Creating space can mean different things to different people.
Maybe you want to embody spaciousness because you'd like to be more comfortable with taking up more of it.
Or maybe you're feeling like there's not enough time and space for yourself,
And you'd like to embody more stillness to connect to yourself more deeply.
Maybe you could be desiring the feeling of spaciousness that happens when you feel connected to the wholeness of the universe.
The intention for today is to create the sensation of space within the body and expand the awareness to the connectedness of us to the all.
Get yourself settled,
Finding a comfortable seat or laying down.
Lay your hands by your side or gently in your lap.
Let your gaze soften,
Allowing your eyes to close.
As you bring your attention to your breath,
Focus on the center of your chest.
Feel the sensation of your chest expanding with every inhale,
Even physically.
Notice you're creating more space.
And you can make even more space by allowing the air to move and flow down into the low belly as well as the chest cavity,
Creating more of the physical experience of expansion.
And now I can take it a step further.
As you take your next inhale,
Feel what it feels like to spread your energy out past the edges of your body.
Imagine that your spirit is getting taller and wider.
With every movement of your breath,
You expand until you grow taller than the room or the space you're in and tower over it.
Keep growing your energy until you can see the whole neighborhood.
Continually visualize yourself growing and growing until you see the entirety of the country you're in.
Expand until you can see the continent and then even more until you see yourself growing as big as our world.
Keep growing.
Grow until the earth is just a small speck beneath your feet and you're growing as big as our galaxy.
Even then,
Keep growing until you're as big as the entire universe.
This is you.
You are infinitely vast and expansive.
And everyone you know and every place you've seen all exists within you.
They're all parts of you.
Imagine now all the people and places you haven't seen and how much more there is to learn about yourself.
While you're as big as the universe,
Constantly still expanding with every inhale,
Everything on earth seems so small from this perspective.
While it's an aspect of you,
There is so much more to who you are.
There is so much space between all these worlds and experiences.
At any point,
You can take a few moments and breathe while you imagine yourself expanding to this height.
You are everything.
You are an infinitely vast creator.
And you are the love pervading through all of it.
You can take your hands and put them into prayer position,
Bowing your head down in respect and love for yourself and the world we live in.
Thank you so much for meditating with me today.
