When you are full of problems, there is no room for

you can, make some room, create some space, so that you
findthelifeunderneathyourlifesituation.
Useyour sensesfully.Be where youare.Lookaround.
Just look, don't interpret. See the light, shapes, colors,
textures. Be aware of the silent presence of each thing. Be
awareofthespacethatallowseverythingtobe.Listentothe
sounds; don't judge them. Listen to the silence underneath
the sounds. Touch something — anything — and feel and
acknowledge its Being. Observe the rhythm of your
breathing;feeltheairflowinginandout,feelthelifeenergy
