Balancing comes before governing. At least with kings and princes, this was the case for a long time. In aristocratic circles, strict attention was paid to ”keeping one's composure“ in every situation – at least externally. A monarch should also express his or her sovereignty through posture. This was already trained in early childhood. To teach young princes and princesses to be graceful while walking the private tutor put a thick book on their heads, and they then walked down the long corridors in the palace. If the book slipped off their heads, they had to start the exercise over again. Models and actresses still use this method to learn to move elegantly. The women in Ghana can only smile about the fact carrying a book on their heads. Because when they go to the market they carry grain sacks, boxes or water jugs on their heads. Apart from a small piece of fabric, they do not need any tools. Even heavy loads seem to balance easily on their heads. This traditional form of load transport has been popular in many African countries for millennia.
But how do these women manage to walk relaxed with heavy loads on their heads? When trying to repeat this performance on a treadmill in Europe, the test subjects only could do it for a few minutes. A Belgian researcher finally succeeded in revealing the secret of the water carriers. He found out that the women in Ghana use a special way of walking when carrying loads. Usually our hips move up and down as we walk. As a result, a lot of ”motion energy” is lost. The women in Ghana, on the other hand, take the swing of their hips with them in the forward movement. Avoiding the up and down movements relieves the pressure on the hip and the body needs much less strength. In addition, since the sequence of movements becomes softer, it is easier to balance something on the head.
Staying in balance and making sure that no energy is lost is also a good motto for the challenges of everyday life. Because an unbalanced lifestyle and unbalanced eating habits can quickly have a negative impact on our well-being. There is usually a balance between acids and bases in our body. But if this relation is out of balance, our metabolism can ”overacidify“. This can be triggered by too little sleep, stress, excessive alcohol and nicotine consumption or an unbalanced diet. Conversely, a conscious lifestyle can support the acid-base balance.
When searching for inner balance, it is helpful to ask: what is good for me and what can I do without? In everyday life it can help to enjoy a cup of tea in a quiet moment.
