The Mangrove Seed

FIRST, copy the above circle with spokes on a piece of paper. Then, score your S(s)elf from a scale of 1 to 10 using the above wheel. Beginning at the core of your Being which is the “hub of your wheel of life,” move outward and intuitively assess your “degree of satisfaction/happiness” along each of the six spokes of the wheel. Now mark your S(s)elf-assessment with an X on each spoke.

Then, connect all of the X’s with a straight line to see your “balanced wheel of life.” HOW BALANCED ARE YOU? Could you drive your car with a wheel like the one you have just created? Or, do you need more “roundness,” more balance in your wheel?

SECOND, to create a “plan for balancing,” simply mark each spoke with a score from 1 to 6 with the X closest to the outer wheel with a 6, and the X closest to the hub with a 1. Then number the remaining X’s in order from 2 to 5.

You now have a PRIORITY OF DEVELOPMENTAL WORK that needs to be completed along your daily journey to peaceful living. Start with number 1 module as that sector of your current life which needs your immediate attention, and then continue in order to the lowest priority module, the one with a 6 score.

This diagnostic test, when applied at least four times per year, will guide the balancing plan for any individual on his/her journey to recovering a balanced S(s)elf.

So, now the envelope please!

How balanced is your present life?
Does it need some re-balancing work?

When we speak of inner development and inner change, we speak of the growth of essence.

The question is not how to acquire anything new,
but to recover and reconstruct what has been lost.

You Will Benefit From The Mangrove Seed Journey If You Can Identify With Any Of These People

I feel emotionally stuck in my daily life. I want to change my life in some way, but I need more clarity and courage.
I am still grieving and unable to cope peacefully with the loss of . . . my parent, my spouse, my child, my relative, my job, my financial independence.
I grew up feeling smothered by authoritarian and/or overly protective parents. I need to break free of their conditioning and find my own way in life.
I was overlooked and often neglected by my nuclear family. Or I felt abandoned and rejected, set adrift to find my own way. I want to plant roots, to find an anchor of security in my life; I need validation and support on my life's journey.
I have not ever been able to fully express my creative impulses . . . to "speak out" and be recognized. Or I need to find a balance to the constant need to make money; to calm and center my busy life.
I have fears and resentments that plague my daily living and often set me up for non-loving thoughts and behaviors. The actual pains of my past are still affecting daily interactions in my job and homelife. I need a program of releasing these obstacles to inner peace.
I am motivated to live in emotional balance, but I need more tools, a path to follow, and support of like-minded people.
I cannot peacefully cope with my job and my family. They are causing me unbelievable stress! I need a retreat with time for myself and my needs!
My life is hectic. I’m running all day--meetings, phone calls, paperwork. But I think that I might be going nowhere, too fast! I want a time-out to examine the direction of my life.
I really need a “compass” to guide my life . . . an anchor to give my life purpose and meaning. I often get this feeling inside, that I am not doing anything that really matters!
My traditional recovery meetings are not as powerful for me anymore. I have stopped my addictions, but "something" is still missing for my long-term emotional sobriety.
I am tired of trying “quick-fix” solutions to my life. I need an on-going, holistic program which empowers me to create my own inner peace without false expectations.
I am at that “successful stage” in life, but I feel a “hole in my soul.” I want to know if my existence and life has made any difference to this world.
I have "retired" from making money, I am no longer "taking from life." Yet, I am confused and need a plan to "give-back to life."
I need to develop a more conscious spiritual path to fully S(s)elf realize who I(i) am.
