Let's talk a bit about creating space.
We are cluttered,
Cluttered with things from the past,
Cluttered with things from the present and everything around us and the constant stimulus and our needs and our wants and our thoughts and our emotions and we are cluttered from ideas about the future and ideas about religion,
Spirituality,
Politics,
Worries,
Anxieties.
Let's create a bit of space today and let's just focus on creating room to feel good about ourselves and learning how to do that more often and in any situation.
First of all we need to see a bit of what we identify as our clutter because there are clutters we identify and there are ones who are stuck within the closet,
You know,
The kind of thing,
Oh I'm just going to throw this in here and forget about it for a while and we actually do forget about it for a while and when we clean and have a deep cleaning we understand that somewhere along the lines we kind of,
Ok I'm just going to surrender and go and flow as I go.
But maybe we lose our sense of integrity,
You know,
Integrity and the sense of being whole,
Of feeling wholesome and we particularly lose the sense of uniqueness within ourselves and if you're into spirituality nowadays it's all about feeling the best you can be,
Limitless,
Amazing and I don't think spirituality is about that,
I think it's about being in tune with ourselves and being in a calm way,
Respectful of everything and feeling kind because when we feel like we are kind and we are good people that's when we feel best about ourselves and there's a reason for that,
There's a valid reason for that and so all the clutter we start to see is all the obstacles to that,
Right?
All the things we think,
Oh my god this thing doesn't let me feel free to be myself or this particular thing,
This particular notion allows me to feel way too heavy about the whole thing,
The whole process,
The whole thing and we find fugues,
We find fugues about it and we try to run away to things like social media and the time we spend scrolling Instagram or Facebook or another social media app and we lose touch and when we begin to create this space to find that calm and that kindness towards ourselves and others we start to see that a lot of it does not matter.
It's not said that the only way to truly live a meaningful,
Happy,
Fulfilled,
Manifested life is to be a genuinely good person and when you embark on that particular journey because not a lot of people have the guts to do it but when we do embark on that particular journey we start seeing real effort it is and it's not about.
.

It's the same like when we are dealing with our parents for example,
Particularly I'm almost 34 years old and particularly now I'm dealing with an aging mother who is starting to come to terms with her aging self and I'm starting to come to terms with my not so younger self of the early 20s and what I see a lot is an inability to connect to that because her life and this is something I really had to accept my parents life was never about me.
I was in it and I am important for them of course but it was not about me and my life is not about them and that is true for every single person we meet and the more we try to deny that the more we lose sense with ourselves and our integrity and our uniqueness.
So let's do a little meditation exercise for this let's close our eyes sit comfortably lay down try not to have your legs crossed for this because it's important you feel the blood flow circulating so try to stretch your legs if you can and just feel comfortable just feel the most comfortable you can sometimes I meditate in like a little spoon position you know it's fine it's okay as long as we feel the stillness.
Okay let's just take a long deep breath and just relax in ourselves our bodies that we are just relax for a bit and then breathe again take a long deep breath again and exhale all the stress out if you can you can ask your body to release your stress oh just sigh in oh feel the relief just gently settle down within the breath feeling the breath observing the breath now take a few moments to just observe how the thoughts pass it's fine if you can just imagine how the thoughts pass it's wonderful to help you understand all this and be here it's wonderful to be intelligent and to think about things hello friendly thoughts and if the thoughts are not friendly just hello friendly thoughts.
Observe how in this awareness you just create some space already even if it's space to think that's important too you know sending internal space to think about something and now let's go a little deeper and try to feel how your body reacts to all this is it dance is this relaxed is it tingling anywhere try to breathe into the uncomfortable areas don't get sucked in into why they're uncomfortable just breathe into it and allow the uncomfortability to leave now let's just remember one one time we felt really good really happy and free and ready to take on life and be the best we could be maybe in childhood or early youth maybe recently if you can't remember anything try to feel the feeling just feel yourself ready to be the best you can be it's a wonderful feeling because it's so empowering now feel the center of your chest is it warm is it longing or something I feel like I could really just sit back a bit right now and just relax into this feeling now take notice of your thoughts again are they more mellow the constant chatter is there maybe it is maybe we don't need to pay attention to it right now let's try to find the silence just take attention to your breath feel the awareness of the breath there isn't a need to do anything to please anyone just be you oh wonderful liberating feeling okay now take a deep breath feel your toes feel your fingers move them a bit come back to the room open your eyes if you want or just be there it's really okay to love ourselves let's nobody tell us otherwise have a wonderful day
