We explore the powerful concept of holding space for others without losing yourself, a crucial skill for anyone who feels drained when helping loved ones or struggles to support without becoming overwhelmed.
• Holding space means being present without judgment or trying to fix someone
• Creating a "sacred container" allows others to process emotions without you absorbing them
• Recognizing when you're getting emotionally entangled rather than being supportive
• Intensifying your presence through mindfulness and grounding techniques
• Understanding that boundaries protect your peace while holding space invites theirs
• Trusting someone's journey without needing to control it
• Acknowledging suffering as a teacher that some people need for growth
• Practicing forgiveness as releasing your grip on pain, not condoning behavior
• Using affirmations like "I offer space, not solutions" to strengthen your practice
• Guided meditation for centering yourself when supporting others
