Sacred Balance

Sacred Balance is about finding your inner light. The world out there is chaos, distractions, and deep rabbit hole labyrinths, that pull you in. You find yourself drained of energy because these are things out of your control. Now more than ever, is the time to step back from helplessness, and consciously move forward in light and power.

Like the Alchemists of old, we must be the magicians who turn the rocks of life into pure gold. Luckily, there are steps to follow to come back to ourselves. This is the inner journey to rediscover what really matters to us, to shift our focus, and to mindfully set a new course of action.

First of all meditation, stream of consciousness writing, or at lease quiet time, tells the Universe you are ready to nurture your Self. Some find this in jounaling, working with flowers, or cooking from scratch. Others feel exercise, yoga, or dancing is the way. Of course creativity, making art, painting, sculpting, crafting are wonderful ways to pull away from the world out there, and form a sanctuary for listening. Look for something that takes you away from ‘thinking’, and into the realm of ‘listening’ for whispers of inspiration.

I enter my sacred temple of creation, otherwise known as my studio, my personal space to imagine, create, and grow. Each morning begins with stream of consciousness writing. When it came to balance, I wrote all about ravens and rabbits. They are my Above and Below, flying free and being grounded, as well as my inner spirit guides and outer physical companions in the neighborhood.

Secondly, create a ritual for yourself to get into the feeling of exploring the unknown. Unwrapping a new canvas, setting out my tools, pastel pencils, favorite brushes, and palette create a place for new creativity. It’s an exciting time.

Ritual must involve your favorite things and immerse all the senses. Light a candle, burn some incense, play instrumental music, wear your favorite clothes and jewelry to create a warm, peaceful mood. Making a cup of tea or coffee, as well as consciously eating wonderful chocolate, are fantastic rituals to begin a path of discovery.

My painting above, Sacred Balance, became exciting as I realized the background for the critters needed to be a Circle within the Square, the symbol long known to be Spirit within the Body. Then the magic number 7 appeared as the total number of ravens and rabbits, forming a Triangle within spirit. Sacred Geometry would lead our eyes to the Source, the flowing wisdom of Light.

Sacred Balance is doing the Great Work.

Thirdly, you must be the maker, the creator of a new way. Move the energy, your focus and attention, to how you really choose to live. Realizing the chaos of the world is really your teacher, consciously transforms your focus and knowing as you learn what you really want in your life. See chaos as the dark that illuminates your Light. It is the Yin to your Yang. Now, consciously, with intent, create the future you desire. This is Transformation, Alchemy, at its highest level.

I found myself filled with a lightness of being, a bright happiness at realizing and seeing the world in a new way. I’ve discovered my Sacred Balance, my Light within, as well as a way to live, flow, and flourish.

So, discover the wisdom that dreams your future into Being. In quiet time listen for answers, create your personal rituals to feel the energy, and be the Magician, manifesting magic with your conscious choices and Sacred Balance.
