VLOG 19 Rock Balancing

Our family has a really neat hobby that I'd love to share with you.  This past year we took up rock balancing as one of the ways that we sometimes spend our evenings.  Rock balancing is an art that has been practiced for many years and is as simple as balancing rocks on their tips or ends or any other interesting nook that you may find on your rock. 

Anyone can rock balance.  It is fun to get out in nature and is something that the whole family can get in on.  Even young kids love to get into the "rock stacking" if they aren't where they can find the balance yet. 

Also, we spend so much of our lives disconnected from the world around us and rock balancing is a great way to reconnect.  You can feel the solidarity of the rocks and it is a great way to be reminded that the world is more than our computers and cellphones.

For our fun we simply got some rocks from our woods and around our yard and plopped them all down in our front flower bed and started balancing away.

I love the art because of the stillness of mind and body that it requires.  It is really hard to balance rocks when your mind is racing or your body is in inner chaos.  You literally have to become the balance that you want to see.

We love you all deeply.  Have a wonderful day!
