We started this week in a state of balance, the Fall Equnoix.
🍂
However, it is important to remember that the equinox is just a moment. It's not a continuous reality. At the equinox we experience a moment of balance between light and dark.

If you practice Season Keeping or are simply paying attention, you may notice the cyclical, ever changing nature of our material existence...AKA the world around and within us.
Everything is always changing. Which means (and this is really important to remember!) balance is a process.
⚖️
What helps us move toward balance on any given day, may not be the same thing we'll need on another day. What helps us stay balanced in the summer isn't the same thing that helps us stay balanced in the fall.
🧡
Our consumer driven culture tries to sell us this myth that we can achieve some perfect state of balance (if we'd just buy that latest app or follow some program). But the truth of life is that balance is an ongoing process. Moving in the direction of balance is an ever shifting practice.
⏳️
The fact is: We can't achieve perfect, lasting balance.
What you can do: is learn to move through the flow of change with more intention.
⚡️
So we ask ourselves:
• What is real now?
• What food, clothing, exercise, habit, sleep rhythm, activity, breath work, meditation, etc, will help me move in the direction of balance today?
• What will help me move in the direction of balance in this season?
☯️
But how? You may ask...
It is important to start slowly. Choose one area of your life. Look at what's real. Ask yourself: what will help me move toward balance in this moment? And then choose one thing (and only one thing) to experiment with for awhile. Notice what happens. And then choose another thing. Like I said, it's an ongoing practice.

We will explore more ideas on how to move towards balance in the coming fall/ winter season during the
💚Living Well Through Ayurveda & Yoga Workshop.💚
