Finding your spirit



Finding my sense of Balance




In a world where there is so much turmoil... so many demands on us..our time..our body...our health & our minds, its essential that we learn to take time out. Time out to recharge our emotional & physical batteries... Renew our energy levels. I want to talk about what makes me tick & how i recharge my energy levels.... How I become balanced....

As I have said before I am a multifaceted person. I have an aspect of myself that is highly intellectual... rational and sequential... I like a sense of order... of knowing my parameters.... However juxtaposed .... I also have an aspect of my person that is highly free spirited.... could live in a world of long flowing hair, flowers & dreaming. Live in a world or creative, passionate & creative being.....

I am a very visual person.... highly sensual....that is my senses are heightened and it has been like that always.... which is usually a good thing... I smell the tiniest scent of the newly budding spring flowers... I delight in the feeling of the cool breeze as it caresses my skin.... My ears are attuned to the sounds of the wind chimes & birds..... my taste buds explode when I bite into a ripe piece of fruit...strawberries.... peaches.... are like gifts from the heavens...


I am lost in those moments of pure sensual bliss. The feel of soft fabrics against my skin...satins, silks, linens & softly spun wool.... all small glimpses of heaven.....


However.. my heightened sensitivities, also make be highly susceptible to having things irritate me.... I can't stand the sound of static.... it makes my skin crawl... or the feel of hard prickly arcyrlic fabrics as they brush against my skin... it hurts.... or the incredible pungent smells of strong detergents that make me gasp for air...

I do allow myself to get upset.... to feel...to express... I have personal space... SO on a day when I may have a million things to do...kids might be sick.... & all I have heard is crying...smelled vomit... my reserves of energy may be low. I may be tired from being up all night with my daughter.... or I may have laid unable to sleep because I am too busy solving the worlds problems inside my head..... I am sensitive & feel others pains.... stress & frustrations.... coupled with my own... it may make me struggle to fall asleep.

So what is it that I do to find balance...a sense of inner calm... an even keel......

I do many micro meditations throughout the day....... I find moment of stillness .... of being.... Of connecting with the divine life & energy source.

I ground myself.... I focus my energies..... my heart..spirit...body rejoice in Sunsets...Sunrises...the beach..Water...sweet sweet water....


I try to ground myself in the vast Abundance of nature that surrounds me.... the trees, the birds, the flowers, the air....


I love using twitter & faceBook. I chat, I giggle & I share...... I connect with a growing number of like minded people.... people who inspire & challenge me.... people with whom I find a connective consciousness....


I get down & play with the kids....... delight in kisses & cuddles...in laughter & joy


I eat well..... I drink sufficient water...... I nurture my body..... I love me.... I value me....


I try to be active... I need to work on this aspect...I love exercise..... I love the way it makes me feel....

I write....I draw....I sing...I dance.....I laugh... I create ... I express myself...purging negative energy.... I let it flow... I find joy in music...comedy laughter....



I don't forget where I came from.... but I don't let it limit me to where I can go....

  1. How could it be explained better? Sleepless nights for me,especially when I was teaching, were like watching a slide show on high speed in my head...each troubled student or my own family problems flicking by one by one. I would have given anything for someone to pull shut the screen to a blank wall to let me sleep. Lorna
