We live on a planet of duality. We have a north and a south, a day and a night, male and female, past and future. It is only natural that people feel motivated to choose one over the other. It’s a subconscious, magnetic pull. They are either the night owl or the morning person, they dwell on the past or can’t wait for the future. The current culture and human behavior of the world is becoming more and more extreme. Just turn on the news, right? CNN vs FOX News, left vs right, good vs evil, me vs them.

It’s a natural cycle that creates a space where the scales can be tipped so that ultimately (balance) or harmony can be achieved. I use “balance” lightly, as to me, when things are balanced, there is no movement. Which only creates stagnation and leads to more extremism in order to motivate change. Harmony seems to be a more fitting term, as when the choir is in harmony… truly amazing things happen as all are working, or playing, together. Everyone has the part they are responsible for.

As we dig in our heels and reach out to one end of the spectrum or the other, I encourage you to pay attention to the aspects that are presenting themselves these days. The signs that that vast grey area in the middle of dark and light, “our center” is where we stand in our true power. Standing in the center of who we are, is where clarity, compassion, patience, peace and hope guide our choices.

Standing in YOUR center is not a pollyanna approach. It doesn’t mean you’re wishy-washy or don’t believe. It means that you allow. And sometimes, in that allowance you accept and understand.

These extreme battles we are fighting, started when we got off our center. The battles we see “out there”, started “in here”… when we turned ourselves inside out and externalized our existence.

Go find yourself. There’s an inspiring perspective to behold when you are in that space. Take a deep breath and allow…….

InJoy, Tina
