Your inner life is the basis for all of your experience in the outer world. Everything you sense, you process through your senses and brain. Everything that happens, you interpret in your unique manner. Everyone you meet, you deal with in your own way.
We may think we are just one small person in a big world, but when we relax into our depths, there is no limit to the spaciousness.
Some of us may not feel a lot of space inside if we are wound up with stress, trauma or defensiveness. But we can learn to breathe deep into our diaphragm / belly area, slow down, and relax at will. We can train ourselves to breathe consciously, and this will slow our heart rate. We can slow our breaths and make them fuller and deeper, which will relax any tense muscles in our body. We can do this whenever we want, wherever we are.
Do you have freedom on the inside? Do you choose your state, or are you constantly swept along torrents of happenings or emotions? Are you happy and relaxed, with the space and freedom to enjoy your imagination and creativity?
Did you know? Nobody else can control your inner state. They could lock you in a room, but your mind would still be yours. Your reaction to anything at all is your choice. Are you feeling your strength? This is true power. Others may try to coerce you, market to you, try to make you angry, but you can sit steady like a rock mountain in a breeze.
