POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Yesterday, Team Balancd™ spent the afternoon outdoors with students from Buddhist Yip Kei Nam Memorial College.

We led a Kung Fu experience class focused on strength, flexibility and coordination – giving everyone their own space to move, learn and have fun together.

It was great to see teachers joining in alongside the students, ending the school day with energy, movement and smiles. 😊

昨日，同衡™團隊與佛教葉紀南紀念中學的同學們，在校園操場的陽光下一同活動。

我們為大家帶來了一堂基本功體驗課，重點鍛鍊力量、柔韌度與身體協調能力。每位同學都有充足的活動空間，可以開心學習與運動，一起享受出汗的樂趣。

我們也很高興看到老師們一同投入。一天的課堂之後，師生以動靜結合的方式，共享了一段充實而愉快的時光。😊

Slow and steady wins the race / This is a call

When you are awake to yourself but not content with your reality, this is a call to action. A call to change. A call to service. How you respond to this call is your choice and yours alone. We cannot expect the world to assist or to change around us. If you choose to embrace it, you must take action whole heartedly and begin the journey towards enlightenment.

Enlightenment is simple but it is not a destination. It is not about retreating from the world and not feeling. It is about meaning. For those who have lost meaning, or the ability to feel, we can feel helpless. If you get distracted and stray, that's ok. Failures, challenges, exploration and curiosity are part of the complete human experience. Just be brave, have love and gravitate towards energy and communities that you can support and support you in return. Fill your cup and let it overflow.

Enlightenment is in truth, living, practicing, working, playing, creating, loving, healing or whatever form of Service calls to you. This will be unique for everyone, but your path will be lit(!), bright and clear for you to see.

Once you are steady on your path, don't forget to enjoy the view. Being present is a once in a lifetime opportunity. When you are present, you open yourself up to the capacity for love and joy. If you are present, joy can find you anywhere. This is enlightenment. 💙

Alarm bells are ringing / Sorry I was an asshole, turns out I'm depressed

Yes, depressed. A life plagued with anxiety, suicide and the manifestations of victim/abuser consciousness. Too many wasted days wallowing in lower vibration emotions such as shame/guilt/despair/grief/fear/anger.

This isn't a cry for help, nor is it a FAQ for mental health issues (there are many great resources/communities out there). This is an extract from the autobiographical collective experience, a historical account. A line in the sand. It's not my story alone, too many others have shared it with me. I'm not an expert, I've never been "clinically" diagnosed (mainly because I don't believe the antidote is a pill prescribed by a doctor) but I've spent ~33 out of my 38 years "alive" in this experience. I've felt it, seen it, heard it, lived it, survived it, counselled on it and all I can do is share the bittersweet experience.

NB - If nothing below resonates, congratulations! Keep doing you! You're winning the human experience! Don't feel guilty!

A lot of us still live in a world where stress and the grind is not only normalized, it's celebrated. Mainstream education teaches us to think and achieve but not to feel and care. We're taught to manage by numbers, set goals and achieve them. We're taught to hide how we feel because being vulnerable is weak and being tough is strong. A healthy economy and a productive workforce are the markers of a successfully developed country. A job is your identity. People are expendable. I don't live this way anymore, but I fully understand why someone else might, we're continually lied to:

A Change is Gonna Come / Sister can you spare a dime

"It's been a long, a long time coming

But I know a change gon' come, oh yes, it will

Then I go to my brother

And I say, "Brother, help me please"

But he winds up knockin' me

Back down on my knees

There've been times that I thought I couldn't last for long

But now I think I'm able to carry on

It's been a long, a long time coming

But I know a change gon' come, oh yes, it will"

We are happy to serve you / But there's no money in it…

Serve your world, serve a cause, serve yourself, serve with love. There has never been a better time to serve than right now, especially with the majority of our leaders no longer serving us.

I'm inspired by "ordinary" people who become legendary through their devotion to a cause or passion, but I've also come to understand that service doesn't have to be a single lifelong career or cause.

The definition of service and the way we serve is unique. We all do so in our own way. It could be sharing our time, resources, skills or passion. Time spent doing something you love or creating something you love is a service to yourself and others.

We all know that it "feels" different when we do something out of love rather than out of guilt, fear, desire or pride.

Yes yes, sometimes we do need to be "practical" in the current materialistic world and maybe we can't be doing things we love AAALL the time. We've all done things for the money or because we "had to”. But if we can at least spend 51% of our time and energy into serving out of love, we'll all be better for it.

Take the steps towards enlightenment and put love into action through service.

The Tale of 2 Wolves / I call the big one Bitey

An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. “A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy. “It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves”

“One is evil – he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego”

He continued, “The other is good – he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you – and inside every other person, too”.

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?” The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed”.

What is Love / Stop hitting me

Love. Where do I start with this one... I’m part of a generation taught that filial piety is synonymous with love. That obedience and compliance is love. That self-censorship, suppressing emotions, shame, abuse, trauma, and violence were part of the equation. Words, feelings and emotions had nothing to do with love.

With this in mind, it's no surprise that many of my past relationships were toxic, abusive or co-dependent. I accepted abuse and violence as a part of love and never spoke my truth. I’m not a special case. There are generations of us cut from the same cloth. This idea of love is why we allow police to beat kids on our streets (Edit: Yes, I’ve had actual conversations with parents who support police using violence on subdued/arrested minors, come at me)

So now what? I guess I’m still learning. I understand what love is not. I’m learning about self-love. Serving the people I love. Doing things I love. I understand being motivated by love, but not for love. I understand being in love, not as a state of desire but as a state of healing and peace. Love drives me to be a better father, husband and person. On that note, I’ll leave it to my son to tell you more about love. 💙

Increase the peace / Calm as Hindu cows

Do something you love this weekend. Find inner peace. Stay balanced.

Read, write, journal, meditate, pray. Connect, listen, observe, speak your truth, joke, laugh. Cook, clean, eat & drink (in moderation). Walk, run, swim, dance, sing, move, jump, lift, stretch, play, sleep. Build, create, explore, inspire, solve, teach, simplify, love.

Be brave, be of service, volunteer, cooperate, share. Be kind, be grateful, be honest, have empathy, show compassion, be around nature, be around animals, slow down, relax, accept, let go, escape, disconnect, breathe.

Do whatever it takes, but most of all, forget to be angry, ignore the critics and abandon the negativity.

Peace to you all. 🙏🏽💙✌🏽

Be brave / F*ck your anxiety

All my life I have been taught to fear. I was born into it, consumed and surrounded by it and allowed it to infiltrate every facet of my life.

I was never good enough, never took risks and was “lucky” to avoid all the catastrophic failures I concocted in my mind. Fear paralysed me, kept me from seeing the truth and living a fully expressed life.

Once I learnt to identify fear as the enemy, I saw fear for what it is - a projection and a choice.

A new beginning / Old dog new tricks

For lack of a better word, let’s call this an awakening.
An awakening from a life of darkness, despair and depression.

An awakening to truth, purpose and reality.

An awakening to bravery, love and service.
