Living a Consciously Balanced Life

Consciousness - Awareness - Wakefulness - Thoughtfulness - Mindfulness





If we interact with life in a conscious manner, we will live a balanced life. This is true for our eating habits, our exercise, as well as the way we interact with other beings.


If we eat consciously, rather than in front of the television or computer, we will taste the food, feel the sensations on our tongue, and recognize the signal when our body is satisfied.


If we exercise consciously, we have less chance of pulling a muscle. We'll know if the body is straining too much or if the exercise is the right type for us.


If we interact with our environment consciously, we will care for our earth, air, water, animals, and plants.


If we interact with other people consciously, we will look into their eyes and notice their uniqueness. We will feel their pain as well as their joy. We will be one with them.


Living consciously allows us to feel the connection to the rest of humanity. It fosters compassion. If we can see the effect our actions have on ourselves and the world, we will change many of our habitual tendencies. We will change ourselves and ultimately the world!
