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.

Life can be challenging. But with the right strategies, you can find calm in the chaos. Here are 10 tools to manage feeling emotionally overwhelmed.

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. Sin embargo, ninguna de estas creencias es cierta. 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.

Popular culture has done meditation practice somewhat of a disservice by often making it appear unreachable, other-worldly, loaded with philosophical or mystical trappings, or veiled in secrecy. Fortunately, the deeper understandings of mind-body wellness and the demystification of the world’s wisdom traditions have helped to blow the dust off the outdated views of meditation that kept it out of reach of the general public.
