Take Up Space Expanding Tree Meditation

Don't be afraid to take up space! So often we shrink ourselves to fit into the world as is. Everywhere we go, we are supposed to be something, someone, somehow else. Let go of this lie and expand yourself. Take root, grow big! Move past the noise of modern life and find your inner expansive self. Let that self grow and thrive.
