How do you balance light and dark?

Finding the balance

Balance is one of the most difficult things for humans to find on this planet. However, now more than ever, we need to find what makes us feel most balanced to ensure we maintain inner equilibrium. One of the ways I find balance is through my daily routine. Every morning, I begin my day with a guided meditation, followed by 20 minutes of silent meditation. This gives me a calm mind to start my day. After my cappuccino and breakfast, I get on my yoga mat to balance out my body and get grounded. Then I grab my journal and set my intention for the day, and write for a page or two to capture my experiences, feelings, and thoughts. This helps me resolve anything that I may be going through, which always leads to gratitude for all things. If you need help finding the balance, please consider scheduling a session or working with me long term. Together we can discover what helps you feel most balanced and in control when things are spiralling out of control.

Find balance with the Generosity Dress

The Generosity Dress is one piece that will leave you feeling balanced with a hidden pocket pouch, generous skirt, and comfortable bodice. Have it in any color or material. Just give me your measurements, and we will get started on making you a one of a kind piece to add to your wardrobe to wear for years to come. In this capitalistic society, we can get weighed down by our belongings. If you're anything like me, you may be trying to downsize or become minimalistic so that you truly love every piece of clothing that you own. Join the revolution of retail, and kick fast fashion to the curb. It really is harmful to our environment and wasteful as a society. Find the balance with discovering pieces that truly express who you are (and who you want to be). Stop wasting money on pieces that fall apart or are no longer in fashion after a season. Invest in yourself and your clothing. And know that with each purchase, a portion goes to the fight against cancer. Less really is more.

The Substitute & The Substitute Society

Start your spring off right with The Substitute. It will give you more pep in your step, energy for the duration of the day, and clarity to help the day go by more smoothly. Try it and see how it changes your life. It brings you from the darkness into the light, not to mention how light it feels in your hand as you walk through life with confidence. Having The Substitute by your side can help you deal with any emotional, mental, or physical issue that may come up. Retain your equilibrium by consciously breathing your way through it. The Substitute is the ultimate accessory that not only looks good, but feels good too. You'll see and feel the difference when you just breathe through it all. When you feel off balance, try inhaling an exhaling a few times. The breath heals and is life, after all. Balance is never far from us...

Intimate Conversations with Lady Kendra

Join me every Monday at 21 CET on Instagram Live as I talk about life and such. This is my way to have a conversation with the world about some subjects that may be taboo or touchy. For me, there is no such thing. Please feel free to leave a comment or ask a question. This week I talked about dreams and next week I will discuss promises. Be a part of the conversation in person from 19-21 at The Art of Style (reservations required) and follow the journey @kendraleonard...

Mindfulness & Movement

I also invite you to join me every Wednesday morning from 10-11 am as I share my mediation and yoga practice with the community. This is a safe space where all are welcome. No experience is required. For March, the focus is on the solar plexus, which is directly linked to your sense of self. This energy center is associated with your self-esteem, sense of purpose, personal identity, individual will, digestion, and metabolism. This chakra acts as the body’s energy powerhouse. When spinning properly, the solar plexus chakra allows energy to flow, but if it becomes blocked or clogged, you may find yourself feeling powerless, stagnant, or quick to anger. When it is out of alignment, digestive issues can arise. But when the solar plexus chakra is in healthy alignment, you will be comfortable with your own inherent power and become more empowered. You will have a sense of who you are and why you are here. When you connect with your purpose, you gain a deeper understanding of how you as an individual can contribute to the collective in a beneficial way. This is the Age of Aquarius after all -be an authentic individual, and show up for your community. You will let go of the things—whether it’s your job or bank account balance—that you depend on to define who you are. Those things may have value, but overvaluing anything that subject to change is a quick road to suffering. You have inherent value; take the time through practice to investigate it, and you will be less dependent on external sources of happiness. Come with an open heart and mind, and feel your body unwind. Love yourself.
