Aditi – Goddess of Sweet Spaciousness

Aditi is a Vedic goddess and is known as Mother Space – she is the mother of the first generation of Indian gods and goddesses, and is seen as a creation goddess. She is an immensely creative goddess, but she reminds us of a very specific aspect of creativity that often gets overlooked – creative space. She steps forward to call your attention to this aspect now. How much space are you getting in your life right now? And that’s in various aspects – time, energy, physical space, mental, emotional, etc.

Aditi’s Message For You…

Space. Space to breathe. Space to think. Space to dance. Space to rest. Space to just be. Just be in this moment with nothing. Nothing to do. Nothing to strive for. Nothing to wrestle with. Nothing to figure out. Nothing to release. Nothing. And the blessed relief that comes with it. 

We are manic fillers of space, are we not? We see a slot in our busy schedule and we fill it. We see a gap opening up in our day, a spare hour here or there, and we don’t even give it much consideration – we just fill it with whatever we can. Anything to avoid the empty space. Anything to avoid an encounter with nothing.

And yet here lies the genesis of our creativity. Yes, conception is an act we undertake, but without the empty space redolent of fertility in potentia, it’s an act that can never occur.

So, yes, sweet spaciousness. The opportunity to sink into the empty moment without the urge to stuff it full of stuff. And more stuff. And more. The opportunity just to be without doing – no words, no actions, no expectations, no attachments. Just nothing.

Items for Aditi’s Altar: Stars, star maps, constellations, an empty space, items that represent the womb, a  trishul, clear quartz, empty vessels.

Aditi’s Favourite Quote: “Space and silence are two aspects of the same thing. The same no-thing. They are externalization of inner space and inner silence, which is stillness: the infinitely creative womb of all existence.” ~ Eckhart Tolle
