Great slogan, but badly overused, misused, and misunderstood.
Each component must be individually balanced.
A balanced mind is more than watching tv.
A balanced body requires effort to attain and more effort to maintain.
A balanced spirit is impossible without a balanced body + balanced mind first.
You tell me. Who do you know who has a balanced mind / body / spirit?
A balanced mind / body / spirit is called a "Bodhisattva" or "Buddha" in Buddhism.
A balanced mind / body / spirit is called a "Saint" in the Catholic religion.
A balanced mind / body / spirit is called a "Wonderful Kid" by parents.
A balanced mind / body / spirit is NOT on job resumes.
A balanced mind / body / spirit is NOT what they teach in school.
So how is it done?
It's a big topic. I will share what I know, share what I learn, and show you what's worked before.
I'm planning to do podcasts from both our Shaolin Records recording studio and our classes and Buddhist Sangha meetings. I'm looking forward to it.
