inner space
The mind's realm
Inner space is the realm within—whether the depths of the ocean, the interior of the body, or the landscape of the mind.
The term emerged as a counterpart to outer space, turning attention inward rather than toward the cosmos.
Meditation is a journey into inner space.
The phrase often carries spiritual or psychological overtones, suggesting exploration of consciousness or the self.
