Meditation creates space in consciousness. In the same way that yoga creates space in the body and in turn allows for increased energy flow, meditation creates space in the mindーthen, invites us to "rise above" the mental self. In the process, old, long-hardened emotions rise up to be seen, known, and healed. Such is the stage that Mae is going through, as she shares a deeply personal journal entry from her morning pages.
