What practical steps can you take to stay balanced energetically?

[Elaine]

1. Do not expect to be energetically balanced all the time. When many areas of life are changing and pulsing new and different vibratory patterns at you all at once, it is sometimes impossible to remain balanced
2. Be kind and gentle with yourself.
3. Rest when tired
4. Withdraw from contact with anyone who may consciously or unconsciously drain your energy. Sometimes, it is necessary to withdraw, because you cannot take in one more energetic influence. Be willing to give up that special dinner or the musical gig even though you have looked forward to it all week, because you know deep inside, it is one thing too many that will tip your already precarious balance.
5. Meditate, do yoga or any of the martial or healing arts, dance, sing, walk, esp. by the ocean, if possible.
6. Ask for help in healing your imbalance and trust that that help will be there for you.
