Balance Card #7 in The Conscious Living Wisdom Cards (Special Moms\u2019 Edition)<\/p>\n

Here is my Conscious Living Wisdom Card text for Balance:<\/p>\n

For You<\/strong><\/p>\n

Balance is the holistic synergy of our outer and inner worlds. Living out of balance can take the appearance of having either too much or not enough of something.\u00a0 Maybe you find yourself saying \u201cI have too much to do\u201d or \u201cI don\u2019t have \"\"<\/a>enough time, or money or space.\u201d\u00a0 To find balance, you must consider your actions in both your inner and outer worlds.\u00a0 Our outward direction of energy is considered masculine in nature and our inward direction of energy is considered feminine. Outward is defined by the things we do and the people for whom we do them, whereas inward is defined by the things we do for ourselves. If you put everyone before you, you will not have anything left for yourself when you need it.\u00a0 If you cannot say \u201cno\u201d to people who want and need things from you, learning to set healthy boundaries will benefit you greatly.\u00a0 Consider making this your mantra: \u201cJust because I can do something doesn\u2019t mean I have to.\u201d\u00a0 To help you gain insight into your inner and outer balance,\u00a0practice the yogic asana\u00a0called Tree Pose. In this pose you balance on one leg at a time.\u00a0 An inability to balance on your left leg indicates that your feminine energy is out of balance, as is\u00a0your focus on yourself. An inability to balance on your right left reflects an imbalance in your masculine energy as well as your outward focus. If you drew this card, reflect on the choices you make throughout the day and consider whether they contribute to balance or imbalance in your world.<\/p>\n

For Your Child<\/strong><\/p>\n

Balance in our children\u2019s lives offers them a sense of certainty and stability.\u00a0 If their lives are out of balance, they can experience fear, apprehension and resistance. As moms one of our jobs is to monitor our children\u2019s reality and ensure that they have balance – balance between activity and downtime, balance in food choices, balance between alone time and time with you.\u00a0 If you\u2019ve drawn this card for your child, look for places where his life may be out of balance.\u00a0 Is he over-scheduled?\u00a0 Does he have enough interaction with you and with friends?\u00a0 Does he get to just be a kid?\u00a0 Find ways that you can help him create balance.\u00a0 Our outer world is a reflection of our inner and vice versa.\u00a0 If you teach your child about balance now, the knowledge will greatly benefit him in the future.<\/p>\n
