​Two water smoothed stones meet, each polished by countless tidal actions. The bottom rounded oval stone provides no flat surface to rest upon the rough brickwork beneath, it spins and slides at the slightest touch, moving in the opposite direction to whatever you may want it to do. This is how we meet many different people, they don't fit into our patterns of thought, our ways of doing things, they do the opposite, they don't co-operate with us and won't do what we want them to do - but we need to get to know them to see what they want to do, irregardless of our interaction with them. This will be our base, the beginning, the start of our friendship and everything else naturally moves from here.

Next, the top stone, needs to find its place next to the other. To rely upon and be utterly supported, despite the pressure and extra effort it will bring to bear on the rested position of the other. They have to work together, without communication, knowledge or understanding the nature or intention of the other, what it is doing, where it may want to go. Each tiny imperceptible move, one by one symbiotically and naturally acts upon the other until there is a perfected co-ordination created between them joining forces. The top balance stone seeks to slide down the slope of the base stone until friction finds an anchor and locks it in place. The weight of the top stone seeks to topple it over in every single direction and you can feel the power of gravity working on every single slight adjustment never letting go, always paying attention to your every precise move. The overhanging top of the stone has to precisely coordinate the downward pull of its protruding opposite side which gives it the grounded balance needed to 'find its place' wherever that may be. It will fight every single step of the way and it is only planning, perseverance, patience, harmony and focused concentration that will overcome this personal battle and leave its victory as a manifested statue to gaze upon marking the triumph and conflict overcome. The war between the heart and mind that takes place in all of us everyday, in every single thing we do, say and become.

The Laws of Nature never give up, they have no limits of power or endurance, they never fail or stop working. If we find our own nature, we can be like this, it is already part of us. Find your own true nature and all these forces and powers are yours to naturally command through application, thought, will and intention. They are built into everyone under the Law of One, we are natural forces present in human form. Seek to find your balance between your nature (the top stone) and what is natural for you to become manifest and grounded to the earth (the bottom stone).

You too, are a Force of Nature.

​There are many variations of pictures that can be taken to demonstrate the balance. Focusing on the surface material of the stone takes attention away from the delicacies of the single point balance between them but provides the aesthetics of the temporary union.

Often, just the shadowed silhouette is enough to show the delicate precision of the relationship between the two stones joining as one, overcoming gravity, friction, wind pressure to create the precise equilibrium of balance and connection.

A beautiful river scene with plenty of willing Stone candidates to take part in a Stone Balancing class with the wonderful Fiona Paul over from UK.

Patience and perseverance help to learn the nature of gravity, friction and balance of the stones whilst finding an inner connection with peace and awareness of the moment, moving, adjusting with focused perception - until the energetic 'click' when the stones reveal their final resting place.
No certificates needed, Mother Nature presents her own reward. Harmony between intention and nature becoming sculptured in stone.
