Description

Equilibrium is a calm state of mind. It provides a physical balance within a circular motion. The circle provides no beginning or ending in space. With careful alignment, one can create a sense of unity through mind, body, and spirituality. The colors are chosen by spatial arrangement. The wrapping of the cording provided the insight to the mystical dance of whirling dervishes. A trance state of mind that empowers equilibrium.
