Have you ever stopped to wonder what makes you you? Of the countless, unimaginably infinite possible forms that consciousness could take, what made you turn out the way you have? In the ocean of consciousness, spirit takes innumerable forms—waves, currents, tides, whirlpools, surges—but there’s only one unique expression of that ocean unlike any other that is you.

In our quest for total well-being, there is one principle, one guiding pillar that, like a lighthouse will always lead us back to our most natural state of calm and centered well-being. That principle is balance. Balance is the sense of equilibrium between all the influences, elements, and forces we experience in our lives. It’s the well-proportioned state between the opposites of rest and activity, work and play, day and night, hot and cold. In physiological terms, balance is reflected in the homeostatic stability that helps to ensure the optimal functioning of our body.

Posiblemente, los mitos más persistentes con respecto a la meditación son que es difícil, implica lucha o enfoque tipo láser, o que está reservado para unos pocos privilegiados que poseen la estructura mental o genética necesaria para calmar la mente.

La cultura popular no enciende una luz a la práctica de la meditación porque muchas veces parece inalcanzable, de otro mundo, cargada de atavíos filosóficos o místicos, o velada en secreto. Afortunadamente, la comprensión más profunda del bienestar de la mente y el cuerpo, y la desmitificación de las tradiciones de sabiduría del mundo, han ayudado a quitar el polvo de las visiones obsoletas de la meditación que la mantenían fuera del alcance del público en general.
