What energy and qualities do we place at the center of our way of being and living day to day?
Our bodies have a physical center of gravity, defined as the point in your body where its mass is concentrated, and the point where the entire body is in balance in reference to gravity. This center affects our posture and how we carry ourselves, and it shifts to accommodate our different movements and orientations in our bodies.
I think we also have an emotional and spiritual center of gravity, and the amazing thing with this center of gravity is we have a lot of power to choose it and change it.
For example, do you choose to put gratitude or grievance more at the center of your emotional and spiritual life?
We all will experience grievance, when things don’t go the way we wanted them to, there is trouble in a relationship, or there is a loss we are grappling with, but we choose whether we put those things at the center of our awareness as a pattern or if we meet those things and move back to gratitude for what is good and beautiful in our lives.
There will always be problems and difficulties to deal with, and there will always be blessings and goodness.
Where do you want your center of gravity to be?
You are empowered to choose and that is no small thing.
