Let joy fill your heart
No matter what the season
Find your Middle Ground
~

No matter the weather, the season of the year or the season of your life, you can find peace within.

Find your Middle Ground is about stepping away from stressful days and anxious minds, and taking time to pause. What better time of year than late autumn, to pause, let go and settle in for a while. It’s the way of nature, after all.

When we take time to become present, and to embrace whatever is arising within us, we allow our life energy to flow. We open the door to healing, and our natural state of being โ€“ accepting, loving, kind and content. Most of us are so distracted and moving so fast that we get caught up in the world of โ€œdoingโ€ or worrying about what we should be doing.
Too much doing and thinking disconnects us from our sense of Being and our true nature.

I write about finding this deep place of connection, contentment and peace in the highs and lows of life. I call it our Middle Ground.

Namaste

โ— About Me

My name is Val Boyko, a dual citizen living near Philadelphia, originally from Scotland.

This blog came to life one morning in 2013.  I woke up with these words in my mind:  “Life is a series of highs and lows. Be grateful for the highs. Be graceful in the lows. And find contentment in your Middle Ground.”

Find Your Middle Ground blog started to explore, reflect, ask deep questions, share insights about awakening, and connect with wonderful people like yourself. Thank you for being here and being such an inspiration.
