BALANCING SPHERES


balancing the spheres

of mind, body, and spirit

activating love


for optimal health and well being we need to activate, energize, and balance our energy "spheres" of mind, body, emotions, and spirit...this requires many daily practices, cultivating, nurturing, reinforcing, and growing our energy spheres to maximize our personal well being which, in turn, is paramount to activating our love energy in service of others.


consider one of the energy spheres (perhaps one you feel depleted in, or one that you are drawn toward): body, mind, emotions, or spirit...what simple 5 minute (or less) practice can you engage in today to cultivate/grow your energy in that sphere? e.g.'s:

body: 3 mindful breaths

mind: repeat aloud and/or write a positive affirmation 3 times (see Louise Hay for affirmations)

emotions: place your hand on your heart area and ask, what am i feeling, what message is being communicated, what am i being called to do (see Karla McLaren for understanding emotional messenges)

spirit: (meditate or pray for 5 mins--lots of resources here, e.g., Easwaren's passage meditation, Keating's centering prayer).

FLOATING TRIANGLES floating triangles surrounded by colored dots revealing the face dots create lines that make up triangles, that make up the star in the center of which is a face...our face, their face, nature's face, G's face...all are there hiding at center...distracted by the colorful dots and triangles of life, sometimes it's hard to catch a glimpse of the face at the center, to be aware of the awareness that makes it possible to see the face, to contemplate the face of all faces. how many triangles are in your life... people, issues, challenges, problems, things you need to do, beliefs, habits, titles, roles, beauties, things...STOP the outward gaze and look inward to see your own face in meditation...contemplate the face...see others in your face, nature in your face, the universe in your face, G in your face...

SLUGS & TAILS curvy colored slugs opening to feminine busy stinging tails have you seen the slimy, white, crystalline-like trails left behind by slugs making their way over the soil in a garden? look for the small slug-like creature near the middle of the image and trace the black path back to the stinging tail...the other colors are larger slugs with larger paths and multiple tails...the tails cover their backs, protecting them, their path is curvy, feminine like in their journey, they gather together at the top for a conference before traveling further. the practice for this image is to ask and ponder responses to the following questions:  what trails are we leaving behind for others to follow (our legacy)? how much of our time do we spending protecting our backs rather than moving forward (need for protection balanced with need to be present and to plan ahead) are we embracing the feminine curves of life on our journey-in Robert Johnson's book, "Lying with the Heavenly ...

EYEBALL  spinning circles surround thicker spinning circulars 1 eyeball starring its easy to get "caught up" in the larger spinning circles of life...inside of these larger circles are the thicker spinning circulars of needs, instincts, drives...they may not look bigger but they are thicker than the out spinning circles and the influence the activation and speed of the revolving larger circles...and at the center of it all is our eyeball, our awareness, the witness, the observer, our consciousness, always present. if we begin our day with conscious intent, choosing what's important to engage with for the day, we are operating from the realm of the eyeball, our power of attention to choose our course and destiny, this is the ideal place to begin from... if we are caught up in the ever pressing demands of the day, responding to one thing after another, putting out one fire after another, we are in a realm of reaction and we will feel stressed and eventually burn out... if w...
