Do you fill the silence, or create space for it?

Hello beautiful beings, I hope that you are feeling some spaciousness within body and mind after yesterday's Gemini New Moon! I had a recent realisation that has made a meaningful difference in how I communicate and receive information, both physically and energetically...

Over the past few months, I've found myself engaged in conversations that were lacking in spaciousness. In each of these, I was interested, engaged, and learned a lot within the sharing. But felt that something was lacking, and that I came away missing something.

And recently, I had a conversation with a friend where we asked each other questions, and allowed time and space to sit with the answers, to breathe through the unconscious thought or distractions, and feel into the deeper truths. And even within a much shorter conversation, I walked away with more clarity, understanding, and a deep sense of being changed within.

A great example of 'less is more'.

I would encourage you to pay attention to the ways you converse and commune over the coming days and weeks, and meditate on the following:

• When do I rush into speaking because I feel as though I'm not being heard, or not being included?
• When do I default to old answers, when they don't actually ring true any more? When am I used to reacting, instead of allowing more space for a more accurate response?
• When do I switch off or zone out in a conversation? When do the responses become automatic because there is a lack of connection, or I feel unheard? (And when do I answer with 'Fine'?)
• Am I afraid to allow some silence, contemplation, space for discovery within my conversations? What about the spaciousness scares me, and how can I acquaint myself with it, and embrace it?

Rushing or rushing through can indicate fear, lack of trust, an inability to sit with self, and that by slowing your reactions, you open space for authenticity, in communication, and within. Remember to breathe before you react, to feel into your responses, to give the most accurate answer. You, and those you connect with, will benefit!

Feel free to get in touch and share what this brings up for you. I would love to witness your musings, questions, and epiphanies!
