Though science does not really want to acknowledge this, it nevertheless, had its humble beginnings in cultural lineages and traditions, or what is commonly referred to as folklore. Cultural “folk-medicines” have not been respected as science has developed, and even touted as evil and sub-standard, though many people have continued to develop and refine these original methods.

One must start with the suspicion/realization that they are perhaps, not in a natural state...

Sincerity allows us to recognize that disharmony may be the prevailing habit, harmony is more fleeting...

One must study the cyclic nature of rhythms to understand that balance is the key...

Balance on-going is the recognition that change and movement are constant, awareness must follow and adapt in accord...

Our experiential learning is part past teachings, part present awareness, part infinite possibility...a convergence of past present and future...

#1 - If you are practicing (practice mantra: “I am practicing balance”) in a balanced way - that induces the beginnings of balance ongoing. How? Rhythm is essential to understanding this - and something to keep learning from. If something goes in and out, left and right, and up and down in a regulated way, it can carry its own momentum into greater and greater lengths of time without an external force. The secret is that balance practiced ongoing through rhythm produces breakthrough - or what was not possible is now possible or what was not known is now known.
