A life in balance

Life’s all about Balance. Physical Balance, Mental Balance, Emotional Balance. Equilibrium.

A bird can’t fly if both its wings don’t work in balance and perfect co-ordination. Out of balance, cars can’t ply, planes can’t fly, boats drown. Without balance, friendships suffer, marriages fail, families break apart. Out of balance, companies falter, markets stall, economies crumble. Lack of internal balance causes our bodies to malfunction and lose homeostasis leading to dis-ease.

It’s no wonder then, that we spend all our lives trying to achieve balance. Whether we know it or not, whether we like it or not, we are constantly balancing our lives through its various highs and lows, ebbs and flows.

This site is dedicated to everything that’s involved in maintaining a balanced life. Healing is nothing but regaining the lost balance externally and internally, physically and mentally. As we grow through life, we take on increasing responsibilities, and many roles. Balancing these relationships and roles is difficult. Many times one or more of our roles take over our lives leading to trouble with other relationships.

The Framework

This site works on a simple premise – our life is a sum of our relationships – and it works off a basic framework focused on four key relationships all of us have. 1. Our relationships with our near and dear ones, people we call Family, 2. Our relationship with our career, or our work – basically anything we do to earn a living – our Finances, 3. Our relationship with the community – this could be our neighborhood, or even our connections with people world over – our Social network, and 4. the most important, our relationship with ourselves – Self.

And of course, each of these relationships will overlap sometimes. Sometimes we may focus on one area more than others. But whatever we do, it will affect our Self and vice versa.

Whenever we feel overwhelmed and out of balance, it will help us to remember this basic framework to re-evaluate our position, re-calibrate our goals and regain our personal equilibrium.
