Are You Imbalanced? *Most* of Us Are.

Balance has been on my mind a lot the past month. As an idea, a theme, and a practice. I, like many people, often view the world through "black and white" thinking. Things are good or bad, right or wrong, hard or easy. But the truth I've come to learn is that most of life and our experiences live in the grey. The in-between. The both/and. It's all so much messier than my control-seeking brain wants to believe. 

In my meditation & energy training over the years, I've come to understand that this way of being also shows up in our brain and body. We have two distinct (seemingly opposite) sides/hemispheres of the brain: The left brain is connected to our logical, analytical, and verbal thinking while the right brain is connected to our visual, intuitive, and creative thinking. 

There is a similar dynamic on the energetic side of things. We have our masculine energy which is all about doing (logic and reason) and our feminine energy which is all about being (receiving and allowing). 

But just like in the rest of life, this isn't about one versus the other. Neither is better or worse. Both sides of our brains and our energies have so much to offer us. They are meant to work together to support us through all of the experiences in our lives.

Life is not all about doing, nor is it all about being. We get to flow back and forth between these states many, many times a day. But so often, we get stuck in one. And usually, that one is the left brain/masculine doing energy. It's what society programs us to do!

So if we know that a balanced use of our brains and our energy is the best setup for a fulfilling, creative, healthy life then working on finding that balance seems pretty important, yes? I think so too. 

Luckily, we can use meditation and energy work to restore those balances in our bodies and minds. And that will be the focus of next month's FREE Group Meditation and Healing on Tuesday, May 3rd from 5-6 pm PT. Join me and our virtual community for a guided meditation and energy healing to help find the balance in your body and life!
