The very act of acceptance/allowing will balance/bring equanimity. When one accepts with non-judgement, there is no right or wrong, no pain or pleasure, one simply observes what is with a view to allow/receive/affirm/become aware, not for the sake of self, but in order to gain understanding of the other (STO) ... & in so doing we find we accept self that much more fully... more fully to the extent that now the being/object/event being observed/accepted is joined to our own field of consciousness in such a way that both become more fully self-realized/actuated. This is the grandness of receptive experience (in contract to rejective). (The seeming exception to what i say here, would be if we were speaking of ingesting a poisonous substance into our boi-system ... in this case the rejection (non-acceptance) of the poisonous substance would be the balancing action, as also it would be if one did ingest a poison, the purging of self / rejection would be the balancing action ... so there are exceptions to the rule ... u can say the same about some circumstances that we can encounter emotionally/psychicly/environmentally that could/would be toxic to a healthy systems functioning. So in such instances, the seeming act of rejecting, is in fact accepting... accepting of the life/light/love principle ... so in fact these instances are not exceptions at all.)
