• Balance

  When I recently had a Reiki healing session, I was taught this writing exercise to search for balance.  What you do is vent, and in this case I'm using my last protected post, and then you pull out all the salient words (or phrases) and try to write out their opposites.  It's kind of like doing affirmations.

  oversleeping	morning vitality
  sloth	spark, clarity, relaxation
  couch	using floor (grounding)
  TV	reading
  problems: shoulder, neck, upper back	invitation to solutions, to activity, stretching, yoga, strength training, flexibility
  depressed	lighter
  disgusting	refreshing
  no motivation	inspiration, direction
  emptiness	blank slate, my life has beautiful bones
  embarrassment	security
  “should know better”	being human
  miserable life	precious life
  shack of a house	perfect house for me
  barely more than surviving	thankful for my life
  work is hell	work is refuge
  ashes	Phoenix
  can’t see a way out	acceptance
  distance	connection
  conflict	peace

  "Oh Divine Mother, Father, God, please take all of these states of mind which are imbalanced in this pattern and balance and clear them.  Do this so that I may see more clearly and find my way home more easily.  I give thanks knowing it will be done."
