Walking in balance is a foundational teaching for all indigenous peoples. Early nations’ writings, whether they be memories documented of elders from all over the world or the retelling of ancient tribal stories, show this basic tenet to be universal.
Disease is believed to be brought by disharmony, and this can be the disease in a human’s body or of their surroundings.
So, as I’ve listened and sat in ceremony for the last 30 years, this teaching has become a personal goal.
Seven years ago, “Balance Point” dropped off a shelf at a used book store into my hands. Now, who could ignore that kind of synchronistic event?
It’s an odd book, only because it seems like fiction. It isn’t. It’s a true life adventure that brings together research and conclusions regarding the devastation of our Earth and the current decline of our society. The best thing about the book is that Joseph Jenkins gives us the gloom and doom as well as offering simple solutions for balance in our lives. His presentation was and is an inspiration to me, one that urged me to tell my own kind of story about balance.
I’ve taken it a bit farther in The Sacred Bundle Series. The four books in this circular tale are not just about economic, political, and environmental balance. They are about personal balance and seeking balance in all relationships, whether it be with ourselves, our significant other or other people, with our spiritual path, or with our Earth.
If you get a chance to take a look at Jenkins’ work, I’d love to hear what you think about it. The web site for his work is www.jenkinspublishing.com. If you’d like to download a free couple pages of “The Marriage Bundle”, the first novel of my series, please visit my web site at www.standinginbalance.com.
You’ll also get put on the list of interested readers and have the opportunity to pre-order a copy for yourself at a discounted price.
