What does a balanced life mean to you?

Posted on Oct 10th, 2007 by Margot : Integral Yogini Margot
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for October 09, 2007:

A good friend once explained to me that life is like a flower with several petals, material, affective, mental and spiritual.  A balanced life is one in which we strive to live in each level or petal without attachment or excess in any one, but with moderation and detachment.  For me, a balanced life also implies gently and harmoniously following the path to the Soul and not living in mere outer or ego based reality.  In other words, in order to be balanced, I think it is essential to find and follow our own unique path of evolution with sincerity, responsibility, joy and humour! 
What gives my life balance is all of this and the close guidance of my Guru and guide who keeps me in line and gives me gentle and loving reminders when I go astray.
