Taking up Space

In my practice I notice that many people have a hard time taking up space. They have a hard time even taking their own space. I don't mean retreating away from people to take your solo time to recover. I mean taking up your physical and emotional space, owning it.

For some reason there seems to be a common disconnect from feeling things and allowing yourself to feel those feelings. Often times it seems to be from some internal concept that it is hard to take up space. That if we take up space we take away from someone else.

However there is a truth to taking ownership of yourself and your space. There is a deep truth that honors who we are and what we feel. That truth can unlock so much power, drive and infinite wealth of possibilities I think that we fear what is within.

This is all abstract, sub conscious. But if we can point our conscious effort towards taking up our space then we can move towards that. Help our abstract, subconscious self take up that space and own our physical space. Stand up straight, breathe, speak loudly, enunciate. And our emotional space, feel our feelings and express them.
