When consciousness is no longer totally absorbed by thinking, some of it remains in its formless, unconditioned, original state. This is inner space.

Be aware that what you think, to a large extent, creates the emotions that you feel. See the link between your thinking and your emotions. Rather than being your thoughts and emotions, be the awareness behind them.

Our thinking, perceiving, and worrying take away all the space inside us, and keep us from being in touch with what’s happening moment to moment.

Stop for a moment now and contemplate in horror the endless list of attachments that you have become a prisoner to.
