“Each of us is born to be awesomely beneficial, and we have within us the capacity to use our mind, speech, body, qualities and activities in an extremely exalted way.
…There is something really important we each have to contribute, and in order to contribute we have to face the reality that we can in fact contribute in a great way.”
—Ziji Rinpoche
Story:
When I was a young girl, I used to imagine myself sitting on the moon whenever things felt hard, confusing, or beyond my understanding.
I’d sit there with my knees pulled to my chest, arms wrapped around my shins, gazing out into the vast darkness of space, stars scattered everywhere, with the Earth resting far in the distance. Sitting there in my imagination brought perspective, it gave me faith and trust in something larger, something beautiful and awe-inspiring.
It also affirmed that we are never alone. We are woven into something vast, something ineffable, a force both intimate and infinite that no words can fully contain.
It is the ordinary and the extraordinary intertwined. Science and physics reveal that everything—every star, every tree, every breath we take—is composed primarily of space itself. What appears solid is, at its core, spaciousness.
Spaciousness is not only physical; it is a feeling, a resting place. It is the openness of heart and mind, the quiet expanse within us that is the vastness of nature’s intelligence itself.
When it may look or even feel like garbage, relax into what you feel, feel it all, feel the energy. Rest and get busy.
This is also the essence of yoga and meditation: the unity of all things. It is the practice of feeling, resting, breathing and moving with our sensations, thoughts, and emotions—into a deeper knowing, an instinctive understanding of our wholeness just as we are.
So, take a moment now to feel the magic and sparkle of the universe, relax—feel it in the small moments, look up to the sky and acknowledge it within your own body. This ease, this warmth—is always present as the heart and energy of nature’s intelligence offering us incredible resilience.
Even in discomfort—the undesirable, the desirable, and those we struggle with most—spaciousness and stability remain. Everyone suffers. Stay open-hearted in the moment, face everything fully, and respond from that place of love and benefit. When the road less traveled feels difficult, take it. Allow love to shine.
Draw inspiration from the soothing rhythms of nature and the pleasure of music—move your body, dance for a few minutes each day. The hum of the universe is within you, ready for beneficial action. Listen to the primordial vibe—feel.
Practice is essential. Nurture what is already true. Self-care is an act of kindness. Confirm this inherent knowing within your own body and mind.

Meditation Tip:
Sit quietly in the morning and simply be. Do this every day. Over time, your sitting will naturally extend. Start with just a few minutes. What matters is that you keep meditating. The breath will find its rhythm without effort, guided by the body's intelligence, opening channels as needed.
Try box breathing to begin: Inhale through your nose for six counts. Hold at the top for six. Exhale for six. At the end of the exhale, contract your low abs, drawing your navel toward your spine and lifting it slightly. Hold for six counts, then repeat. Do a few rounds, then let it go. Don’t worry about controlling it. The natural state takes over—because it is you.
Just meditate.
Gertrude Stein on Loving Repeating:
As I was saying loving repeating being is in a way earthly being. In some it is repeating that gives to them always a solid feeling of being. In some children there is more feeling and in repeating eating and playing, in some in story-telling and their feeling. More and more in living as growing young men and women and grown men and women and men and women in their middle living, more and more there comes to be in them differences in loving repeating in different kinds of men and women, there comes to be in some more and in some less loving repeating. Loving repeating in some is a going on always in them of earthly being, in some it is the way to completed understanding. Loving repeating then in some is their natural way of complete being. This is now some description of one.
(from The Making of Americans)
And so, just as the sun lights the moon, its radiance is one and the same. Just as the warmth of the sun’s rays is the sun itself, everything is indivisible. To truly know this, simply relax, feel, and be. Keep practicing, keep meditating, keep breathing, keep feeling, keep moving.
Om,
