A healthy balance....? Our way to peace...

'You're living in the express lane!'
Said a wonderful and wise healer.....

After blogging only once since last September my world has felt like an express lane! The fast forward button was hit!
My partner proposed, we moved the LifePod to our gorgeous new studio, we moved house to Palm Beach, we're planning a wedding, our son turned three and the wheels of everyday life keep a rollin!
I've been asking myself, "have I really been so busy that I couldn't find the time to write a blog? Have I just been making excuses??

If the truth be told, it's a bit of both.

So, how do we find the balance? How do we do it all? Is this even possible or just some expectation of our time... I certainly feel the desire, the pressure, the inspiration to have it all... family, business, success, detachment, inner peace, love and eventually a healthy harmony of it all and time to write my blog!

How many balls can we juggle, are we taking multitasking to a whole new level?
What is going on!?!

At times i feel like I'm addicted to the chaos, the bustle, the to do list that is a mile long, the washing, the cooking, the shopping, my yoga, the lunches that need to be made the bills that must be paid, the carpet that needs to be vacuumed, the dishes, the time to meditate, read, send emails, phone calls, classes, meetings..........ahhhhhhh!!!!!

I can't see the forest for the trees!

I take a deep breath in and know the answer to all of this.... a resounding, loud inner wisdom says..

Keep it simple...
Be thankful, gracious and compassionate...

Relax, breathe, go with the flow, surrender, don't sweat the small stuff!! Stay present and know that there is always a deep connection to self that can nourish, energize and allows us to live calmly within the chaos.
This is our gift, this is the ultimate benefit of a yoga practice and a life dedicated to truly knowing oneself. It's all within us, in every moment.

So yes, I have felt ridiculously busy recently, ( like many of you I'm sure).... I have in many ways been giving out too much and not taking care of myself the way that I know I can. But all experiences lead to the next and i see that life is that wonderful tapestry that ultimately creates an artwork of perfection.

We can relax and fall back into the arms of life and take comfort in the knowing that in the centre of our craziest times there is the eye of the storm, there is the jewel in the lotus, there is peace.

I see this each day in my son, the sparkle of living in each moment, the delight in having no judgments or expectations, no to do lists. He really is my talisman.

I am finding the balance......
I am feeling the peace.....
Right there in that smile.... xx
