If we want to hold space, either for ourselves or for others, we can’t fill that space.
Sometimes, people will attempt to ‘hold space’ for others but fail to provide a Conscious atmosphere of non-judgement, instead imposing their own opinion, judgements, conclusions or will on the conversation.
That’s not holding space, that’s filling space.
If you’re filling space with your judgements, beliefs, conclusions, etc., you can’t help yourself or anyone else achieve change.
This is a ‘Universal’ Binary (applies to every moment of life):
| Love Consciousness Swipe Left | Fear Consciousness |

| Holding Space | Filling Space |
