I worked with an emotional and mental frustration about double-booking myself and missing out on something I really wanted to do. In the lower space of the content of my experience, I was telling a story about myself and increasing the build-up of emotion – reinforcing the emotional block – into a slight downward spiral. This space had very little \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcroom\u00e2\u20ac\u2122. The story\u00c2\u00a0 – my thoughts about myself – kept bouncing off the walls of the space I was inhabiting (or creating even, by my engagement with it) and by doing so a pressure built up.

From that initial release into greater openness, I was able to expand into space itself as a central factor in my experience. This created a sense of peace right away. It also allowed me to move into a fuller experience of space as a ground, just touching a bit a profound \u00e2\u20ac\u02dconeness\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 with no distance, and this put my sense of not being connected enough to other people at ease – we share the same fundamental basis of being, fully connected, right now. My emotions eased and my sense of missed opportunity was much lighter. I could be more spacious again in my embodiment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
