Lets talk about balance

What do you do to keep Balance ??

My craft is all about balance in everything I do.

It is embedded in my daily life and even a cup of tea isn’t just that, I very often light a candle for example, to represent the opposite to it’s watery form. My breath that blows over it to cool it off is the element of wind and I focus my awareness on it. And finally the teabag with it’s herbs and leaves represent the earth that made this tea possible to begin with. Of course a tea is a tea, but magic is everywhere and above all you yourself are magic.

The craft is present in each task we do, we just have to see it and adjust our focus and awareness

.The four elements are the foundation to my practice. If one element is missing it creates an imbalance and disharmony. Of course the practice may work, but eventually the cost will show itself, if ignored.

It doesn’t have to be seen as negative, but it could just drain unnecessarily more of your energy, or be a catalyst for an addictive behavior in time, or come as insomnia, a headache etc.... Depending on the craft work it can sneak up on you without you even noticing and later on you start wondering why something is amiss, why your body reacts strange or the outcome of your magic isn’t sitting right with you. The tiny things have often a big impact.

I raise my awareness by recognizing the four elements in small tasks, in seemingly unimportant daily routines and honoring them by bringing them into focus. How do you find your balance?
