A feeling of emptiness is an unhappy or frightening feeling that nothing is worthwhile, especially when you are very tired or have just experienced something upsetting.


Do you feel rejected? Do you feel empty, alone and lonely? Do you want something but anything you do just to get it didn't work? Are you longing for a success? Are you not contented with what you have now? Do you find your happiness?

Emptiness is a kind of feelings which we always afraid to feel, there are always a time we afraid to do something, there are things that always played in our mind, we tend to make all things difficult, we always get things complicated. We always search for something that we're sure its the best way to overcome this feelings. Maybe we discovered things that is not working with our mind and is not producing a tranquility.

As we walked through this life, we always encountered things that gives us the reason to asked our self ..What if?, why?, how come?, when i could feel freedom?, where could i found peace?.Where do i begin?

When we were younger we always take a view of life easy, we don't even think its importance, its true meaning,its true value. When we get bored we just sit and watched TV and tune in our favorite cartoon shows, we just spend all days in playing and we don't feel empty as long as we have something that makes us happy, we were just contented on what we have.

When we grow older and when we get bored, in often times it is normal to open our tv and watched movies, we get a night out with friends, out of town, or past time in malls.

When i was in college, there are a lot of things i dreamed and wished for, i was born nothing, i came from a simple family with a simple life. I only have a pair of shoes which i used from my high school days up to my third year in college, i only have 3 pants which my aunt given to me. I have 6 shirts with different colors, but only one brand! i feel envy that time with my classmates, because they had all things they want, new shirts, pants, shoes, a brand new cellphones and either an expensive car. I feel angry why i was born like this, I feel empty. And i am not contented with what i have that time. I feel rejected with my surroundings. One time i decided to go to church and pray, pray for all those materialistic things, pray that someday God will help me to have those things, and I watched all those people who were entering the church that time, i observe their actions, and their effort on praying, and that time it's flash on my mind if what was their prayers for?, do they also feel emptied like me, because as i saw, they arrived in church with a expensive car, with a branded shirts and pants, and so whats makes them to decide to go to church and pray?. Do we pray in common, after a while i saw this young men top naked, with bruises on his arms, with nasty and dirty hair, and is seated outside in front of the church, also praying, then suddenly i realized how futile and empty all it was, if i got all those things i wanted i always be unsatisfied, i wanted more the things i dreamed of, i wanted someone for real,
I wanted something that wouldn't leave me feeling empty after a little while. i realized if i got those things could i feel happiness?. Could i free myself from emptiness?.

Life's get bored when we don't get all things we wanted, we always search for our happiness, we always search for peace, we always want someone who will not leaves us and lead us to feel empty..
Our fear is one of the things that gives us emptiness, lack of faith causes fear, and that fear causes our action and our mind to stop and be contented for what we have then suddenly you will feel emptiness.

Spacious openness in which all experiences self-liberate is one of the best things that we can do to surpass this feelings of being empty, we begin to see that this thing we call 'life' is a succession of experiences, of sensations, emotions and thoughts.
And we begin that the notion of 'me' is one of the succession of overcoming an emptied life.(from Luminous Emptiness- a Mahamudra blog)

We were only frustrate with our desires, we were only not understand of what we are encountering, we just need to meditate and motivate ourselves from this side of life. Observe things happened in the bright side, Learned how to accept who you are, learned to accept that we couldn't get all things we wanted, in times it is important that we delivered the truthfulness of our life, need to see our dark side and practice to surpass and control it.

Our character and our personalities is a part of life that we should make a clear path of changes. Not all of us should leave in common, no one of us should be drown in emptiness, there are always a cure for this it is "you", it is "me", it is "us" who is need to move, act, and do changes in life.
Be aware in anything and in everything, open our eyes on something that might be useful for changes that we need, clarify, and see if life is truly and deeply magnify importance of contentment, experience and explore anything that will help to open up your mind from all things that cause you fear to do one thing. What you wished and dreamed for?. illuminate it..and know the consequences on how to pursue it, Emptiness is a frightening feeling that nothing is a worthwhile..but if we just analyze anything that makes our self feels empty, nothing is impossible to overcome this feelings. Life is a matter of choices, if we chose to be emptied, make sure we know how to surpass it..Don't make yourself focus on things which is just an illusion, make something in reality, believe and have faith, you are the one who control your self, leave behind your negative aspects and follow your positive views on beyond your expectations.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqywO9RTrb8
