Middle Ground

I seek middle ground desperately, and hope that my practice of Yoga allows me to quiet the mind and create balance in my everyday life. Some of us just struggle that way. We let our minds soar to unimaginable heights, or find ourselves in the doldrums. No balance. No middle ground.

As we get older, deal with the fragility of life, see loved ones face health challenges, and suffer deep personal loss, the need for balance comes front and center. The benefits of meditation and a quieter mind help create balance. There is no art to it – sit quietly and focus on your breath. The cumulative payback is divine.
