Make Some Space: The Beauty of Akasha and Why You Need It

Let’s talk about space—the kind that doesn’t show up in your calendar, but that your soul is craving.

In Ayurveda, Akasha is one of the five great elements. It's not a thing you can touch—it's the space where everythingbegins. The quiet before the sound. The pause before the breath. The stillness before a new chapter.

Akasha is the container for all healing.
And if you don’t have space, there’s nowhere for the healing to land.

Why Space Matters

We all want to feel better, lighter, clearer, more grounded. But when we’re constantly moving, giving, doing, solving—there’s no room to receive. No place to hold that breath, that message, that deep exhale.

Ayurveda teaches us that Akasha is where wisdom lives. The Akashic records, the soul’s memory, spirit, breath—all of it flows through space. It’s subtle, powerful, and always available when we slow down enough to feel it.

Creating Space Isn’t Complicated—But It Is Sacred

For me, space is my morning time, before the kids wake up. It’s quiet. Still. My moment to just be. Some mornings I do my practice—movement, breath, meditation. Other mornings I head to the gym. And sometimes, I just sit. With my tea, my breath, and the silence.

Even five minutes of space changes how I move through my day.

It’s not about perfection—it’s about presence.

How You Can Create Your Own Akasha

Here are some simple, beautiful ways to invite space into your day:

  • Wake up before the world does – Light a candle. Sit in silence. Listen to your breath.

  • Breathwork or Pranayama – 3 minutes of Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) can change everything.

  • Journaling – Write what’s on your heart. Let it spill. This clears emotional space.

  • Oil your body – Abhyanga (self-massage with warm oil) is grounding and loving.

  • Declutter a corner – Physical space creates mental ease.

  • Nature walk – Even 10 minutes outside, without your phone, creates internal space.

  • Say “no” without guilt – Boundaries are space.

  • Turn off the noise – Put your phone on do not disturb, even just during meals or before bed.

You Deserve Room to Be

You are not meant to be go-go-go from sunrise to bedtime. You are allowed to take up space. You are allowed to needspace. You are allowed to protect your energy without explanation.

Because in that space?
That’s where you’ll hear the answers.
That’s where your breath gets deeper.
That’s where your healing begins.

So today, I invite you to make a little room—for peace, for presence, for you.

Because the more space you hold inside, the more magic has room to unfold.

With love and a deep exhale,
Chandravati

From A 'House' to A 'Home'

From A 'House' to A 'Home' : Creating My Space, My Way There’s something incredibly powerful about starting fresh—not from rock bottom, but from a place of clarity. I didn’t “lose” a home in my divorce. I let go of a house that no longer felt like one. I never imagined I’d be starting over like this. Not after 20 years of building a life, a home, a family. Divorce wasn't part of the plan—but then again, life doesn’t always ask us before it turns everything upside down. For years, I lived in a space that checked all the boxes on paper. But inside, it felt off. It was filled with the weight of expectations, routines that didn’t nourish me, and walls that quietly echoed a version of life I had outgrown. The truth is, I had been living in a house, not a home. Fast forward to today, and things look a whole lot different. I’ve created a space that’s completely mine. It’s not about square footage or decor perfection. It’s about warmth, energy, and peace. It's about thr...

For the Women Walking Alone

  For the Women Walking Alone (But Who Were Never Meant To) There’s something happening right now. A shift. Women are carrying so much—kids, careers, relationships, emotions—and still showing up like it's all fine. But a lot of us are  not  fine. Especially moms. Especially single moms. Especially women going through transitions—divorce, heartbreak, burnout, postpartum. Let’s talk about it. Postpartum Is Not Just About Diapers We’re told that postpartum lasts 6 weeks. But the truth? It can take  years  to feel like yourself again. You're not just healing a body—you’re integrating a whole new identity. Your hormones are all over the place, you're sleep-deprived, and your world has flipped upside down. And if you don’t have a strong support system? That lack hits deep. No one’s showing up with food. No one’s holding the baby while you shower. No one’s asking how  you  are. It’s a lot. And it's lonely. Where’s the Village? We’ve all heard “it takes a vill...

Divorce & Motherhood - The Ugly Nobody Talks About

Divorce & Motherhood:  The Ugly Nobody Talks About—and the Thriving That Comes After Let’s have the real talk. Not the Instagram version. Not the “you got this, mama” pep talk. But the real, soul-baring truth about divorce and motherhood—the kind that guts you before it grows you. Because if you’ve been there (or you’re there right now), you know: This journey is not just paperwork and custody schedules. It’s grief. It’s guilt. It’s rage and relief and shame and freedom—all tangled together in a body that still has to pack lunches, show up to activites and remember the damn password for the school portal. The Ugly That No One Talks About 1.  The silent guilt. Even when the divorce is the right thing— especially  when it is—you still carry the weight. Guilt for breaking up the “family.” Guilt for what the kids saw, didn’t see, should’ve seen. Guilt for choosing yourself. And yet… choosing yourself is  exactly  what makes you the kind of mother your children a...
