Alignment within Yourself

In addition to exploring the invisible dimensions of service, we encourage people to connect this dimension to their outward actions of service with greater awareness.  This means bringing into harmony the mind – intellectual and cognitive thoughts and constructs; the heart – emotional and psychological aspect; and action – physical and tangible movements. 

Most of us can relate to the feeling in our gut when we are doing something (action) that we know we don’t agree with (mind).  This is the feeling of being out of alignment.  Through the process of conscious awareness, we correct the action, or we shift our way of thinking about the situation so that greater harmony, or alignment is created between our mind, our heart and our actions.  The most essential element of this continual process is deep knowledge of oneself.  Knowing what you value, having a sense of your unique tendencies or patterns of behavior, and understanding some of the ways you get caught out of alignment are all very useful. 

With that knowing, as situations arise when you feel out of alignment, you can pause and take a moment to reflect upon what might be going on with your thoughts, emotions, or actions.  Adjusting your mind, heart, and actions moment to moment is how you maintain alignment.
