Emptiness within (The Void) creates space for the things that really matter riding ourselves of everything that doesn’t. The Void is an opportunity to uplift and support us during those very dark and difficult moments we find ourselves in. The moments where we feel stuck, stagnant, miserable and distracted. That emptiness we feel is merely space for growth, elevation and expansion. This requires moments for us to pause and reflect to go deep within ourselves to “see” what’s honestly no longer serving our highest good. It’s an opportunity to free our minds from bondage and imprisonment; the beliefs that keeps us swimming in the reservoirs of illusions of false security, familiarity and deafening comfort that convinces us that it’s perfectly fine to remain this way or to settle with this life that we rather not live but believe this life is the only alternative. No. The Void is a time to realize we would rather swim in the oceans of Love and Truth and not the man made reservoirs of Lies and fear.
If we feel empty, lost or in a “dark place”, we could choose to embrace all that’s empty, lost, and uncertain. We could choose to grieve for a moment of everything we are now required to detach from because there’s more and something bigger and better in store for us if we simply let go and surrender to The Void. Since we are accustomed to certain survival mechanisms, we naively think and believe we are safe because of the familiarity and comfort of the false conditioning of past beliefs, habits, patterns, attitudes, lifestyles or upbringing we have been attached to for so long. However, most of us secretly or overtly crave something more meaningful and different but have no clue as to how we will arrive there. This period of uncertainty of how we’ll get there is natural to feel. It’s also unnecessary to struggle against. Surrendering and letting go allows space for the right answers to surface, the right paths become illuminated, what once felt limited becomes limitless; everything just suddenly clicks and comes together naturally because we boldly decided to surrender and trust ourselves and God.
In order to reach and embrace the boundless and joyous delights of space, we must be willing to let go of everything that doesn’t align with the new life that’s in gestation. This means embracing change and transformation however minute or significant. It means preparing ourselves to be ready to sacrifice our current life for the new one that’s coming in. This means stepping out of of our comfort zones to do things we thought we’d never do because of fear, it means no longer making excuses for why something can’t be done, it means communicating to our friends and family that we have tasks to complete, so no, I can’t talk right now, I can’t do this, or go there because I have important work to do. It also means unconditionally loving and accepting ourselves until we are able to overcome any self-worth issues that convinces us that we are not good enough for what we truly desire.
When we fully embrace The Void (emptiness), we arrive on the island of clarity, love, acceptance, expansion, inspiration and total surrender and freedom. Everything that didn’t make sense then becomes revelations for how those undesirable circumstances and very challenging situations were happening for us the entire time. Hindsight is now 20/20 and we are able to move through life and personal experiences with more confidence, vigor and dynamism. We feel more inspired, motivated, willful and determined to do everything required of us. There is no room for fear, doubt, limitations, negativity, low self-worth, guilt and shame because we boldly entered the crowed space where these things once occupied and decided to graciously get rid of it all so unconditional love, acceptance, strength, courage, inspiration and freedom can now reside within us and around us. Emptiness is not an enemy. It is an opportunity to fill that space with whatever we want. The choice is ours. How are you embracing The Void and what will you now fill that space with?
