Polar Opposites

As a Polarity Therapist, I am always aware of the positive (yang), the neutral, and the negative (yin) in life. On my most recent adventure–Vegas and Zion, that was extremely simple. When comparing the two, the term “polar opposites” comes to mind.

Wherever I go, I constantly look for neutral or balance. In Vegas, balance came in the form of swimming, journaling, reading, and enjoying good meals. Vegas forced me to go inward (yin) to balance all of the insanity outward (yang).

The massive formations of Zion National Park drew me out (yang) into the natural surroundings. While hiking, I had to stop in order to take it all in (yin). Nature is just too big to grasp all at once. Balance ensued as I paused to breathe and sense everything within my range. After communing with nature, a hot tub extracted the soreness from my aching bones and muscles. Writing provided a place to document my memories.

The last time that I was in Zion was nearly ten years ago–September 11, 2001. A day most of us remember quite well; an especially solemn day. The great outdoors filled my television screen that day. Being in nature allowed me to remain balanced in the mist of devastation.

Last week, the tragedy in Japan loomed large. With televisions and newspapers scattered around it was more difficult to avoid. I felt a little guilty, but I was avoiding it. I didn’t want the images pressed into my brain, replacing the beauty that surrounded me. To balance it out, I continued to absorb the peace and love, sending it out to those effected. That’s really all I could do... be the polar opposite.

It’s not always easy for me to sit in gratitude when so many things feel like they are crumbling around me. But I know that by keeping the peace and love going I am doing my part to help. I suppose there is always more to do, but I rely on the power of resonance to help others.

In my practice, when client’s arrive in a chaotic state it does neither of us good to become more crazed. I invite others to join me in a peaceful, loving state. And so it is. . . .  Be well– Nancy T.
