As much as you’d like to blame the opposite sex for the ills of society, it’s kind of impossible to do when you realize that you also have that opposition working right inside you. This simple Sanskrit mantra embodies both the masculine and feminine principles of the universe; principles that we all carry within us. Think “there cannot be light without dark” kind of stuff. Opposites are essential to finding balance, because if you don’t have two end points, there can be no middle. And when the middle path is what you seek, opposites are necessary to guide your journey. If you’re feeling a bit sluggish, you need to exert some force to stop downing potato chips and get out of your pajamas. When you’re feeling overwhelmed and overworked, there must be a sense of calm and relaxation to bring you back into a state of balance. Think about this in regards to your relationships as well…that age old statement that “opposites attract” takes new meaning when you now know that your partner’s annoying habits could be exactly what you need to feel centered.
