Taking good care of ourself includes balance. We want to balance our work life with our personal life, not to overdo one or the other. We also want to balance our time to avoid being too hectic or too lazy. Underpinning these is balancing our energies. The breath is the gross aspect of our energies.

As a corollary to balancing our energies is balancing our mind. Bringing the mind into the present moment balances our mind and heart.
