Dynamic balance is a term that is commonly used in physiology and mechanics. In the physical sense, it can be understood to mean that something is able to maintain balance while in motion or switching positions.
This can apply to the dynamic balance of a spinning top. It can also be seen in the dynamic balance of a yoga student standing on one leg in tree pose.
When we break this term apart, we get two separate words with meanings of their own.
Dynamic (an adjective) – describes a process or system that is characterized by constant change, activity, or progress.
Balance (as a noun) – a condition in which different elements are in the correct proportions.
Balance (as a verb) – to keep or put something in a steady position so that it does not fall.
How does this relate to staying calm in the midst of chaos and change?
Applying the term dynamic balance to daily life, we come up with a system by which we keep ourselves in a steady state regardless of the chaos or change that is happening around us.
Sometimes staying steady is a good thing. Sometimes it’s not. With awareness and insight, you can determine when change is needed.
