Level

.
All in all we like things to be level. We like the ‘level playing field’, we prefer to be ‘on a level’ with those around us; and it seems to be in our best interest to be ‘level-headed’. On top of that, our paths are easiest when the surface is level, and if at all possible we may leave things to find their own level… In other words, whether we read it forward or backward; ‘level’ is something we find agreeable.

No matter how much we like this particular brand of balance, we still tend to look at it as something that is outside of ourselves. Something that we can choose to interact with; something that can help us in our lives as long as we make sure we are on the level.

And yet, when you think about it level headedly, this balanced state can only truly function in our lives when it is something that is experienced within ourselves first…
From the most physical perspective it is about creating a balanced special structure; our skeleton, muscles, organs; in short, bringing our physical selves into balance. When we do this, we may well find that this has a huge impact on our emotional balance. When we are ‘standing strong’, we feel empowered, which in turn permits us to be successful at pretty much anything we set our minds to.
When we feel empowered, it is like the playing field is leveled almost automatically…

In other words, when we don’t have an inner, even physical balance, it becomes harder and harder for us to relate to the world around us in a level way.
This also means that we can gauge our balance through how we interact with the world around us. When we feel the need to put in an extraordinary effort to achieve our goals, we may feel we are not playing on a level playing field at all. The same is true when we feel like we have to defend ourselves every step of the way; defend our viewpoints, defend our decisions, defend our actions; it is fairly often a signal that we are uncertain of where we stand in life; an uncertainty that may well give us a feeling we are not on the level with what is going on around us.

Looking at it this way seems to give a perspective from where our everyday lives interact with our body language. This in turn implies that it is our body language as much as anything that helps us being level ~ both within and without…
