Take three small cups or bowls. Fill the first with a pinch of salt (earth), the second with a few drops of water, the third leave empty (air). Contemplate an area of your life needing balance. Combine the salt and water in the empty cup, stirring with your finger. As you stir, whisper, 'I seek not perfection, but the proportion that brings harmony.' Then pour the mixture onto the soil of a houseplant or down the drain.
