Through readings, discussions, education, and experience, I have been learned about Tai Chi and yoga, massage and shiatsu and acupuncture, herbal medicine and holistic nutrition, Reiki and therapeutic touch and healing with the hands, meditation and affirmations, psycho-spiritual therapy and inner child work and the collapsing of emotional scars. I have seen auras and learned about the seven chakras. I have worked with energy fields and learned about the power of positive thinking. And through it all, I have seen one common thread. Through all of my exposure to holistic healing, I have come to a conclusion.
Balance is everything.
Recently, I saw a portrait that a friend painted of her father. It was extremely well done, and though I never met the man, I now know what he looks like. He is a distinguished looking man, with graying hair and a kind face. What is really unique about this portrait, though, is revealed when you cover half of the face with a blank sheet of paper. A mirror would be even better.
