• Cathleen and David discuss the concept of balance and centeredness, agreeing that true balance in all areas of life is likely to be unachievable. Instead, David introduces a framework of ten different categories to guide individuals toward a more centred existence, focusing on a balance between divinity and physical realm beliefs.
