So I started thinking about what is constant in life. God. Moroni 10:19 "He is the same, yesterday, today and forever." So if I want to stay balanced I need to set my focus on something that is standing still, constant, unwavering. God. "The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light."(Matthew 6:22)
What a simple and beautiful truth. I have seen it in my own life. If I focus on God, I am much more balanced. Well what does focusing on God look like to me? To me, God is love. It is the greatest commandment we have been given. So as I focus my actions, thoughts, and feelings on love, I can and will stay balanced. Meaning no matter what goes on in the world around me, finding a way to always come from a place of love. This is the way to find the most balance, flexibility and peace.
In yoga when I am balanced in my postures, it gives me a chance to stretch more, increasing my flexibility; and focus more on my breath, increasing my peace. In life as I focus on God. I will be able to have more time to feel peace and be in the present moment. I also will be able to be more flexible with what goes on in the world around me.
God is love. I have so much to learn but am grateful for this sweet truth I learned today and will continue to practice staying balanced and loving in my life.
Namaste.
