“ More light doesn’t arrive by force - it arrives when there is space to hold it.” - Sally Polihronas

Lets Dive in...

Hello Reader,

As the year quietly turns, I’ve noticed how different it feels to begin from a rested place rather than a rushed one.

After some time away, slowing down a little, breathing deeper, and living a little more gently, I’ve been sitting with what really matters as we step into what’s next. And what keeps returning to me is this:

The invitation isn’t just to plan or reflect - it’s to expand the capacity that holds your life, your creativity, and your possibilities.

I touched on this briefly last week, but I want to go a little deeper now. Because your ability to receive and hold what you desire is the most important work you can do and far more foundational than manifestation rituals, goal lists, or vision boards.

The universe doesn’t respond to effort alone. It responds to capacity.

Your Ideas and opportunities don’t arrive because you want them badly enough. They land when your system; your nervous system, your energy, your inner capacity - has the space to receive and hold what’s being offered.

Expansion isn’t effort, it’s a quiet, universal practice of becoming able to contain more: more joy, more abundance, more creativity and more presence.

The more light you can hold, the more effortlessly life flows to you.
This is the work before action and before manifestation, it's the preparation that aligns your inner field with what’s ready to arrive.

​

The Takeaway

Your capacity determines what can arrive.

• Expanding capacity allows opportunities, ideas, and creativity to flow naturally.

The more you can hold, the more you can receive - without force or overwhelm.
​

Something to Try

This week, practice expanding your capacity:

• Sit quietly and imagine your energy widening, like light radiating outward.
• Feel your capacity to hold more - more possibilities, more inspiration, more life.
• Notice the subtle shift in how you perceive the world when you're open and ready.
• Think about what you are manifesting, how does your body feel when you are receiving. Are you contracting or expanding? The body will show you what you need more of.

Presence matters more than action right now. Let your capacity grow, and see how naturally opportunities meet you.

I appreciate you!

Until next week,

Much love,

Sally xx
