Last month in my weekend training at Chesapeake Bay Alexander Studies (in Greensboro, NC) my director, Robin Gilmore, mentioned this phrase - "tyranny of symmetry". I didn't have my note book in front of me so I failed to write down the context of this phrase. But for some reason the phrase has kept swirling around in my noggin.
A lot of questions have been popping up more than answers:
- When is symmetry tyrannical?
- How does symmetry differ from balance?
- Is it possible to find balance (in my Self) when I'm not symmetrical?
Right now, I think that I need balance much more than symmetry. I can be balanced without being symmetrical and I could also be symmetrical without being balanced. So... symmetry becomes tyrannical when it is the goal (the End). If I let go of the need to be symmetrical, maybe I will enjoy the process of balance a little more... and actually be more balanced!
I like applying this to other areas of my life as well... I think finding balance is incredibly important in livig a healthy life.
