BALANCE AND IMBALANCE

October 22, 2020

SUMMARY:

The dialogue between “I” and “I AM” explores the concept of mission and purpose in life. “I” reflects on how mission is often perceived as an external mandate and purpose as a duty. “I AM” argues that life is a continuous oscillation, and mission and purpose are part of the same existence. It emphasizes that life is a constant dance, and balance does not imply immobility but the ability to nurture the center through movement. It highlights that the axis is the “I AM,” and the key to balance lies in understanding who you are and finding coherence in all life experiences.

QUOTE:

“The axis, the true axis that maintains the balance of all things, is to remember who you are, to know that you are, that you exist.”

EXERCISES:

1. Inner Dance Meditation:

• Find a quiet space where you can move freely.

• Close your eyes and start moving to the rhythm of your own breath. Let your body move intuitively, without worrying about coordination or technique.

• Connect with the sensation of your body in motion. Feel how your internal energies flow through each movement.

• As you move, reflect on the areas of your life that you feel are imbalanced. Which aspects need more attention and harmonization?

• After a while, stop and sit in silence. Observe how you feel and what insights you have gained about your inner balance.

2. Spiral Meditation:

• Imagine a spiral in constant motion. Visualize it as a symbol of life in constant evolution and change.

• Close your eyes and focus on the center of the spiral. With each inhalation, feel yourself getting closer to the center, and with each exhalation, feel yourself moving away.

• As you do this, reflect on the areas of your life where you feel you are in imbalance or constant motion.

• With each cycle of breath, try to find a point of balance and calm in those areas.

• Continue the exercise for a few minutes and observe how you feel at the end of the meditation.

3. Self-Reflection Meditation:

• Sit in a quiet and comfortable place. Close your eyes and focus on your breath.

• Ask yourself, “Who am I?” Let this question resonate in your mind without seeking an immediate answer.

• As thoughts and emotions arise, observe them without judgment and let them pass like clouds in the sky.

• Continue repeating the question and allow reflections about your true identity to emerge.

• At the end of the meditation, take note of any insights or feelings you have experienced.
