Here’s an interview I did on “growing awareness on our body to achieve holistic balance”.

Here’s more information on how we can grow more awareness on our body.

The Simplest Secret to Balance

Last month, as I was rushing through all the morning washing and brushing before leaving for a speaking session, I suddenly realized my breath had come to my upper chest. I then paused to slow down and let the breath go deep. I knew exactly what made that happen. Breath is susceptible to what’s going on in our mind.  Whenever we focus too much on thinking and doing, our breath will go short and shallow. It happens to everyone. Though diaphragmatic breathing is a habit for me, it still happens occasionally. The key is to be aware. You need to be very observant of your breath so as to adjust yourself physically thus mentally. By being aware of the little changes in my breath, I know what I’m going through, where the problem is and what needs to be adjusted. Breathing IS the secret to all balances. One conscious deep breath harmonizes the flow of your energy and aligns you physically and mentally.

To achieve your balance, start to be more observant of your breath. Notice:

• Where does breath happen in your body, chest area or stomach area?
• When does it happen in your chest area, and when does it happen in your stomach area?
• What made the change in breathing into different areas of your body?

Use breath as a balance-check tool. Whenever you notice the changes in your breath, pause, slow down and adjust yourself through deep breathing, i.e. diaphragmatic breathing, and you’ll find you can manage your stress better and achieve balance more easily.

Why Peace of Mind?

Just watch it this morning. Even Brian Tracy is talking about the importance of peace of mind. Enjoy~~

Oh, That Peacefulness

“Happiness is found not by seeking to quench our desires & cravings,” but by looking inward to find peace.

Do you know the Great Red Spot (GRS) in the planet Jupiter? It is a turbulent windstorm, like a hurricane on our planet Earth, and it’s rotating counter-clockwise. It is so huge that three Earths could fit within its boundaries just nice!

What amazes me is not how huge the GRS is, but what happens inside of the GRS. It is total calmness inside of the GRS! Nothing is affected by the violent storms outside. Scientists say, if you fly inside of the GRS, you’ll have a very pleasant trip!

Using the GRS as a metaphor to look at ourselves, whatever happens outside of us, if we could remain a state of peacefulness inside of us, imagine how pleasant our inner journey will be! With the calmness inside of the GRS, you can fly as high and as far as you want. With the peacefulness inside of you, you can achieve whatever you want to achieve. It is not how powerful you try to project to the outside world; it is how peaceful you hold inside of yourself.

Some wise mind said, “Happiness is found not by seeking to quench our desires & cravings.” I would add “but by looking inward to find peace.”

May we all find that peacefulness inside.
