Balancing ourselves like the Yin and Yang with the key elements that make up our well being are crucial to our existence. Clarity and “going with the flow” like water is an important concept.

      When we are thirsty we must drink. When we are hungry we must nourish ourselves from the earth. To centre we must breath. To endure and push on requires will and inner fire. Just as a piece of steel is “tempered” by flame, forged by impact and quenched in water to take shape and become strong, so too is the human spirit.

      Keeping our “temper” in control means discipline and patience. Achieving harmony requires keeping fear, anger, desire and sadness in check. Remember, these emotions are there to create balance too and teach us about ourselves.
