Space
noun 1. a continuous area or expanse which is free, available, or unoccupied.
2. the dimensions of height, depth, and width within which all things exist and move.
This is an interesting topic because taking up space is relative to each person depending on different activities, or even even they feel it to be a physical space or an energetic one. I'd have to say that I feel like I am taking up the most space when I am practicing yoga. The reason why is because energetically, I am reaching through my fingertips, I am grounding down through my mat, I am using my body and energy to exceed the space around me. Mentally, I imagine myself bigger than I am, and breathing in much more air and exhaling more around me. When I do this, I leave class feeling proud or in a better place to make decisions. I feel as if I can be fully aware, and present with all of my being.
I am curious to how you feel. I think although this is a smaller journal entry, that it's definitely worth thinking about. I believe it is so good to know and feel what gives you most power and control of your own life.
Let us know!
XOXO,
Mak
