Balance- The Underlying Force of Longevity in All Things

A few days ago I began a new balancing exercise. Although I've added to my yoga routine, I am not speaking of physical balance. Instead I'm searching for the equilibrium within.  This unfolding started with me personally relating to each chakra. I compared my issues and attributes at the 7 different levels; from there I thus deciphered my chakras in relation to having excess or deficient energy. 

Exercise: I visualize the first chakra; its position on my physical body and the role it plays in shaping my abstract existence. I watch the waves of energy circle around this point and move up towards my second chakra. I picture each one in equal depths to the first and visualize the waves gravitating upward to each level. From personal diagnosis my excessive chakras are believably chakras two and three, here I emphasize the energy moving up. By releasing energy from these overwhelmed systems I can carry the waves upward to vitalize my deficient chakras. I then do the same exercise in reverse by bringing the energy back down. This continues back and forth until I feel as though I've reached an equal distribution of energy within my system.



         As I was doing this a few times, I began to feel as though I was achieving some sort of equilibrium. My energy was circling the 6th chakra, positioned at my third eye, then syrandipidty struck at its finest. A bird came close enough to my forehead that I could feel the wind from it's wings flapping and sense it's heart fluttering just as fiercely.  Can it just be a coincidence that a bird vocalized next to my pineal gland as my energy was centralized in this area? Sure, but where's the fun in that? One of the main points I've gathered from my readings about growth of the upper chakras, bringing one to a higher level of consciousness, relies on lessons in symbols. There is a great deal of importance in the ability for one to recognize a symbol and decipher it's significants. Everyday we are faced with symbols, visual cues from above, whether we chose to see them depends on the eagerness for growth in the individual. The other day I went off on my own, Kona the resort pitbull, decided to join me. As we spent all afternoon swimming and rock picking I continuously recognized so much understanding between us. Then, while floating on my back, as I began to ponder this realization, two leaves from separate parts of the sky conjoined and fell to the water together. This moment sticks in my mind for the timing was impeccable. The key to finding significance in symbolizism is hidding in your thoughts or actions when this 'coincidence' appears. A few weeks ago I was desperately eager to find feathers. I had just learned how to make dream catchers and my only missing ingredient was feathers. Weeks passed as did my longing to acquire said object. I started focusing my creative energy on coconut rings; I had all the necessary ingredients for its creations. Suddenly feathers started appearing. I came back from a dive, chipper and care-free, when I looked down to see a feather, sitting on the dock, resisting the gusts of wind. Symbols arrive at pivotal points in our life and we must dissolve it's worth as more than mere coincidences.
                  Even this post gave me so much more clarity than I intended. When I began writing a few hours ago it started as venting. Getting my frustrations off my chest; my lack of diving, my dislocated knee, my disagreement with a coworker, my saddened state-of-mind. When I went back and read it all I decided that I do not wish to share my self-pitty with the world. Then I started a new paragraph. Due to lack of proper technology I post from my iPhone, anyone whose written letters on a small 
touchpad may be feeling my pain. Anywho it's hard to follow every function, somehow I pasted an address over my entire post. I was confronted with a clean slate. I started fresh and released what you are reading as soon as it found me.
