I have been thinking a lot about balance, and what one can do to balance the mind and body. I started thinking about that more now that I have a two year old. Life is definitely busier!
I recently went to a meditation night and noticed how little quite I get, and how refreshed I felt after just a few hours of "me" time. I use to get a similar reaction from a yoga class or a good run but lately that hasn't been enough.
We often do a lot for body maintance like eating well, exercising, massage, stretching, and yoga. We exercise our mind with work and projects.
What has been missing for me is relaxing the mind, giving it a little time out, enabling myself to de clutter so that I can attune myself and feel balanced through out the day.
I am going to start meditating and setting clear intentions and we will see where this journey takes me.
I offer you a link to a meditation I am going to try tonight.
