The Space Between

2/24/2014

0 Comments

 
What is “the space between”?  Is it the space between words?  Thoughts?  Feelings?  Minutes?  Finding the space between each and all of these is the definition of mindfulness.  It is bare awareness—the awareness that is not attached to any particular thought, feeling or time.  Why do we care about this?  There is calm and peace in this space.  It is a spaciousness that we are not accustomed to in our daily lives so full of worries about the future and the past.  Mindfulness meditation helps to teach us how to find this space.  It helps us to know that this space actually exists and is not a figment of our imaginations.  Practice guides us to glimpses of this space.  It allows us to access this space in the midst of all the turmoil of daily life.  With practice, we can continually enlarge this space leading to a greater sense of equanimity. We actually may find that we have more moments in our lives than we thought.
