Energy balancing

Gee, I've not been on here in ages ...

Just a quick entry for now.

Talking about energy can have different effects on people. It might intrigue you, it could turn you off. It can be labelled as "esoteric" or "spiritual." Some folks like to get all scientific about it, talking about vibrational rates, fields -- even quantum physics. Others go for "alternative health speak" such as chakras, meridians, channels, reflex zones etc.

So, what does it mean when I talk about "balancing your energy?" I believe the simplest and most immediate way to convey this is with the concepts of "being yourself" or "coming home." If you're being yourself, you're being truthful and you're acting naturally -- "going with the flow of the world." You're not excruciatingly torn in two about whether to take those few extra hours of sleep you've been meaning to catch up on, or whether to go to your friend's party. Such dilemmas may be there, but that's all - they're just "there." You're accepting of them and you have an inner conviction that you either know now what's right for you to do, or you will when the time comes for a decision to be required. It's no big deal. You're not holding your breath, raising your shoulders, clenching your fists, tightening your belly about it all in stress. Things are as they are. Life is good, whatever comes. You're "comfortable in yourself" -- AND you're in touch with the world outside, as it is. There's no hardness, no real conflict.

There may be deeper interpretations of the expression "coming home," but for most people this is a phrase which has an immediate resonance. And now we're back to the "energy speak" ...
