Hey True North, meet True South!

If we find we have unbalanced energy within our life, causing it to be a bit too one – sided with the power of ‘yang’ ruling and dominating, tilting us too much towards True North, here’s a short list of words to help us bind ourselves to True South, to re-balance our energy out, to meet back in the middle, where new life will always be:
