Equanimity. Have you ever thought you found it? Have you ever thought this was it – Balance, stability in the midst of worldly fluctuations and then it all disappeared? Your values, your core, your reality were challenged and all of a sudden you feel your world start unraveling. The grounding you created and inner courage it took to be vulnerable – to take a chance; now suddenly threatened and the walls around your heart start to reappear.
This is the daily challenge we face in our lives. Balance is not something that can be found once and then solidified. Balance is ever evolving and changing. Each day beings another situation that can challenge the foundations you created. Each day brings another opportunity to evolve and flow with the universe around you. Balance changes within your relationships each day, within your relationship with yourself, your relationship with the outside world. It is ever evolving and ebbing and flowing.
InnerJasmine is my Upeksha.
To me the Jasmine flower symbolizes purity of heart, stillness of mind, and freedom of sprit. I was once told I was someone’s Jasmine, that I brought him peace and tranquility. Now the Jasmine flower does the same for me. Every day I work to instill that feeling of balance and peace within all aspects of my life.
This is my journey ….my journey to find Upeksha. To find Balance – balance within my mind, body and spirit. I’ll be sharing my Journey through my Blog posts #TheJourneyThroughTheBookofAwakening. ~ What is your journey?
Each month I will introduce you to an amazing person on their journey to find their upeksha. They will share what Upeksha means to them, what balance symbolizes to them.
First introduction on January 14th – to Natalie Tomlin
Next year we will have a new group of Upeksha Navigators and re visit all our initial 12 to see how their journeys have changed.
