The cyber generation are hooked into My Space or Facebook or a whole host of on line communities that leverage the power of Internet networking but what about your own space?  It is a common expression isn't it, "I need my space"?  How much personal space you need very much depends on your typology and your current physical environment.  At work, do you have your own space, somewhere you can go and think and just 'be'?  What about at home?  Do you have a room or a den that you can retreat to and just relax or do nothing?  Perhaps you can listen to a great piece of music in the isolation of a pair of headphones, taking you far far away from the hustle and bustle of an otherwise busy day?

Imagine standing in a wide open space on a perfectly white floor - holding a thick black marker pen in your hand and then drawing a perimeter around you.  An impenetrable shield if you like, through which nothing can enter unless invited.  That is how you can start to create some virtual or mental space.  Start to think about having that haven that is just for you. 

If physical space is not readily available in your working or living environment you can create it in a number of different ways.  Taking solitary walks in parks or woodlands is a great meditative process where you can create all the space you need.  It connects us back to the natural habitat that we were intended to dwell in.  You can take as little as 10 minutes a day, even in a busy office - put your mobile and your desk phone onto divert and switch off your computer screen.  If you have a pair of headphones, listen to something relaxing.  Tense up your muscle groups and then systematically let them all relax, one by one deeply as you go back to your natural state and allow yourself to draw that big circle around you.  When you stand in a crowd, create your mental and physical space and if anybody comes too close, either move or gently remind them that you need your space.  Now......................doesn't that feel better already?
