I get some movement in my abdomen. I have come to a place in the last few days where I am questioning moving forward with this company, etc, etc, etc. I recognize this for what it is: My Resistance. My resistance is quite brilliant. It has conjured many very reasonable excuses for not moving forward. One excuse, for example, is the ingredients in these products are sometimes not up to the standards that I have held in the past for products I use internally or topically. This seems like a very good excuse. A very good one, right? Is this in alignment with my beliefs? Do I agree with this? I have turned away other products for the exact same reasons in the past, and so on. I laid down in a moment of exhaustion (from my brain circling, and also from just having done some pranayama that moved energy that I'm now wrestling) and put my hands together in prayer and asked my...
