Clothed in time, weathered by life, let your own body teach you what it means to be in balance, for it has had many experiences whether you were conscious or not, awake or asleep. It holds your memories and dreams, those of now and those of the generations before you. It contains the secrets of your present self and your ancient self, your innocence and your wisdom alike. Follow its guidance, for it will tell you what is right and what is not. Learn its language, its subtle ways and its quick remarks, how it shows you the right way to be in the world, the Middle Way, the path of balance and moderation and right action. All things are contained within, even what you least expect may be found there, self-knowledge, all the answers you seek. All you need is contained within, and that is good!

(Although we recently instituted a change, that is, no Soulbytes on weekends, this came through and so we publish it, as it seems that it begs to be said.)

When change is on the horizon participation is required. On ever-deepening levels things must constantly change so that balance is maintained. Attitudes must change. Ideas must change. Thoughts must change so that fear does not arise and take over, its shadow more devastating than the promise of change. With loving heart acknowledge the changing times and do your part. Leave fear behind and go out and face what is coming with goodness and calmness in your heart. Begin the long walk toward the horizon where the answers lie, where change waits to greet you and take you where you need to go next. One step at a time begin the journey of change within the self and reciprocally in the world. All it takes is one step—in the right direction, of course!

Thoughts create reality. What are you thinking? Are your thoughts good for you? And for others? Thoughts manifest. They effect you and they effect others in the world. Every thought carries energy and possibility, good or bad. Every day you are offered a daily opportunity to do something, to change something, within or without. What will your legacy be? You want to change the world? You can do it one thought at a time. It’s up to you. Think about it!

Feel your way through life. Let your body guide you through your day. Setting the busy mind aside let nature, the nature of you, be your guide. Let your body tell you everything you need to know, what it wants and doesn’t want, what is right and what is wrong. Pay attention to it. In the Tao of self find your balance, your equilibrium, your stability. Your body knows. Let it teach and guide you.

Stay grounded, and not just your feet. How will you make progress if your head is only in the clouds? Look at your feet. Where are they taking you? Tell them to go another way if things do not look good for you or if they are taking you too far astray. Keep your eyes looking always forward at the light on the horizon. Is that not where your feet should be headed too? Get back on your path. Get out of the clouds and back into reality. It will do you good!
