Yes. Yes. Yes. That empty feeling. It's a wonderful inner place. For some reason, it's perceived to be a bad thing, and some fill it with chaos and discontent (I did), when maybe it doesn't have to be filled with anything. But maybe like any vacuum, it will naturally fill with things once you get rid of all the junk, and then you can be more cautious about what you put in there. For me the emptiness itself was quiet enough to be enjoyable. I didn't need to put anything into it. I don't experience it much anymore, and that's OK because much of the junk is gone. Maybe the empty space just got smaller. I don't know.
