Topic: When we begin to understand what balance means in mind and body, we also come to see that our goal is not out there, ahead of us. Instead, our goal is in the middle, between 2 opposing problems, two directions, or any duality. Balance is an equalization of whoa and go, left and right, energy and relaxation or equal parts of any opposite qualities. Anything we have or do in excess is what defines a problem. Finding or developing a counterbalance to what we have too much of are the skills needed in order to restore balance. We all miss the mark many times, swinging between too much of this and too little of that many times before we discover the middle way of balance.
