Personal freedom, a life of ease and happiness becomes part
\nof our life when live from a place of balance and harmony. What I call our filter system, our beliefs, agreements and assumptions can easily ‘pulls us’ off balance. When we are thinking about life instead of
\nbeing in the moment we often can’t find that place of inner balance and harmony. Connecting with the divine and the angels are nowhere to be found.<\/p>\n

Trying to create harmony or anything else for that matter is useless. Trying to
\ndo something is very different from actually doing it. As the great master Yoda
\nonce said, “There is no try, there is to do or not do.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Finding actions that generate a feeling of balance within
\nand then doing them on a regular basis is a major step toward creating happiness, freedom and joy.
\nWe are body, mind and spirit so if we are to find balance and harmony we must
\nengage all three. <\/p>\n

For many years I have had what I call bookends. Something I
\ndo every evening and every morning to create a deep connection and enhance the
\nbalance and harmony in my life. From time to time I get busy and stop doing
\nmy morning exercise routine. When I do it again for the first time I
\nimmediately feel my mind, my body and my spirit go ahhhhh. <\/p>\n

If I take time to listen to my inner knowing I find
\nactivities that facilitate that balance. If I then turn those activities over
\nto my mind they can become a meaningless ritual. Each morning I write, meditate
\nand do my very modified ‘yoga’ routine. It works for me. At night before I go
\nto bed I again write, review my day and clear any energy stuck there and then
\nread my Mahalo card – a place where I list all the things I have to be grateful for. <\/p>\n

What role does balance and harmony play in your daily
\nroutine?<\/p>\n

With love and aloha,
\nSusan<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n

Angels are everywhere just open your mind and your heart to the signs.<\/p>\n

Make Angels on Your Shoulder<\/a> part of your daily routine and share it with a friend! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
