In any moment, we can experience spaciousness. Whether you’re responding to messages and emails, writing, washing a dish, talking to someone, sitting in on a meeting, doing something courageous and inspired … you can experience it as spacious.
The thing to recognize is that it’s a choice. You can choose to feel anxious and rushed in any moment, or to feel expansive and spacious and at peace. You get to choose your experience of any moment.

How to Practice
So how do you practice this miraculous way to create spaciousness in your life?
Try to practice right now, as you read this …
Take a moment to sit still and allow your awareness to expand outward, so that you feel more expansive.
Allow your breath to be deeper and wider, so you feel a spacious nourishing breath.
Allow yourself to feel as wide as the sky, so that all of life feels expansive and spacious.
Allow yourself to slow down for a moment, so that life feels more spread out and delicious.
This is the kind of practice you can do in any moment, with any activity. You don’t have to do all 4 of these steps, but you can try whatever helps you to feel spaciousness, peace, freedom and expansiveness in each moment.
Try moving a little slower, so you aren’t so rushed.
Try savoring each moment.
Try imagining that you can do anything within a wide open fresh expanse of the universe.
What would it be like if your life could be experienced with greater spaciousness?
As you practice moment to moment, you can expand how spacious your life feels as a whole. You go from feeling constantly rushed and behind … to feeling life as abundant, free and much more peaceful.
In my Systema training I'm always looking for spaciousness, just watch me closely,
