Inner Knowing The answer to this whole balanced-life thing is simple. You already know it. If you are reading Holistic Network.com then you are most likely searching for things like deeper connection and looking for topics such as alternative health solutions or how to manage the stress in your life. The answer to finding balance in life with a more complete mind/ body/ spirit connection or, finding more joy in relationships and, finding peace in daily life is truly pretty simple.
The answer is we can. Even better, the news is we will. We are closing in on a place where we will come full circle as a society with the speed we’re traveling. We are already searching for those places of calm again in our lives, homes and in our work. Individually, we will discover balance on our own and we’ll achieve it within our family, with our friends & therapists, and by ourselves - with trial and error. The reason the solutions to renewed balance are so simple is that all the best answers are in simplifying. These answers can be found within each one of us. Within you and I are messages so subtle and profound that we discount them daily and look for our doctors, pastors and mechanics to give us the answers. Each day, with physical sensations both powerful and petite, the systems of our bodies are sending messages to aid us in floating back to that path of balance. We can gracefully find that joyous yellow-brick road by gently listening AND responding to those messages by making tiny corrections. Tiny corrections to, “I shouldn’t have eaten that” or, “I know I need to start exercising again.” After each meal, our body lets us know what it thought of the contents of our food. We receive a feeling in our body as the proper balance of hormones, anti-bodies and building blocks to our systems are circulated. With pizza and ice cream there is a particular sensation 20 minutes later and with a veggie stir-fry there is another. We often become addicted, even to feelings that don’t feel good. This particular edition of AZNetNews will cover numerous suggestions on why not to drink soda, what type of therapy to get for your specific ailment and ideas on how to feel better by making certain holistic changes. You may, in this search spend money on countless books, seminars and products all to help you be happy. Those dollars will be well spent and the time reading this paper cover-to-cover will also be fruitful on your quest. However, everything we are seeking we already have the answers for. Those answers lie in our body & life. Try listening a little to it and if you’re listening already – act upon the message its giving you. Honor yourself and the immeasurable intelligence in the cells and systems of your body by doing something right now. Ask yourself and your body what it wants from you if don’t already know, it will give you an answer. Trust it. For you it may be to purchase and carry a water bottle everywhere you go or to park in a distant spot in the parking lot of your next errand and enjoy the walk or it may be to invest in a yoga membership, massage or to ask your partner to have tea and talk openly with you about a certain topic. Other ideas are buy a CD, meditate or write an old friend. Whatever the first step is make it in the next couple hours and write it down. Then, decide what your next one will be. You may consider leaving your job to improve your life? Is the changing of eating habits necessary? Do you just simply need to get off the couch and walk, climb or go boating? You know the answers to these in your gut, in your back and in your heart. When you begin to listen to your own body, trust your own heart and take simple steps of your own choosing - miraculous things will begin to happen. Try one today!

This year billions will be spent on finding balance through a
myriad of possible “solutions.” With all of our endless solutions of
high and low-tech gadgets, powdered supplements and self-help books
(on every possible facet of the human condition that might be
improved) – one simple concept remains. The idea is that a balanced
life is often a simple life consisting of nutrition, movement and open
communication in relationships. Yes, the best components of a
balanced, peaceful and joyful life have always leaned towards
simplicity. You already know that regular exercise, expressing your
unique truth in life and eating healthy servings of fruits and
vegetables will add to the quantity of life in each moment of your
life. The question then becomes, if it’s so simple, “Why aren’t more
of us finding success on our quest for this fountain of balancing
waters?”
