The Rising: Holding Space for Possibility

There’s a sacred space in the first few moments of the rising. In the rising, I feel it: a clean slate, a universe of potential possibilities inside me. I feel like I can do anything .

And then, my present self gently (or not so gently) arrives. It brings a to-do list of, worries, and things outside of my control.

But I am learning. I am getting to the point of not allowing the things I cannot control to overshadow my emotions.

Because an emotion is just that: energy in motion through the body. It’s meant to be felt, not fought. It’s a visitor, not a permanent resident.

So I let the rising possibilities and the daytime reality coexist. I let the energy move. And I choose, again and again, to return to the rising within.
