More on Equanimity

Buddhist meditators might recognize the term. It means balance of a sort. The idea is to use meditation, stretching exercises, and GART to create a balanced experience of our SELFs, and expanding consciousness is the key.
This need not be thought of in mystical or New Age terms. Expanding consciousness just means expanding our awareness and experience of ourSELFs and the world. It means getting out of our head and giving our consciousness agency over our body and vitality and mind. 
With that expanded awareness and agency you can do quite a lot.
Equanimity comes from practicing relaxed, aware conditions in our meditations and other exercises so that in our Awake Local Experience we can have some balance, robustness, and flexibility to deal with the world and its challenges. 
The point is not to have several perfect mediations a week. It’s to increase our total awareness of SELF in the world and live in that world more fully and easily. Balance is everything. Our minds, our bodies, our beings—our 3 energies of SELF—can be brought into alignment and equalized to create that living experience.
​It just takes practice. And a teacher. Or a very good app. Whatever works for you.
