In a very general sense there are three main areas of life that are good to maintain balance in, the Physical, the Mental and the Spiritual. Manifestations of these three aspects of life are discussed by everyone from the Buddhist to the Bahá'í and in various religions from Christianity to Confucianism, often as Body, Mind and Spirit.
While there is more to "it" than meets the eye, most would agree that everything from the marvelous to the mundane falls into one of these three aspects of life. The beauty of them is that everything needed to keep them in balance, everything needed to live fully and completely, is provided. None of it needs to be purchased, none of it is difficult to locate or hard to get to. The tools are provided or you already have them and how to use them is innate. It can become overly complicated, juggling is still juggling. The best thing we can do to maintain balance is to not get in our own way.

Today when I was meditating the neighborhood was quiet. A bee buzzed softly like he’d just been smoked out with the finest pine needles this side of the Mason Dixon. With the soft buzzing in the background, I let my mind wander, and wander it did. My daughter testing out of her Green Belt in Tang Soo Do and moving up to Advanced Green came to mind. To do so she would have to perform a few Katas. She’d practice in the living room, and I thought about the process, about what Kata is and why it is practiced. Even a Black Belt will often practice the more elementary Katas to stay tuned in to their body and to the movements and the proper ways to do them.
