Today’s meditation is about synchronizing the body and mind. When the body is fully interconnected with the mind through the brain, it can serve as a reliable foundation for every aspect of our success.
To do this, the body has two basic needs: balance and bio-rhythms. The body maintains balance, or homeostasis, through feedback mechanisms – physical, mental, and emotional.
The other requirement for the body is setting its functioning in harmony with its natural bio-rhythms. Irregular eating and sleeping habits, for example, can throw off our hormones and affect our moods and mental acuity.
Our meditation today will strengthen this mind-body connection to create balance and help our bodies sync with the bio-rhythms of Nature.

“To keep the body in good health is a duty, otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.” ~ Buddha
OUR CENTERING THOUGHT:
I let body and mind act in harmony
OUR SANSKRIT MANTRA:
“Om Ram Ramaya”
Perfect balance energizes my body.
Journal Questions
For your mind and body to work together to create balance, the mind must be responsive and the body must be adaptable enough to return to a resting state. Recall a time when you had to respond to a stressful situation, and your mind and body worked together to quickly bring you back into balance.
Bio-rhythms are Nature’s patterns of motion that keep the body functioning smoothly. Since disruption of our bio-rhythms is typically due to the mind, not the body, what mental choices can you make that will support your body’s biorhythms?
Since sleep is our most important bio-rhythm, what three things can you do to ensure you get a full and deep sleep every night?
