Balance the physical and the spiritual.
We are spiritual beings having a physical experience in third-dimensional reality. We need our spiritual side to live with meaning and joy. We need our physical side to house our spiritual nature in physical existence.
We are both natures at once. We need to honor both aspects of ourselves to live a good and fulfilling life.
If we please only our physical bodies, we may have meaningless shallow existences. When we honor only our spiritual side, we may miss out on much of the joy of being here on earth.
We’re intended, by design, to be both ways simultaneously. So, this is our challenge—to enjoy physical life consciously while bringing a spiritual perspective to it.
To do so, we need to welcome and tend to both sides of ourselves. We take loving care of our physical bodies with regular self-care. We honor our spiritual nature through lovingly conscious choices and contemplative practices like meditation, self-reflection, prayer, etc.
Today’s message advises me that when I integrate both aspects of myself, I find a sense of beauty and purpose in my everyday life. This isn’t a one-and-done revelation, but rather an ongoing practice of keeping myself in balance.
The upcoming spring equinox is a splendid time to do so. Here’s a link to a guided meditation to help you find balance in yourself:

Please reflect and share. Do you feel in touch with both sides of your nature?
