Conciousness and wobble cushions


Has any one noticed the shift in balance of the world? There seems to be a new awakening happening in everyone. No matter what the nature of the awakening, it is an opportunity to elevate oneself to a higher level of conciousness.

As human beings we have this nasty habit of separating ourselves from others and this even extends to our habits, beliefs and motivations. I see this everyday even in more simple terms. I pop a client on a wobble cushion(or stability cushion) and watch them jiggle around like jelly through the exercises until the make that connection again with their bodies and their mind. Until they make that connection and become more aware of how the body works and what it needs to improve its quality of movement, they cannot progress. I help them find that connection and, let me tell you, there is no greater reward than watching someone go PING! and let a smile splat onto their faces as they finally understand the benefit of effort and concentration.

It's the same in life. Science and teachings from various religions are seen as separate and could not possibly exist together in harmony. They cannot work in balance together? Why not? Why make that separation? Then by using both aspects of knowledge we create a unified connection to everyone and everything? If we put the effort in to ourselves, just like our bodies, and reconnect to everything around us, the rewards are just indescribable. Separation creates loneliness and instability or unbalance...why attach to one belief by excluding another? We live in a three dimensional world, so why not have a third perception of the world too. A middle path or middle existence that utilises the best of life's dualities.
I once heard something that got me questioning the concept of perception:
If you stand in front of someone you see them from one perspective. If you stand behind them, you see them from a completely different perspective. Yet we know that even though you see two different sides, they still make up on whole person. You cannot separate that person into two different people...well you could but they would die, quite literally. One cannot exist without the other.
So what I am trying to say is: Why can't we all just get a long and treat everyone and all living entities with love and respect? You have nothing but contentment to gain from this. Reflect,forgive and be thankful!
