Finding Balance

You must bring balance to yourself before you can bring balance to the world. But how do we find balance? So often, the idea of balance is thrown around without a lot of detail put into how we should go about understanding and finding balance within ourselves.

In this talk, Silas hopes to introduce some contemplations and meditations that you can use to help find balance.

Excellent advise 🙏

Hi Silas, my gratitude for your words. It's the first talk I hear from you and I'm definitely going to dive in to something more coming from you.

Balance is a difficult thing for me beiing partially disabled with ptsd and add (very busy mind..😆) so I find some peace in meditation and contemplation, you definitely opened something up. 🙏

Thank you Silas. There was so much content and where does one start, with fear, shame, guilt, etc?
Just listening to the talk helped me gained a little balance.

Wonderful insight, thank you so much, I realize I need to practice much 😊

Thank you Silas. You touched on some very good key points for self acceptance, and said with much compassion.

This is a great talk - and lesson. Thank you.

Very timely for me, and extremely helpful. I appreciated the distinct sequence provided of areas to focus upon, whether a sequence was intended or not. I have long wondered where to start, and have jumped from one area to another at random, hoping to find a good place and gleaning insight along the way, but never knowing where to move to next. Likewise, I REALLY appreciated the point to repeat the focus area once you feel you are done for the time being.

The analogy of never catching everything on the first viewing of a movie was particularly apt. I am finding more and more things like this as I age, especially in music and tv/movies that I enjoyed as a child. With the experience of decades more life under my belt, nuances lost on the child-me come out in subtle ways as I revisit these old favorites. So too when I re-read poetry and writings from my teen years and beyond.

One is never "finished" and is always learning. Yet it would be a mistake to solely focus on one area, which as you noted, can lead to boredom. A "well-rounded application" is highly sought after in colleges and workplaces (I have worked in vocational counseling for decades, so this is a common refrain in my line of work). Being well-rounded hopefully includes some semblance of balance as well. It is nice to hear this concept applied to self-development as well as meditative practices.

Thank you for sharing this talk with us. Highly recommended and extremely worthwhile, in my opinion. I see the light within you. 🤲🏻❤️🤲🏻

So much wonderful insight, Silas. Thank you. Balance has been a goal for the past 31 years in recovery. Balance and the awakening are the North Star of why we work the 12 steps which brought me to meditation. I was taught by those who came before that if I devote myself to the practice, I do not have to worry about finding balance so much. Balance will find me. And yes, the wisdom that we are One, that there are no "others," is one of the pearls I, too, have discovered in meditation and Buddhism. Thank you. These talks are very helpful. I look forward to them.
