You've probably had this experience before where you've held a seat, a space, for someone as he or she is very important to you, and thus, you wanted him or her to join in the experience with you.

Now, what does it mean to hold a space for someone?

It means that you're reserving it, and that no one else can take that space.  With this said, what if you could do this in every moment, and I'll tell you what I mean.

Your higher self, your God self, your Spirit longs to come through you in the expansion of the Universe.  Thus, when you are across from someone in a conversation, it wants to be exposed in love. 

When you are with someone in conversation, then you're holding a space for whatever is to unfold to come through.  As Eckhart Tolle describes, we are nothing but space and so is everything else.  When you think of it in these terms, then you are space providing space for love to come through.

Let me give you an example with a humorous twist....

I live with my boyfriend, and he is very expressive when something is bothering him.  Having said this, he will want to engage in conversation discussing the emotion he is feeling.  I, on the other hand, am not expressive in this way, and will tend to spend time in solitude with the perceived "negative" emotion. 

When my boyfriend has done this, I have judged and thought, "OMG, when is he going to stop discussing it.  He's driving me crazy."  This scenario is not Spirit communicating, it's my ego and definitely having fun at my expense.

My awareness of this has helped me to create a different space.  Now, I will draw an imaginary circle, a space of awareness, and allow him to say what he needs to say to go in the circle without adding anything, including judgment and resistance.  In this way, I don't allow the energy to penetrate my being and have to do anything with it, but love the space of awareness.   Allowing this experience has taught me that what is inside of him is also in me.  Thus, allowing the energy to go where it needs to go has been very freeing.

As my daughter will say when she is expressing herself. "Mom, I just need you to listen.  I don't want any advice."  No matter how many times we have a conversation, she still reminds me what is needed.  And the circle of awareness gets drawn for this experience. 

Being consciously aware is the way to expand into who you really are, and being on this journey with you is wonderful.  I love space, and the more I can be consciously aware of this, the more my life will be living from the essence and formlessness.  And you will too!
