Emptiness

Emptiness has become my good friend. When I feel empty, I watch life move through me, guiding me, operating me, doing what needs to happen in the moment. I experience being there with the emptiness but I am not in charge and that is a kind of freedom like no other.

Our minds associate emptiness with something bad or lonely or powerless or dead. In fact, the opposite is the case. Life arises and brings with it a sense of completeness and naturalness.

To invite emptiness, become still. Meditate, even for a few minutes. Sit quietly with a cup of tea and breathe. Allow all of the content to settle until nothing is left but emptiness.
