Balance, it comes in a lot of ways and this is what I have learned.
I tend to go away from this site for years in some cases but always come back, mainly when I am struggling with something and out of balance. It takes reading through the basics of meditation, visualization, chakras and grounding, I believe the ones currently up arefrom Lark a hard working moderator and have been for a long while.
Every now and then one can lose balance, and we never really know why it does take a bit of soul searching and sometimes it just comes naturally and you not really sure how. Here there is a lot of experience even though chatter is a lot quieter than it was, the more knowledgeable remaining ready to guide those who take it seriously and are looking for there own patch. First thing that was said to me when I first joined this site was if you don't know why your here, we certainly don't. We won't find the answer for you, it's already on the forum, if you need help understanding it then we will help you.
Its your journey, I and others can help you on that journey but we can't travel that journey with you, sometimes our paths may be similar and we can get the answers we need from one another to help us.
The basics are crucial and the foundations to learning and staying balanced, some find it easier than others, but than might find something else harder, which is why it is important that we all share what we know, and we are able to do things and when to ask for help when finding something difficult. This site can't make real life problems go away butstudying, learning and working hard can give you a purpose or calling which is what some are looking for.
I only came back yesterday but unsure if I will be around for a length of time, although something has drawn me back and not quite sure why, things are settled for me and going well.
I recommend searching these forums, their are posts older than I have been on the site, and information long forgotten by some, from covens open and covens closed. The answers are here and if you ain't found it, then you've asked the wrong person and not looked deep enough in the vaults of knowledge so keep looking and don't give up is for my message to those new and those who have been around and maybe having doubts.
Well enjoy your studies, I will be checking in daily for the time been and if anyone wants to ask me something, I have looked through these forum often and although may not know the answer maybe able to direct you, it's called the search tab top right.
