HOW DO YOU FIND BALANCE IN LIFE?

It’s taken me a verrrry long time to understand how to find my center, and stay there, balancing calmly in the eye of the storm. ⛈ Because yeah, my life has been very stormy...

I mastered the physical art of balance through ballet, long before I mastered the art of emotional equilibrium through life’s ups and downs.

The daily discipline and incredible focus it takes to balance en pointe is a good training ground for learning how to create internal balance. 🌟

And yes, I said “create” because we have the power to create our inner still point. It is accessible to each of us. But it does require our commitment to keep returning back to a place of peace within. We just simply keep returning, over and over again. We have a choice in our perspective, our state of mind, our emotions.

Just like all the practice it takes to execute a beautiful sous-sous 👯‍♀️, it also takes practice to stay balanced in our peaceful center.

Breathe into your heart. Let the monkey mind go. Find a movement practice. 💃🏼 And then find a stillness practice. 🧘🏽‍♂️ It’s there within you.
