Central Equilibrium

A friend pointed out to me recently that central equilibrium is, in many ways, an energetic, spiritual and karmic extension of Newton's Third Law of Motion – that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. We all know from school that if we want our hands to push forwards then our feet must push (the ground) backwards. Here we take the support of the ground for granted and generally trust it implicitly. However, to get energy flowing from the ground and into the object we are pushing, we must also trust the object, because if we are thoroughly relaxed then the feet and the hands are equalized: what happens between us and the object is the same as what happens between us and the ground. To get energy to flow we must trust the Earth not as a hard surface upon which to purchase, but as a supply of energy: a source we extend into and which thereby extends (its energy and presence) into us.
