Living a life in balance
In my own journey, I have found that one of the most difficult areas with
which to stay consistent, is caring for myself at multiple levels. Like every
other human, I am an ever changing, ever-evolving being. As I grown and
learn, expanding in my sense of self, my complexity increases. There is simply
more of me to take care of. As I continue to develop mentally, physically,
emotionally and spiritually, I move beyond survival where my concerns are food
and shelter, and begin to be concerned with my emotional clarity, my cognitive
stimulation, my physical well-being, as well as my spiritual development.
My relationships, my work, and my creative expression all take on new
definition and depth as I awaken to the knowledge that these parts of my life
are the sacred manifesting. Each of these areas requires time, attention and
energy to grow. Each of these aspects of me is seeking the opportunity to
evolve.
More and more of my life is about releasing the desire for simplicity and
embracing the complexity of being a soul in physical form. I realize, at ever
deepening levels, that this inner diversity is the key to accepting the
complexity of the outer world; a world so rich and diverse in its’
manifestation. Expressing from these multiple parts or myself, caring for
them, and cherishing them are the processes of transformation.
In light of this, I have found that the easiest way for me to stop my growth
is to stop caring for my own complexity; my own inner diversity. As I ignore
any part, become over muscled in one area and atrophied in another, I
short-circuit my ability to embody a more expansive knowing of who and what I
am.
In the end, the journey of spiritual awakening is all about ever increasing
spheres of love and compassion.; the ever increasing embrace of self as it
recognizes itself in many forms. For me, the process becomes more personal
than looking outside myself and saying, “I know in my core I am one with all
things”. The process for me is also looking within and saying, “My oneness
is also expressed in accepting and nurturing the multi-faceted nature of my
own being. I am one with all parts of my being”.
My soul is manifesting as my body, as my creativity, as my thoughts, as my
relationships, as my cognitive awareness, as my play, as my dreams, as my
perceptions. For me, caring for self, and exploring myself and all that is
required to live in balance, is the key to transformation.
