Life is like a tightrope walk! Perfection is perfect balance, but the norm is to lose balance then regain balance.
DONT FORGET TO REGAIN BALANCE-- if you've had a stress full day at work don't then go home and continue stressing.. go home and relax as much as you have stressed. (it is better to not get stressed in the first place)
It has been proven that you can change your mood by listening to different types of music.. Some music will give you engery (literally) and some will have a calming, relaxing effect. So in order to balance... its (I think) better to listen to a lot of different types of music!
"The idea of balance is shown by the eastern idea of Yin and Yang. Male and Female, Light and Dark, High and Low, East and West, Black and White and so on.
extract from Taichido.Com
The Yin / Yang Symbol 1. The circle symbolizes the wholeness and infinity of chi. There is no beginning nor ending, and pervades through everything. This outer circle is the cosmos that contains the yang (light) and the yin (dark). 2. The dividing line between the two sectors is a curved one. This denotes movement and a constant flowing of yin into yang and yang into yin. It signifies the eternal motion of the combined elements. 3. Within the largest portion (when it has peaked and grown as big as it possibly can) of each colour there is a dot of the opposing colour. This can be considered as a small seed. Therefore we see that there is a small black dot (seed) in the white section and a small white dot (seed) in the black section. Everything contains the seed of its opposite within it. This is symbolic that all things contain both yin and yang. 4. The two colours are in equal proportion, equally balanced. When there is more of one aspect, then there is less of the other."

Yin and Yang although two seperate cannot exist without each other. Just as day and night cannot exist without each other.
So don't forget to walk the tightrope of life, with balance, if you loose your balance, regain your balance, as all tightrope walkers will tell you is essential!
In Buddisism there are daily chants which sometimes can resonate at a very high level of conscieness. You don't have to follow Buddisism or even know about Buddisism to appriecate these chants...
Chant 1
Chant 2
Here are some amazing lines from various Sutras I have read which really make to think (to make an understatement) to meditate on these ideas are some Buddist monks life times work!
