BALANCE

    In honor of Libra season, I would love to discuss the importance of working towards balance in this lifetime. My understanding of balance involves honoring both the light and dark energy within me! Just like the concept of yin and yang, one cannot exist without the other. To know light, I first experienced darkness. In other words, chaos and order both serve a purpose. Finding harmony is knowing when to employ each energy!

     Harmony allows me to conserve my peace of mind by knowing when to let things go vs when I need to apply pressure. This is very liberating to me as someone who feels deeply and is prone to overthinking. Funny enough, one of the stereotypes Libras are known for is people pleasing in order to accommodate everyone! This is something everyone is guilty of at some point in their lives, whether it is to their parents, friends, or the public. Either way, knowing when to set boundaries with yourself is an important step in claiming your balance!

     Balance starts from within. How much do you value yourself? Do you love yourself enough to honor your shadow self with the same intense love you shower your higher self with? Understanding that the universe is an expression of both light and dark energy is key to unlocking internal harmony. This internal balance breeds abundant outcomes in the physical world. It allows one to find solitude despite the chaos that is beyond our control.

     Ultimately, the biggest takeaway in my solitude journey thus far is that my dark wrathful energy serves an important purpose. It allows me to defend myself by speaking up and not tolerating disrespect from anybody! It helps me to be fearless in the face of injustices. Most importantly, it allows me to transmute my pain into a beautiful reimagining of what the future can be without systemic violence.
