Life will present us with many opportunities to lose and
discover our balance. To find our balance
there must be clarity, focus and strength. To lose our balance is to allow the emotional
aspects of life to throw us into a tailspin. When we allow emotions to dominate
our mind the life force gets scattered and the body gets weak. Balance brings
with it clarity of mind and a strong and healthy body. When body, mind and soul
are in perfect balance we have perfect health. Emotions always muddy the
clarity of the mind and cause us to lose
our balance. For example if you lose your patience with someone you might
become angry. Anger throws us into a tailspin and this tailspin causes us to be
scattered and unbalanced. You then become an unbalanced angry person. That’s
your karma! Your life becomes scattered, decisions are more difficult and
problems don’t get solved. But in this
there is a lesson. When deep emotions
come into your life, such as anger, life calls upon you to observe and own your
anger, rather than blaming everyone and everything for your anguish. Each
lesson in life gives you a choice. Observe and remain balanced or buy into the
emotion and become scattered and weak. Patience is what is required when emotions
arise. It is said for the friendship of two the patience of one is required.
When you practice patience over anger you change your karma and when you change
your karma you get closer to nirvana. It all begins with balance, flexibility
and strength. Let’s get started.
Karma yoga reminds us to stay centered and grounded no
matter what life hands us. It also means to not go to extremes. It means to
walk the middle road. This means to not identify with anything – remain detached
and then come back to the present moment and see what needs to be done to
recover your balance and find peace. Balance means to detach, remain still and let
life flow as it will, but never be indifferent to all that is happening around
you and within you.

souls meet
