A new friend of mine from the Human Garage where I do Community Meet-Ups with inspired me to write about this. It was not particularly CHANGE she was talking about, but it doesn’t matter what you pick, it is about the inquiry within and giving it up to the universe. It goes for example like this: Ask 3 times: ‘Universe what does change smell like?’ Then wait 3 days for the answer – the universe will give/send you a sign. To some of us change brings feeling of anxiety up and for others excitement. So it is also about perception, because both of the feeling have the same energy level. What does LOVE sound like to you?
I don’t know what is more interesting to you to go into exploring more – Love or Change? Pick one. I would love to hear what you found out for yourself as you explore your senses. There is obviously no right or wrong – just a beautiful variety, like the colors of the rainbow.
I decided this is the last blog I wrote in this form. I feel the excitement of change and will do something different on this page 🙂
Lately I have been contemplating about space. Space within us, around us and all aspects of it. We use the word quite often like: making physical space – for oneself, others, things creating space – physically within oneself or in sense of time for others or things being in an other space mentally feeling space around oneself or within space between thoughts spacing out observing space need of personal space
I think the list can go on and is something worth exploring on and off the mat.
* * * What Does Space Mean Space, in its various forms, is more than emptiness – it is a dynamic entity that holds relationships, possibilities, and meaning. Whether external or internal, space shapes how we interact with the world and ourselves, making it a foundational aspect of existence.
The concept of “space” encompasses various meanings depending on context – ranging from the physical and tangible to the emotional and abstract. Here’s an exploration of its layers:
PERSONAL SPACE Personal space refers to the physical and psychological boundaries individuals maintain to feel secure, comfortable, and autonomous. * Physical Boundaries: The immediate area surrounding a person, often called their “bubble.” Varies across cultures, contexts, and relationships (e.g., intimate space, social space, public space). Protects privacy and provides comfort – violations can lead to discomfort or stress. Emotional Space: The mental boundaries that allow individuals to process feelings and maintain individuality in relationships. A need for alone time or solitude to recharge and reflect. Relational Dynamics: The negotiation of space in social settings, such as proximity in conversations or shared living arrangements. Respecting personal space fosters trust and mutual respect.
BEING IN SPACE This idea relates to the experience of occupying or existing in a specific environment, often emphasizing context and the nature of the space. * Physical Presence: Existing in a location, such as a room, park, or even the vastness of outer space. Involves sensory engagement – seeing, hearing, touching, and feeling the surroundings. Outer Space: A more expansive interpretation, referring to the universe beyond Earth. The experience of being in space involves awe, a sense of scale, and often a humbling perspective of humanity’s place in the cosmos. Symbolic Presence: Being in a space can imply participation or belonging, such as “being in a creative space” or “a safe space.” A state of engagement with the environment or community around oneself.
THE SPACE WITHIN This refers to the internal dimensions of a person – their thoughts, emotions, and spiritual essence. It often connects to introspection and self-awareness. * Mental Space: The capacity to think, imagine, and dream. A quiet, internal domain that allows for creativity, problem-solving, and personal growth. Emotional Space: The ability to process and hold emotions, whether they are one’s own or those of others. Creating space within oneself for empathy, compassion, or healing. Spiritual Space: The inner realm where one connects with a sense of purpose, meaning, or the divine. Often cultivated through practices like meditation, prayer, or reflection.

I am grateful for the safe space we share where we can be our authentic selves 🙏
In the last two months I found myself not catching a breather with all that has been going on in my life. I know I am not the only one who has been hit right and left with daily tasks and other challenges. Even though I tried to stay true to myself, it was difficult at times not to get swept away by the craziness of the world as well as of the people close and around me.
This morning I received this poem above from a dear friend of mine and it reminded me of what this time of the year is about and it reflects how I have been feeling.
Here is the translation: “Stand still and don’t rush and look at the small, quiet light. Just have time for yourself to be completely carefree. Let your senses rest and have the courage to do nothing. Let this wind world turn and have the heart not to see it. Be human again and child again and feel how happy children are. Then you are separated from all haste on the way to Advent.”
* * *
Since I have been back home I felt I needed to find my own flow to keep up with things in my pace; not feeling pressured by what is going on around me, my own perfectionism and need to please.
Slowing down amidst the chaos is a radical act of self-kindness. It’s about recognizing that productivity and purpose don’t always align with constant motion. Instead of being swept up in the rush of “everything that should be done,” slowing down allows space to reconnect with what truly matters – your own flow, your authentic rhythm.
Finding your flow means tuning into the pace that lets you align action with intention. It’s not about ignoring responsibilities but about approaching them from a place of care, not pressure. When you honor this flow, you give yourself the gift of presence, allowing moments of peace to guide you instead of the relentless pull of urgency.
Being good to oneself in this process isn’t indulgent – it’s essential. It means listening to your needs, embracing rest without guilt, and creating a life that nourishes your spirit instead of draining it. Slowing down becomes a practice of resilience, a way to stay whole in a world that often demands fragments.
With all of this in mind it is easier to listen within and be good to myself and do what resonates with it.
The last years I was earlier with our intention setting, but it is never too late 😉

I am wishing you all a wonderful & peaceful Season filled with gratitude.
I was listening to the recording of David Whyte’s first Sunday of three about “A matter of life and death”. It strikes me interesting that I signed up for it before my mother died and now listening to it he talks about his mother’s death.
But what really hit home was what he said about innocence, not being naivety, but rather a deeper form of awareness.
That’s a beautiful way to put it. Innocence often gets confused with naivety, as if it implies an absence of experience or knowledge. But true innocence, in this deeper sense, is more about a conscious choice to see the world with an open heart and a sense of wonder, despite understanding its complexities. It’s a kind of awareness that allows for compassion and hope without denying the darker realities of life.
Innocence as awareness means that a person sees things as they are but chooses kindness and authenticity, embodying a purity of intention that isn’t rooted in ignorance but in mindful optimism. It’s like choosing to stay grounded in what’s good and meaningful, even when confronted with what isn’t.
For me it is a whole new perspective that is gentle and powerful at the same time. If you still get a chance to sign up for this series, I can only recommend it. It is inspiring, thought provoking and beautiful.

I don’t know about you, but I choose to be innocent 🙂
I recently was invited to an online seminar from David Whyte again and was very intrigued by the title. As I was reading the introduction to this Sunday series you see below, I felt the urge to share it with you. I love how he expresses the journey to change.
* * * “A Matter of Life and Death is a title that allows me the excuse to work with all the things that are so important to us, but that often lie beneath the immobility of our every day habits and little addictions, waiting to be touched, brought to life and then brought out into a waiting world. One of the most difficult gifts a human being can give themselves is the self-permission to pursue a life they have intuited might be possible for themselves, but where they have not dared to grant themselves a real beginning.
With just a little courage, and with just a little willingness to die a tiny bit everyday from our present lives we can start to uncover the as yet hidden place from which we can begin. Underneath the constant busyness, the refusals to hear the call: underneath all of our often misplaced priorities, beyond the boredom that arises from our operating on automatic, each of us has a ground onto which we can step and from which we can step into a new adventure.
But no matter our grand designs or far-off goals, the ability to bring our gifts to light is often dependent on the subtle, everyday art and practice of saying hello and saying goodbye in the crucial, often life changing moments of our every day.” ~ David Whyte (Three Sundays in November) * * *
When I was writing all of this on Sunday 29.09., I didn’t know that I would be called the next day to be apart of a matter of life or death in my family. Nor did I have an idea what transformational experience this would bring to me. Further more I feel it will keep on changing and molding things in various parts of my life for the future. I can feel how sadness and joy is the same spectrum of energy and how my perspective changes it one way or the other. I am feeling deep gratitude.
