Balance yourself for better spiritual energy<\/p>\n
By Tishy Bruce<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): July and the beginning of August was a time when
\nIndonesia was at a crucial point in its history: could it
\nmaintain its equilibrium or would it over-balance into economic
\nand political chaos?<\/p>\n
Indonesia reached some of its bleakest, most depressing
\nmoments during that period. Indonesia has survived. The 55th
\nbirthday celebrations helped, of course. But there has been a
\nlack of balance. So far, Indonesia and its people can and have
\nfaced the energy of chaos head on.<\/p>\n
I feel that despite dreadful events in individual areas of
\nIndonesia most people still want change without violence,
\nrecrimination and revenge: the vision, the hope and the
\nexpectancy is still intact. Honing one's ability to balance is
\nimportant at this stage because balance helps one see beyond the
\nimmediate: the \"now\", and into the future.<\/p>\n
Balancing one's self allows one to step back and review
\nsituations with more impartiality and greater tolerance of other
\npoints of view. Balanced outlooks will prevail more often if, as
\nan individual, one is balanced: that is a basic fact that
\nreflects the energy that we are. Assessments of potential
\nstressful situations such as office meetings, report deadlines,
\ntraffic jams, domestic problems, political and economic crises
\nand creative \"blocks\" become easier and less \"unsolvable\".<\/p>\n
Balance helps the \"flow\" of energy from one side of the brain
\nto the other: the logical and the intuitive. It helps the growth
\nof imagination. It allows the blend of the creative with the
\npractical and logical, and the manifestation (bringing into
\nbeing) of the duality of the two. It enables legislators and
\nthose in power to look beyond the immediate and see the longer-
\nterm effects of their individual inputs. It enables one, for
\nexample, to have greater compassion, greater wisdom and a greater
\nsense of responsibility.<\/p>\n
If one is balanced one can weigh the pros and cons of
\nparticular situations more easily. One can learn to respond
\nrather than react: an enormously useful skill. Balance also helps
\nyou to listen to your intuition more, thereby enabling the
\n\"correct\" path to be taken.<\/p>\n
However, as we all know, balance is not achieved overnight. It
\nis helpful to remember that balance is an energy - an emotional
\nand mental state. Like all energy, therefore, balance moves in
\nwaves.<\/p>\n
It might be useful to share some practical techniques that
\npeople can use in any situation to help restore and maintain
\nbalance.<\/p>\n
This balancing technique is based on the ancient symbol of the
\nlabyrinth. Although in many text books labyrinths and mazes are
\nsaid to be the same, in fact, they are not. The labyrinth is
\nbased on sacred geomancy and is often used as a spiritual tool.
\nAs such you might like to build one in your garden. It makes a
\nsuperb doodle to use while on the telephone or in any waiting
\nsituation, as \"walking\" along its \"paths\" knits the left and
\nright hemispheres of the brain; linking the logical, intellectual
\nleft brain with the intuitive, creative right brain.<\/p>\n
The best way to use the labyrinth is to walk its paths at
\nleast 10 times. You can walk the paths with your finger, or with
\na pen or pencil if you don't have a labyrinth in your garden. The
\nmore frequently you Walk\" its path, the more beneficial the
\neffect. A labyrinth is based on a precise set of rules. Take a
\npencil and try this:<\/p>\n
* Make a cross in the center of whatever you are drawing on.<\/p>\n
* At each corner of the result square-shape, place a dot.<\/p>\n
* Between each dot and each cross-end, draw a chevron (like a
\ncapital L).<\/p>\n
* From the top of the central cross, draw a line to the top of
\nthe first chevron between the cross and the corner dot.<\/p>\n
* From the left of center, draw lines connecting each left-
\nhand most point swinging round in a big arc to the right-hand
\npoints.<\/p>\n
You will end up with a series of these accompanying eight
\npictures.<\/p>\n
As mentioned above, this labyrinth should be followed with
\nyour finger at least 10 times to achieve the desired result.<\/p>\n
This exercise alone doubles your energy field, thereby opening
\nyou to receive higher-level vibrations -- a bonus health-wise.<\/p>\n
Although its effect is not as dramatic as the first technique,
\nanother exercise is to draw an elongated figure eight on its side
\n-- the infinity symbol.<\/p>\n
Another technique to expand the brain -- awakening the sense
\nof balance and its \"sister\" imagination -- which is also
\nexcellent for headaches, is to take the index finger of the right
\nhand and the 2nd finger (the longest) of the left hand and hold
\nthe finger-tips to your temples.<\/p>\n
Imagine a pulse of light going from one temple to the other
\ninside your brain. Slowly increase the speed of the pulse until
\nit is a fast zip of light. When the zip of light is zipping
\nbackwards and forwards really quickly start imagining the light
\nmaking a figure eight inside your brain -- the center of the
\nfigure eight being in the center of the brain.<\/p>\n
If the figure eight is too difficult to imagine, never mind.
\nDo this for a moment or two and then slow the light down. If you
\nare left-handed, reverse the fingertips - using the index anger
\nof the left hand and the 2nd finger of the right.<\/p>\n
As I have mentioned in my article The year 2000: Making the
\nchoice (The Jakarta Post April 5, 2000), the numerology of this
\nnew millennium indicates that balance and cooperation is vitally
\nimportant! Balance is not something to reserve for playtime:
\nbeing balanced is necessary for every moment of every day.<\/p>",
