Space is crucial to our life experience. There are activities that open space, and those that close it down.
What are the activities in your life that give you a sense of openness, potential, flexibility, mobility?
I've bee thinking about this in regard to the physical spaces we occupy in society: offices, streets, shops, restaurants. The layout of physical spaces, but also their energy, send signals that effect our internal space.
This is not to say the outside is dictating the inside: if the internal world is more developed, then the ability to interpret external spaces and events for our own use is stronger.
But there is an effect, and the majority of spaces, especially public, but also often private, feel restrictive. They're either designed to steer us in a certain direction, or close off certain directions, or otherwise aren't designed consciously at all.
What spaces do you inhabit on a daily, weekly basis? What have you notices about how they effect your internal state?
What's one space that had an inspiring or releasing effect on you?
