**This challenges asks you how balance might play a role in health - whether it's a healthy mind, healthy body or healthy earth, we LOTUS folk know it's all related. Here's a few topics that might assist you in this theme:** - How has focussing 'too much' on one thing caused health problems in our society, and what can we do about it? For example, over focus on production at the cost of mental health, overdevelopment at the cost of the environment, too much sugar at the expense of our body's inflammatory response? - How does a lack of balance in our diet impact our gut health, heart health, or any other specific body system? - How might we maintain a work life balance? - What do balancing postures in yoga teach us? - Should we absolutely deny modern medicine in favour of 'alternative' practices, or is a balance required? - What herbs might help us achieve balance in our lives? - What happens when 'things' - whatever that is for you - are 'out of balance' or awry? - What does astrology have to teach us about balance? - How can we achieve a balance of nutrients in our diets on a budget? - When have you been 'out of balance' or 'unbalanced' and what did you do about it? You don't have to write on any of these topics and may choose your own - as long as it is loosely (or very tightly!) based on the theme 'balance' and 'naturalmedicine'. **Please make sure you post a link to your entries under THIS post for the remainder of March, or they won't be counted. Please ensure you read all the rules outlined in the original post and *don't forget to reblog this entry and engage with others in the community*.** Here are the posts so far!
