Never think too much of yourself. Realize you are only an instrument of eternity. Do not get stuck in that terrible trap. You can lose everything.
I examine each student carefully: Is there a balance between their tonal and their nagual?
To stop thought it's necessary to put your life into a state of balance. Otherwise you can sit and meditate for hours and all kinds of conscious and unconscious thoughts will flow through you.
Mindfulness is the ability to do physical things in a harmonious way; it is a way to remain centered in a physical world that is out of balance.
When women come into their full power, a balance will occur which has not been seen for so long that no one remembers it.
As a woman you must unite with other women for a while and perhaps even reject the world of men, just to balance yourself.
A master of will can teach you how to use will. You watch them and observe them use that will, guided by wisdom, with a happy balance.
In Zen you practice zazen, mindfulness and other forms of introspection to find out who you are and what you want, to balance your spirit, develop willpower, increase your sense of humor and gain wisdom.
The study of Zen is the study of energy, power, knowledge and balance. It is the science of energy conservation and control. We use energy to aid others, to see beauty, to discover love where we saw no love at all.
We see an enlightened teacher to gain a sense of humor, to learn balance and proportion and of course to learn wisdom.
The person who takes power will never be happy with those things they gain. They have lost their essential balance and innocence. And without innocence, nothing can further, as they say in the I Ching.

They can't stop you if, in your heart, you seek enlightenment, empowerment, balance and knowledge.
Spiritual balance is to be straight with yourself.
Balance is to choose happiness, to feel that the purpose of life is to love, not necessarily to be loved, to be happy, to be conscious, to be aware, to be fulfilled.
Balance is the ability to be happy in the midst of the most chaotic or even boring or transient circumstance.
When you're happy it's pretty tough to knock you over. You can handle whatever comes along in life.
Keep your sense of humor. Stay funny.
A person with power has control of their emotions. A person with power can stop fear, stop depression, or they can augment a positive emotion.
Laughing at fear is one of the best things you can do. When you are afraid, instead of just plunging into panic, laugh. The fear gets really uptight and leaves.
Sometimes we have to be hard on ourselves. We've got to get on our case, if we are being sloppy, lazy, and indulgent.
If suddenly you get depressed, it doesn't have to throw you. You can push those emotions aside. You can cultivate happy emotions or become emotionless when you need to be very sensitive.
There's no point in getting frustrated at yourself. Just be truthful.
If you are doing that which is within you, what that part of you that is beyond body would like you to do, then you would not experience stress because you would be very fulfilled.
Balance is the most important of all qualities. We don't want a little bit of rapid growth and then to stagnate. We want continual growth, continual development, which implies balance, always.
