Finding Our Balance

What we do when we lose contact is we go up into our heads. In our heads, we try to figure things out and try to understand things. We try to find a way to make sense of things, and what we hope to do is to find our balance. But what I am suggesting is we're finding our balance in the wrong place. Because if we go into our heads, we go into concept, and we go into understanding. We just take what we believe and know and try to find some way to make ourselves feel better. In that process, we totally lose connection to what actually is going on in the moment.
