No doubt, life balance is one of the most important things in the Law of Attraction. Indeed, we may notice this only when we are off balance and begin reaping the results of having been off balance for some lengthy period of time, at which point it is often too late. Nevertheless, on some nonphysical plane we seem to have a mechanism similar to the physical mechanism in our inner ear which tells us when we are off balance and which gives us the opportunity to correct our position gravitationally before we stumble or fall.

Too frequently, however, we cannot hear the warnings of this Life Balance monitoring mechanism, and the results are loss of attraction, loss of health, loss of relationships, loss of productivity, loss of aliveness and authenticity, and, most ironically, frequently the loss of the very things—job, family, friends—for which you may think you can go out of balance in the first place and for which you may have turned to the Law of Attraction.

Balance is, after all, the natural state of the Universe. Even water seeks its own level. There have been hundreds of studies of ecological balance around the globe and of the local disasters that occur when that balance is disrupted by the introduction of some new species foreign to the locality. Examples of this phenomenon include zebra mussels, gypsy moths, mute swans, nutria, the water chestnut, purple loosestrife, and the kudzu vine. Each of these animal and plant species had an appropriate niche in its own ecological system, but their introductions into foreign ecologies have been nothing short of catastrophic: Non-native species spread rapidly because the predatory checks and balances of their native ecologies are missing, and they then displace native plants and animals further up the food chain—including endangered species.

Indeed, you may remember the balance upset recently caused by the northern snakehead (Channa argus), a top-level predator fish native to China that was found in a small pond in Crofton, Maryland. It was dubbed the “Frankenfish” by the press because of its uncanny ability to breathe air and travel short distances over dry land. When an unwitting local resident released into a pond two specimens that had grown too large for his aquarium, the pond’s ecological balance was upset. In the end, authorities decided to kill all the vegetation in the pond by the application of herbicides, thus starving the animal life of oxygen, and then to complete the elimination of the snakehead—and all the other native species of animals and plants—by releasing poison into the pond. They plan to restock the pond when it is certain that no snakeheads are remaining.

So, in the Universe and in the Law of Attraction, balance is everything.

Stumble It!
