Week One

Welcome to your first lesson on your brand new journey!!

The first theory we are going to embody is the philosophy of balance. Why? Because we are starting at the beginning and if you start a new journey on unstable ground, the stones are likely to fall out from under your feet. But, if we clear the path before we get to the tough part, at least we'll have a stable path while we climb.

Balance; to make something equal -

Balance should be required in all areas of life. I say SHOULD be a requirement because it doesn't seem to be a thing -- if we stop to think about how often we hear balance I can recall it in reference to diet "have a blanced diet..." and a banking account. Hardly do we hear we should have balance in our time, balance in our love life, balance in how we play, balance in how we give and receive.

When we are out of balance in any of these areas, we feel it! It radiates and penetrates everything -- do we label it as imbalance, unlikely -- usually its "i havent been sleeping well." "I've need a holiday." "We never have sex."

When we are out of balance, EVERYTHING is out of balance.

Balance is not a process, but a way of life. If you want to welcome balance back in your life, you must seek balance.

So, if you say, "I'm not sleeping well." this translates to: my sleep and wake cycle is way out of balance -

solution: instill some good before bed habits - such as, turning off electronics hours before bed, no eating hours before bed, begin a ritual to unwind yourself and shut things down before heading to bed, sleep in a room free of electronics and preferably dark.

If your sleep is lacking, set yourself up for success, the same way you would as if your diet or check book needed balancing.

If you're life is out of balance, the only way to bring it back in to balance is to choose from the desire for balanced living. No matter what part of life you are choosing from. The first step is to choose to bring things back in to balance -

This week, while go through the mantras, open life to welcoming balance as your first step.

“I breathe in love, I breathe out love.”

It is as important that we welcome the breathing in of love, as readily as we focus on the breathing out of love. This balance of give and take of the frequency of love begs us to be conscious of how we interact with others. Observe the tiny reactions in your system when you say the words, "breathe in love." If there is resistance, ask yourself why breathing in love finds to be difficult? Dig deep and then ask yourself if the fear of love is necessary?

JOURNAL REFLECTION: 

Knowing our choices reside in fear or love, how often do you choose love? 

EXERCISE : BREATHE 

Morning, noon, night : BREATHE. When you wake, before your feet hit the floor, open your eyes and take a deep breath in, and a super deep breath out. Do this twice more, thank the Universe for another beautiful day and THEN put those feet on the floor. From here, throughout your day, each moment you find yourself in ask yourself if you're breathing. If you aren't, breathe.
