By Guru Rattana, Ph.D.
Creating our inner space is an on-going aspect of life. Our inner space is what makes it possible to feel stable, whole and content. May the words below inspire and guide you to nurture and hold the space for your truth.
Holding a space within is about alignment.
In this case, doing nothing is doing something very special.
We clear our internal space so that we can line up
with the universe
with our higher self
with the forces of nature
with the most advantageous possibilities.
Potentially everything is possible.
Yet it is our inner space that determines
what is probable
what can occur
what will actually happen.
We can help the best possible solution to occur by being
consciously available
patiently receptive
securely at home in our body.
Creating a space is about
removing the blocks
turning down the static
eliminating the interference
turning off the red lights.
Space is an open arena in our psyche. Space is
non-verbal
non-intentional
without preconceptions of what
should be
could be
actually is.
*** Cultivating Our Space ***
The goal of space is to get out of the way.
The nature of space is receptive.
Space is the feminine aspect of being-
open
fertile
expansive.
The purpose of holding a space is to create room for the Truth
to penetrate our being
to define our actions
to nurture our soul
to impact our environments.
Our intention is to create a sacred space for the Truth to live.
To invite in the Truth we must cultivate a place within which is
peaceful
quiet
calm
still.
We must simply BE in our space without
input
requests or
demands.
When our inner space is in a state of commotion, the Truth
ricochets off
gets distorted
is disturbed
does not feel at home.
The task of space is to cultivate
awareness of body, mind and emotions
the ability to observe
the mindfulness of being
the cognizance of consciousness
the sensation of being present
the art of making each moment sacred.
*** Our Playing Field ***
The tricky aspect of space is that if you do not hold it, it dissipates.
And so does the Truth.
Our mind succumbs to mass consciousness.
Our psyche reverts to subconscious programming.
Truth is like water.
It needs a container or it dribbles out.
It needs a clear vessel or it gets polluted with our
fears
frustrations
commotions
random thoughts
and societal lies.
Space is our playing field where we co-create with the universe.
We may think that we call the shots.
But if our field is muddy with negative emotions, they will run our show.
What we project to the universe is distorted and misunderstood.
Our goal is to co-create from love, not from fear.
In a clear space we can identify and relate to three levels of truth-
our personal truth--
our energetic identity
what works for us
circumstantial truth-
what is actually happening and why
uncensored and uninterpreted by our ego
universal truth-
what is
was and
will always be
true.
*** Our Womb of Creation ***
Creating a sacred space is an "activity" that we must learn to value.
Space is a place where empty is full. Full of
possibilities to be birthed
potential to be expressed
raw energy ready to be claimed
spirit ready to be manifested
our soul eager to be embodied.
Our sacred space is our womb of creation.
Our seeds are planted in this space.
Everything we do is born from this space.
All events in our lives unfold from this space.
How are we nurturing our seeds?
With fear or with love?
With anger or with acceptance?
Is there room to comfortably grow?
Or are the conditions crowded?
Space is where we create the fertile ground
for joyful growth to take place
for wonderful things to happen
for something special to be created
for magic and miracles to occur.
How do we cultivate, protect and monitor our space?
We get up early and join the space of the universe.
When we leave the house, we take our space with us, tucked safely inside
our heart.
At each pause in the conversation, we hold our sacred space.
In intervals in activities, we reconnect with our sacred space.
We do our best to keep consciously connected to our heart at all times.
*** Relating to Our Sacred Space ***
When in doubt about what to do, create a space for it to happen.
When in limbo, create a space to obtain clarity.
When frustrated, create a space to calm yourself down.
When stressed, slow down and reestablish your harmonic rhythm.
When upset, create a space to restore balance.
When in doubt, be silent and listen to the truth.
When blocked or confused, clean house.
Do not clutter your space with
what you think you have to do
what you are afraid will happen
your limited interpretation of the events.
Your sacred space is your haven where you can
stop
regroup
reorient your thoughts
reposition yourself
realign your actions.
Your sacred space is where you
open yourself up to receive instructions
allow yourself to be guided
prepare yourself for strategic action
accept things the way they are.
When your space is clear, events can unfold
easily
effortlessly
lovingly
because you are
at peace
not resisting
not trying to make things happen.
because your light is an irresistible magnet.
You can put your requests on the periphery.
You can define your borders and set your boundaries.
But the less restrictive you are, the greater the playing field.
The more general and all inclusive requests are the best-
well-being and health
a loving solution
to achieve what you came here to do.
*** A Requirement to BE ***
To create a sacred space we must
let go
reorient
realign
return home.
When we are creating a sacred space "nothing" is a lot.
It is where we come back to zero
so that we can anchor in.
It is our starting point
where we initiate.
It is where our act of surrendering to the Unknown
releases the struggle.
In the world of do, do, do, we must give ourselves permission to BE.
To create a sacred space is not only a legitimate activity, it is a
requirement.
It is required for our own
sanity
peace
poise.
It is required for optimal creation to occur.
It is required for something new to be born.
It is our sacred space that allows us
to free ourselves from the bonds of past karma
to accomplish things with less effort
to lovingly support ourselves
to let the Truth guide us and the universe assist us each step of the way.
