space.
The theme of yesterday’s yoga class was all about creating space - not just in the physical body, but also in our minds and in our lives as well. In art there’s a concept known as “white space”, which refers to the portion of a page that is left unmarked. Indeed, this blank space is considered an important design element which enables the objects on the page to even exist at all.
Sometimes it seems that we’re so focused on creating this image of our ideal lives, colouring in our reality with our many hopes and dreams that we forget that every once in a while, the most important and worthwhile thing we can do is simply create emptiness, allowing the space for what is within to breathe and exist. Rather than continuously chasing things that are beyond our reach at any given moment, we can reap the abundance of our own gifts by allowing ourselves the capacity to receive them. Every single second is so ripe with opportunity; all we have to do is open up and make room to invite it all in.
